Very odd.

That’s a weird croissant with eyes.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 2 weeks ago:
I can’t rant against librarians. My friend has been a librarian for many years and she has put up with a hell of a lot of crap from people. So be kind, be patient and be honest with them.
Obviously not all librarians, like any job, are perfect.
- Comment on Comparison: Coop Cloud, Yunohost, similar platforms 1 month ago:
I don’t think YunoHost uses containers, at least it didn’t the last time I used it. It installs applications natively.
The best part about using containers for self hosting is that you don’t have to locally install dependencies for anything you want to run; they’re all inside the container. So if something doesn’t work, blow away the container and any data it created. Uninstalling a locally installed app can be a pain as you’re left with all the installed dependencies and any configuration that may not have been removed.
Another benefit of containers is that it’s generally easy to update an app to a new version by downloading and running a newer version of the container and maybe running a migration command. Updating a locally installed app means installing newer versions of dependencies before running any migrations.
The upshot is that I personally find containers easier and cleaner to deal with than locally installed apps.

Food delivery (e.g. Uber) vehicles that park in disabled parking spots make me so angry.
- Comment on Netflix is reportedly exploring adding in-game ads to its gaming service 4 months ago:
The Enshittification continues! I have no interest in playing games on Netflix so they won’t get ad revenue from me.
- Comment on The Perfect Webpage: How the internet reshaped itself around Google’s search algorithms — and into a world where websites look the same. 4 months ago:
This whole SEO business disgusts me. It’s destroyed the web, meaning the content is no longer as important as the stuff you do to make Google suggest your site. I try to restrict myself to sites I know well, ones whose content I trust. Yay web! Not.

They have to claw back the money they gave to their CEO when he “retired”.
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 5 months ago:
Early 50s here and no, absolutely not. I still feel like I’m an immature teen inside my head, wondering what the hell happened.
- Comment on Air Canada changed my flight for the 3rd time, I'm now landing in Toronto 1 hour AFTER my next flight departure. 8 months ago:
I’ve been trying to get compensation from AC for over a month for a suitcase that was lost for our whole trip. No one will reply. I’ll have to open a report with CTA.
