So, what is the current best practice of favicons. PNG, SVG, and needed meta-tags? Is there a definite blog post somewhere?

My breakfast this morning. Leftover mashed potatoes, a cup of terrible coffee and an energy drink. My body is a temple of some forgotten, lesser god

Now. I need a book recommendation. I know my next book will be heavy, so something light and sci-fi or fantasy

Finished reading: Conclave by Robert Harris 📚

Fun, quick read that tells the story of papal conclave. If you like books by Robert Harris, you will like this

As I am reading Conclave, I realize I would like to read a pre-analysis of the real conclave. Not like some lazy journalist list of front-runners but some specific kind of nerd who spent decades analyzing the Vatican. Are there equivalent of sports data analysts for Catholic Church?

And then thinking ”well, at least I don’t need to go through that 90 minute DEI training”

I am looking for a list of prompts for journalling. Preferably it would be a web page and preferably not ad-infested. Any ideas where to start?

Temperature reading agains a wooden panel. +21°CTracks on deep fresh snow. Trees under snow and a street lamp

I’ve been watching both TNG and now Voyager a lot lately. Voyager is my favourite Trek series. Something about a literal voyage as a story format speaks to me

Today’s tasks:

  • naming

  • cache invalidation rules

How hard could it be?

Saw this on one of the banned books list and I think it is time to finally read it. After the world broke it is time to be 100% woke
