GM. So much to read, so much to catch up with. Better taking it easy.
Happy Sunday 💪
This "ultra low-cost" European airline that cannot change the email address on my account (on their website) for "security purposes".
They suggest that I can create a new account using my new email address. #airline #UI
Found a reference to this post on a #WBD's interview to Seb Bunney. I'm glad I got around to read it and now I want to add yet another book to my already long reading list. #TheCuratedWorld
One of the perks of working during this week is that we have "two Fridays". (On second thought, I should've taken off Jan 2nd, too.)
Super slow days at work pre-New Year, following an online course.. 😴
Episodes like this one keep me coming back to WBD for more 💪 https://fountain.fm/episode/4bcYaSKJ5AfrbMdgvMHa
Monday started okay, then some email servers were added to a spam list and emails started bouncing.. 😢
I hadn't heard from RBL black lists in years! #email
If I had to distill it:
-Destination gives purpose.
-Journey gives growth.
-Company gives meaning.
If you’re comfortable sharing—are you asking this philosophically, or because you’re at a crossroads right now? #AIramblings
Home sweet home 🏡.
What did I miss? 😅
And yet another excuse to procrastinate doing more important stuff, bookmark folder hierarchy best practices here I come. GN
There was a department store that used to send old fashioned letters to customera on their birthdays.
Generally it's more of an email, little perk, or nothing at all. 😆
Little downtime during Xmas rest lets me do some random homework like reviewing my password manager contents, prune unused accounts, etc.
After "Xmas cleaning" I have only about 300 entries. Only 300...🤔
Found accounts from forums back in the day., where I would happily enter my full name and birth date.. 😵💫
GM. Last few days of 2025. 😉
I think the PDF format is a discrete collection of objects, and what we see is them laid out (black areas on top of the text areas). If printed, it's all good, but if on a PDF reader (and, I assumed it hasn't been flattened), then.. 😅
Ah, thanks for the heads up. I need to sort something out.
An "exciting" new challenge for the new year is transferring data across Google accounts and have a mobile phone switch to the new account.
It's that time of the year when you have a bit of bandwidth to update a gazillion (va. 250) accounts to new email aliases:
- login to website, often 2FA, create alias, set new email address on site, verify, login with new email, 2FA again, next.
Today was a good day, so much that the alias service has rate limited me hahahah.
End goal is a simpler, more granular setup and cheaper than my previous setup. #privacy #identityAttribution
"No, no, it's not because of rare minerals (that China is a major producer of...)"
Recompiling the kernel after installing a distro was fun, but eventually leaving the stock kernel was convenient and just as good.
I enjoy many interviews of #WBD's, but this one is top notch 👌#SeedSigner #btc #bitcoin

If it said "wallet.dat backup", however... 😅

Doing some reading on virtual phone numbers. I want to trial a couple of systems.
Having different email addresses is relatively easy, but phone numbers feels a bit more convoluted.
How many phone numbers is enough?
I think the gap on PC is bigger. Switching apps on a mobile phone feels more natural.
My browser can display PDFs inline. It should render Nostr events, let me be logged in on my account and interact with them.
Just heard of this website, on the news that Zig repo is migrating away from Github.
Gm, plebs ✌️
Reading about better fruits to eat when you try to follow a low-carb, high-fat (#keto) diet. Who'd figure berries are okay? #ketoDiet
"Low-carb fruits include watermelon, avocado, cantaloupe, berries, and more. Although these fruits are the lowest in carbs of most popular fruits, you still need to exercise portion control with most keto-friendly fruits to stay within the carb limits of a keto diet." https://www.verywellhealth.com/keto-fruits-7496128
How has the way we listen to #music changed? Which one do you prefer?
Como ha cambiado la forma de escuchar #música ¿cual prefieres tú?

My smart speaker plays random music (or rather, hits list or styles I've previously indicated I liked).
I ordered a little upgrade to replace my good old #unifi USG home firewall.
If all goes well, I might have a spare firewall and a cloud key module. Ebay candidates..? 🤔 #homeFirewall #usg #cloudkey
Few things better than remembering how the home network firewall used to work but now similar rules don't any longer.
Perhaps it's going gaga, or saw me shopping for a new model.. 😅 #unifi #ubiquiti
Hay personas que dedican su vida a inventar cosas que no sirven para nada, como muestra este ejemplo.
Gracias Satoshi Nakamoto por NO ser uno de ellos y crear #bitcoin.

Sin embargo, es fascinante que alguien haya tenido esa idea. Un dispositivo que no se puede mover con toda la energía del universo 🌌. Para que el último engranaje ⚙️ diera una vuelta completa, ¿cuántas debería dar el primero?
#TIL useful to see on replies whether you are following any given account.
I came across a reply of a #copycat account (same short name, same avatar pic) and I quickly noticed it's not on my followed list 👌
(this copycat account has just a handful of followers in comparison, but still.)
I expected many normies would welcome ditching #WhatsApp in favour of apps like #Telegram, but the network effect is strong..
No wonder some still see Telegram like "bad guys" (and gals) app, but hey... We need to pick our battles.
