I am perpetually forgetting to prune my Mastodon instance’s object store. The cleanup isn’t even half done and already we’ve removed over 700 GB.

Cloudflare's S3 migration tool is called Super Slurper.

As if I couldn’t love Upcloud more, they’ve rolled out an absolutely incredible free tier. I think I’ll bust some of its limits and pay, but this massively reduces my bill. Incredible.

If you, like me, are looking to move to an EU provider, check them out.

Know what my favourite word is?

Mischief.

It’s not about hurting people. It’s not about destruction. It certainly is not punching down.

It’s troublemaking for people who have all the power and none of the ethics. It’s stirring the pot just enough that change is encouraged. It’s having fun.

It’s Mark Thomas and Joe Lycett, not the Unabomber.

Telling Iranians to “immediately evacuate Tehran” makes me fucking spit.

He doesn’t even care about this conflict, but like so many right-wing fuckwits before him, he knows nothing will shore him up like a good old war.

Meanwhile, innocent civilians suffer.

Even if you consider the Iranian Govenment the enemy, which is dangerously reductionist but okay, the Iranian people are not the fucking enemy.

Look, we all know POISON is a banger, and WHATEVER IT TAKES is properly beautiful, but HELL'S GREATEST DAD is the greatest song in Hazbin Hotel and I will fight you.

Something had been bugging me about MAMMON'S MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL MID-SEASON SPECIAL, so I slowed down the credits, and I was right.

Tom Cardy, you magnificant bastard.

Today in “what the fuck, Claude, you’re supposed to be a decent code AI, what are you doing figuring out exactly what I’m talking about WITH THE SONNET MODEL”

I just wanted my voice transcript made into something coherent.

I refuse to gloat about the missiles hitting Israel. Yet again, the people suffer from their leaders' decisions. But it is very much a case of what did those leaders really expect to happen?

“I found a cool thing”

“Cool thing doesn’t fit my preferences, so it’s shit and so are you”

Oh, Internet, never change.

Wait. No. The other thing. Change. For the love of God, change.

@ajn142 took me until now to realise what you were actually saying. and yeah, probably!

Switched my primary search to DuckDuckGo a week or two ago. Have not regretted it for an instant.

It really is a decent Google competitor, without the nonsense AI summary bullshit.
