Would a Goodreads on the AT protocol be a good idea? Building the database of books would be a pain I think.

Honestly, why? Is an online account tied to some more telemetry, or is there a more malicious NSA type of thing behind this? It has to make them enough money to really push this. They can't be this dense.

I forgot to turn off my pc yesterday, but I had Commands Origins paused. I have a brand spanking new gpu so I play some games now and then. I came into the office this morning like a freakin' sauna.

The average temperature in my office is 25 degrees.

Temperature this morning in my office was 29 degrees.

I spent some time setting up APM for an IoT backend. I use Grafana. After some iterations ended up with promex. It works now. Alerts are also in Grafana, but they're not as good as sentry. Don't want to add an extra tool so I stick to Grafana alerts on slack.

So I have a written statement from the police that they are asking for something that's illegal. And now Amazon is telling me that the police is wrong. What in the actual fuck is wrong with this company.

Apparently I now also need a freakin' lawyer to get my money back from this human garbage company.
