I've had this video about procrastination in my watchlist for ages... 😉

The way she describes procrastination is so spot on.

This is one people here will like I think: find out if you will survive the zombie apocalypse in 28 questions, by Crystal: youtu.be/uvUF6f4gey4?si=GQoNXj…

I'm in the unlikely to survive group... :frown:

I'm not fully understanding the overall plan and the website is unclear about it, but here's more info and a live blog:

In the Netherlands there's one point where two highways cross with traffic lights. To solve this, they are "pushing a tunnel for the A59 underneath the A27", within 100 hours.

I mean, what?

Apparently they dig a gap in one highway, drive the concrete tunnel in that gap, and restore the highway over that new tunnel...

All these steps happen in one weekend, this weekend. This is a time lapse of the tunnel being driven into that gap, which has just finished. It's quite amazing.

I've disabled the Activitypub feature of my WordPress while I investigate the regular server overloads over the past few days. I'm not really suspecting these plugins to be the problem, but the only increased traffic I can see of Activitypub. Even though that is still only a few requests per minute, a pittance in normal server terms, it may be too much for a simple WordPress on the smallest shared hosting.

These Activitypub requests are always coming from the same Mastodon server, and don't seem to relate to normal interactions with my posts. So blocking that server on the firewall is another thing I can try.

There are of course a lot of requests from search index and ai bots, and blocking these is also a next step, but that doesn't seem increased lately.

Such a gorgeous voice...

Philips de Jongh Park Eindhoven (2025)

I like photographing weird trees... It is not as straight as the others...

Canon EOS R10, RF-S 10-18mm.

I went walking and photographing in the Philips de Jongh Wandelpark in Eindhoven yesterday. Quite a nice place to walk through on a sunny day, which it was.

This finch couple was sitting high up in a tree where normally much bigger birds are sitting.
