SWE: <clutching pearls> but the code slop!
SRE: <exhaling smoke> you haven't seen what we have seen. slop is as old as time, maybe older. some of us believe slop is how the Universe began. we make your slop run, or a bot's slop run, it's all the same problems, different day

I've been messing around with a custom bluesky pwa with some different ways of grouping, filtering and collapsing the timeline with keyboard shortcuts. It's going ok, looks neat.

I just realized it now looks a lot like Gmail inbox...

bsky email 2fa doesn’t work anymore

Staring out the window, asking myself “when will my confirmation code return from the war?”

I’m on PTO staycation, was looking forward to riding my new bike a lot, but now my knee hurts, probably from a slightly too high seat, after yesterday’s ride. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

Incredibly jazzed that the horrible chain sounds from my bike were my mistake in routing the chain through the rear derailleur and not something worse

My router's power supply died and I got it working again by using the power adapter of my bike smart trainer.

Real devil's bargain here, trading a way to keep sane (exercise) for a firehose of woe and shit (the internet).

My next therapy session will just 80% be explaining this
God grant me the serenity to accept I am cooked,

The courage to say fuck it we ball,

And the wisdom to know when we are so back
