Ma Bell telling me, "advertising is a reality in today's world."

Me, running NextDNS, uBlock, and using Reader modes whenever I can, "No."

wow, I just mistakenly updated my iPhone to iOS 26 and it's… so, so bad! So bad!
Where's the darn translate page button in the browser when I'm clearly looking at a non-English site? Why is the "show reader" button overlapping other buttons? Who approves this shit? Did they fire the QA folks and replace them with Siri again?

in long writing sessions, which I'm doing right now, the Mac way seems to make more sense - I want to delete the word and replace it, not having to bother with the space before it.

DigitalOcean pre-install Ubuntu image servers… and thanks for the advice on the docker images. I've yet to try that on my "production" stuff. I'll try it… 🙂

One #quirky difference I've noticed in the last few days between #Mac and #Windows is that in Mac, if I press "Cmd+Del" on text, it deletes the word but not the preceding space, and on Windows, it deletes the word AND the space.

The dreaded thing in my life right now is migrating an old Ubuntu 20.x server to latest and greatest. It's mostly running a few WordPress installs, but also a few random things like a golang app etc. All running through nginx.

I know I should bite the bullet and just get a new server and migrate over manually… but I'm… lazy. How can I get the new server up and running with Ubuntu, nginx, and certbot in under, say, 10 minutes? Then I can do the manual parts of the migration myself.

Dangit. Kicked my miniPC as I stretched and its fan went haywire. Popped out the power cable and put it back in a bit. System seems back online and temps are holding (+53.0°C). Noise is no longer present.

What else can I check to see that I didn't damage the little one? I'm running way too many services on this one to sleep peacefully - n8n, freshrss, minio, linkding, memos, kokoro, and my tailscale entrypoint into my home network!

yeah I'm never hosting there!

On the topic of getting a server up and running fast… I've yet to master that skill. Teach me?
