My seat for the exam was the second one from behind next to the window.

Let’s see if I got the protag buff in a few months time. 🤣

I think it’s time to put this foolish ambition to rest.

Every time I thought I got things working, there seems to be another hill I need to push this Podman in Windows boulder up against.

This was inevitable. I solemnly believe that if you don’t pay, then you are the product.

So it seems that one has to proxy the port to the WSL machine and also open up the port in the firewall before one can access a container’s port in Windows via another device on the same network.

Oh Windows…

I feel like the digital billboard / digital out of home (DOOH) situation is getting out of hand in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor.

According to Laguna Media, there are 20 screens along LDP.

I have concerns that the billboards are distracting drivers.

‘When we internalize the belief that nothing can change, we stop demanding change.’

‘Not because I expect immediate consequences, but because documenting the truth will matter later even if it doesn’t seem to matter now.’

It matters. I care.
When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't…

Spent the day trying to get the TinyTDS gem to connect to a MS SQL Server. Turns out I have to use a lower TDS version. (This is due to an older MS SQL, don’t try this at home)

The gem dropped support for TDS versions lower than 7.3 since 3.0. Use 2.1.7 if you want to use lower TDS versions.

If like me you are interested in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and have no means to play it anytime soon and want to remain spoiler free while wanting to enjoy some of the game’s music, this is the first song that plays when the game starts.

The only way to avoid game spoilers is to play it on day one.

Accidentally saw one of the song names for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I guess that means something happens to a character huh?

My “Old man yells at Microsoft Edge” moment.

Unlike Google Chrome which kiosk mode dismisses print dialogs, Microsoft Edge’s kiosk mode has slightly different behaviour and does not dismiss print dialog. 😅
