I might’ve just participated in money laundering: a guy walked into the no-cash coffee shop I’m at, craving that sweet, sweet coffee, trying to pay with cash. Sometimes you just need that fix, so I paid, and now I’m up 1 SEK 🚀

sometimes on windows I can’t delete files, even in an administrator terminal, so I start WSL and rm -rf it. there’s no questions. 🤷

Migrating an old beads backup to 0.62.0 I got a wall of Warning: failed to restore issues row: Error 1054 (HY000): Unknown column 'hook_bead' in 'issues'. Made a quick script to fix up the backup format: https://gist.github.com/gaqzi/c2d760627daceffa1f062f93244c3e8e

today’s windows fun: when sshing into a Windows machine (what a modern world we live in) and trying to operate on git repos using Azure DevOps in HTTPS mode, it’ll fail because wincredman doesn’t work over SSH. remote desktop to type git push it is https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/blob/main/docs/credstores.md#windows-credential-manager

and now I’ve strung up all the beads experiences from the last couple of days 😆

Iterating on a 3D print takes 20+ minutes per attempt (maybe that can be improved?) and somehow that feels more fun than waiting on a slow test suite. Maybe it’s because when I’m waiting on the printer I just work on other software projects. Or watch TV. 🤷‍♀️

I printed a grip strength trainer from Maker World which my mom has been using and said she caught herself opening jars she hadn’t been able to open on her own before. I’m enjoying these random finds from getting the printer 🙂

I didn’t really realize just how big 5mm is until I used it as a ‘reasonable tolerance’ when designing a 3D printed bin. It’s now looser than a really poor joke!

and now I own an apartment, time for the renovations to begin, and then hopefully I’ll stay here for a while 😄

The Scotty Test: Before proceeding past any failure, ask yourself: “Would Scotty walk past a warp core leak because it existed before his shift?”

found while perusing Gas Town’s prompts for the refinery, to steer agents to fixing things. yoinking that

autocorrect made ’teater’ (swedish, you can guess the word) into ’tester’ and somehow that seems correct for me, even if it was ’teater’ this time

heh, there’s a warning about gas town burning through tokens… this walk around shops in Karlstad is sponsored by the 2pm quota reset

how often I typo ‘gt’ to ‘git’? trending to 1

3D printer arrived, unboxed, assembled, calibrated, and currently huffing and puffing at plastic because they be moist. 12 hours until I get to hit print 😭

TIL: if DHL is sending two parcels from the same vendor, shipped at the same time, they might send it to two different places that are kilometers away from each other so you better make sure to set them to the same place. Relatedly, my new 3D printer has arrived, and at some point the filament will arrive at another distribution point

I hoped to be blazing new trails professionally and not because I was dropping the niece off at daycare after 10-20cm of snow (the wind drift makes it hard to estimate)

well, relearning not to run the kettle when just turning on the dishwasher also taught me that my NAS is on the same circuit, guess I should move it to be plugged in on another breaker before it breaks 😅

borrowed a full-sized Swedish keyboard for the new PC, and I swear, my fingers hurt. Contorting to hit special chars and stretching all over… Ordered a TKL (sans numpad) Keychron with ANSI/US layout and I’ll just figure out how to type Swedish in Windows as well as I do on my mac 😅 now… colemak?

also, very impressed by tailscale and how easy it makes creating my own “enterprise-like WAN” where all my machines can talk to each other. I set it up on the new machine and left it in the coworking space and it’s just accessible now that I’m home if inspiration strikes (work/life balance? pff 😉)

aw hell, switching to a dedicated windows machine cut my iteration time down drastically: browser e2e test went 5m -> 1m. virtualized OS + translation from my arm host to x64 because of old .NET seems to have been quite the culprit for slowness 😅
