Humans are born to be artists, scientists, artisans, and philosophers. Children love nothing more than creative expression, learning to understand things, making things with their hands, and asking deep questions.

But society teaches us not to do these things, training us instead to be “productive”. We’re sculpted to fit into a world obsessed with jobs, money, and ownership, and we’re forced to give up the most important parts of ourselves in order to do so – our creativity, and our curiosity.

Sometimes when surfing through my timeline I read people telling their tales, their adventures and their hopes and dreams.

Occasionally something really stands out. I usually don't recommend people or shout out to someone specific but the story about @TQ giving her art out on the street, hanging it at places for anyone to (hopefully) pick it up and enjoy it made me so happy inside and so damn proud of her. I don't know why but I just felt this.

So there. Now you know. <3

Why we moved our servers to Iceland

In the last few months, we moved our servers gradually to Iceland. In this blog post, I’d like to explain how we’ve achieved that, and most importantly, why. It wasn’t an easy process and I would like to share our learnings. There are some technical parts in this article which I’ve tried to write in an understandable way, but forgive me if it’s too technical.

There's a youtube show that is kind of fun to watch called 'hot ones'.
The person interviews various celebs as they chew their way through increasingly hot chicken wings (or vegan substitute).
Usually ppl power through it to even 2mm schovilles of hot.
He had that mean english chef on who didn't finish.
I was like dude no! Don't rub your eyes. He rubbed his eyes.
He went to the toilet. Don't touch your dick... he touched his dick.
What an idiot.

Canada: Ex-minister releases secret Trudeau recording

On the tape, Wernick told Wilson-Raybould that the prime minister "is determined, quite firm," in avoiding criminal prosecution of "a signature Canadian firm" that could threaten thousands of jobs.

"The PM wants to be able to say that he has tried everything he can within a legitimate toolbox to try to head that off," he said. "He is quite determined."

I'm not going to pick a video for you, but I've been watching Joey Diaz on 'This is not happening' vids.
Yeah, he's funny, obviously, but the stories are so poignant I'm like how are you not crying telling these stories when I'm crying listening to them? Damn.

Short, and sweet.

Just waiting to pounce.

My best mate doesn't get up until 09h00 every day, but he's consistent.

The other day we had tacos.

Therefore I KNOW the ingredients for huevos rancheros are kicking around there and he Always has plenty of home-made salsa verde :-)

I'm just waiting... tick... tick... tick...

the super cool thing about computers is that they can transform and filter data efficiently and I think it's a shame when the immense resources poured into their creation is wasted on providing companies a platform where they fight to pull users into their walled garden and/or enslave their attention to generate ad revenue.

Made someone laugh and that makes me happy! :-)

There was recently a lot of news about DNS over HTTPS. Some people say it's bad for privacy because it centralizes the DNS requests on Google, Cloudflare and Quad9.

Time to change that and run your own DNS over HTTPS server. I spend some time today in writing, documenting and arranging a small container setup to allow you to do this:

#DNSoverHTTPS #DoH #Docker #privacy #infosec #selfHosting #DNS

Well. Off to work I guess.
Life could be much, much worse.
