Getting tempted to move my stuff from GitHub to Codeberg, maybe for everything except my website and its comment system at least. Those are probably stuck forever unless I want to pay for a "real" server and rewrite the comment system 😕

@M0YNG thanks, it's definitely cheaper than last time I had a VPS. I have been thinking about moving some stuff like Wavelog from a home server to the cloud and consolidating stuff there, but there are blockers to most things: the github-based comments for the blog, expensive storage for nextcloud, etc. that mean I have some more work to do first!

(My imagination is now helpfully playing out this scenario for me. It's the war room from Dr Strangelove but a general has just used the phrase "Strategic Blåhaj Reserve")

Note that when I say "arm trans kids" I am not advocating violence. The weapons are strictly for deterrence. This is why, if a kid comes out as trans, they should be issued one (1) UGM-133A Trident II intercontinental ballistic missile

Finally got around to it. This one goes out to all the folks who for some reason wanted a Billy Bass that plays Basket Case but didn't want to pay $79 to enter a fucking raffle. (Sorry Green Day, love you really)

We regretfully announce that I am back on my bullshit again

✅ Smart meter installed
