Year #2022 ending accordingly to how the year has gone; got a positive COVID test and surviving under my blanket over the new year.

I for one can't wait to get 2022 over and done with and move on to 2023. The bar for next year is set pretty low after 21 and 22.

Happy new year everyone 🤣

What happens when you fire your engineers?

Well this.

The GDPR fines of the leaked data I hope will be the tipping point of taking Twitter offline once and for all. Get your data archive while you still can.

What does a day of fever and flu do to your stress levels? That is right, the same thing as a poorly written pull request without tests.

Got to raise my virtual hat to the Spaniards;

If a bank holiday happens on a Sunday then Monday is off - because why would you want to loose a perfectly fine day off to a weekend.

Love it 😂

@java_discussions why would you need this? What is the point of having a middleware between react and spring boot, it just adds complexity...

@hittitezombie @Edent Yes, totally agree, it ain't easy. Setting up and maintaining SPF, DMARK, DKIM etc.isn't for everyone for sure.

But the major problem these days are the black/whitelisting of email servers done by the major players like Microsoft and Google. They essentially control the email space now.

I don't know how many times I've gone through their whitelisting process just because I have a small email server. It is ridiculous, email has essentially become a monopoly now.

@Edent

> Even if you're a digital extremist and have your own domain name, you almost certainly don't run your own email server.

I have been running my own email server for decades. I feel hit by this statement and I am certainly not a digital extremist (but just rather old) 😏

Finally managed to convert my personal website to become fully federated.

Used these platforms:

Mastodon - Micro blog
Pixelfed - Photo based blog
Writefreely - Text based blog

All inter-connected so you will see links to them appearing here on my main Mastodon account as boosted toots.

Oh my how the Fediverse tools have grown since I last checked them out 10 years ago or so. Properly impressed by this I am.

Top 3 foods I miss from Finland which is hard to find here in Spain:

1) Rye bread (a total cliché but there you go)

2) Mustard (There is only one correct one, and it spells Turku on the label)

3) Citrus-pepper and pink pepper (yes you can mix pepper with squeezed citrus, but it ain't the same thing)

Downloaded my archive with 13 years of tweets.

And oh my, this time-back machine is awesome! Twitter was such a fun place to be back then!

Hoping will turn out to be that place again 🤞
