🙄 too many black friday emails - unsubscribing left and right

😡 Just got a Black Friday email that made me VERY cross.

A curse for the bad-faith web developer:

"May all your domains accidentally expire without notice. May your database become inexplicably corrupt. And may all your backups not be restorable."

📝 Finally gave preshit.omg.lol a much-needed update.

I keep getting tempted to buy a mechanical keyboard for my Mac. But as soon as I start researching I get lost by the range of options. The only thing I know for sure is I don’t want full size. Basically decision paralysis.

😁 The sky.

Ok, I'm sorry, but I had to.

Content warning: Microsoft/Activision merger

I’ve been hoping they would block this deal. As a consumer it seems obvious too much power would be in one place if this deal goes through.

🧑‍🍳 Ready to make some food!

I’ve suddenly gotten less interested in Steam Deck. Apparently it doesn’t have true multi-user support, like a PlayStation, so if I was sharing it with the kids we couldn’t in general safely have our own save files. I guess this is similar to a Nintendo Switch in that regards but it’s built on Linux so I’d hoped for something better.

🚴 Riding

Really liked the clouds this morning only slightly marred by road construction.

I am tempted to get a Ender-3 S1 Pro 3D Printer which is currently on sale for a hefty discount. But I question if I have the patience, or any real need, for a 3D printer. Also not too keen on plastic-y things. I usually make pathetic attempts at wood-based construction.

🎥 Profoundly enjoying the fact that tumblr having retconned an entire Martin Scorcese film from 1973 into existence.

Trying to build a Mastodon filter to prevent World Cup spoilers. It's a bit tricky because so far the posts don't have a consistent word/emoji to filter on.

Well that iCloud sync solution didn't fix things after all. It's hung with nearly 6,000 files to go of 4GB. It's hung on something but there doesn't seem to be a way to find out what. Trying a few wild guesses then I guess it will be a nuclear option.

Syncing from my iMac using iCloud has been hung the past few days. Finally researched and found a solution on Apple’s developer site. The sync has started again but there’s a backlog 25GB to be sent. May be a good time to workout.🏋️
