GM.
Sunday afternoon in great company, thought provoking conversation. Personal task is to identify small actions I can do to contribute to circular economy. 🤔

GM and TGIF. It's going to be a busy one at work today. Is it five pm yet?

".. we should worry about our private data being collected even if no one is using it at the moment for evil purposes - data often gets misused eventually.

Valentine's day for singles is fun as well. I spent mine doing my favourite pastimes both alone and in good company.

"I remember someone explaining that social safety nets don’t exist out of kindness alone. Welfare isn’t about generosity from the wealthy.
It exists because people with a little will protect it, but people with nothing to lose can be incredibly dangerous.
That lesson feels forgotten." #SeenOnline

Welcome to the Nostr universe 🌌

Catching up on pending podcasts episodes, touching on macro, geo politics, the first agreed definition of genocide, and privacy.

2026-01-17 11:15:50 UTC

GM.
Recently, I have tried being idle on my commute to work or walks.
Not listening to podcasts or music, and instead just being there: looking at things on my way like other people, stuff you can find on the street.
Our brains hate being bored/idle. It takes some effort to form that habit, too.

Slowly migrating away from big tech cloud services and to other, closer providers. Self-hosted where it makes sense, too.

GM. Welcome to 2026 (jury is out on whether it will be happy).

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.. 😴

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

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.. 😵‍💫

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.. 😅

An "exciting" new challenge for the new year is transferring data across Google accounts and have a mobile phone switch to the new account.

2025-12-23 18:47:00 UTC

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

Recompiling the kernel after installing a distro was fun, but eventually leaving the stock kernel was convenient and just as good.

My home servers became unreachable all of a sudden and I bet it's just the broadband modem that needs power cycling.
Anybody has a smart plug setup to automate this "turn it off and on again" functionality? #IFTTT

Cryptography was considered to be in the same bag as ammunition back then.

Reading about STUN, TURN, and ICE. Hoping my VoIP provider supports it/them. Ideally, I'd TLS to them, but it needs some more reading.
The use case I am looking at should work anywhere.

Success Metrics
You'll know the framework is working when:
-You can find any email/event/contact within 30 seconds.
-Categorisation decisions take <5 seconds.
-You spend more time using your data than organising it.
-Migration to new platforms takes hours, not days.

The perk of buying a real book, one you can hold, is that you can gift it.
Finishing a good book and sharing it afterwards is a great feeling. #books #reading
