@yatil I'm on day 3 and not feeling quite as awful as the last two days 🤞

I don't know if the tea I make when ill does any good, but I don't care. The ritual is soothing and the tingles feel medicinal.

- ginger (fresh, chopped)

- garlic (raw, chopped)

@yatil I also got a flu jab alongside the COVID one (one in each arm, wasn't a fun night's sleep after that), but maybe it wasn't the same strain or something. I hear it's a roulette wheel every year which strain will be the one.

Welp, that explains it.

I had already tested with a COVID test and got a negative, then saw that our local drugstore had these multi-tests, and asked hubs to pick one up.

@andycarolan ha! But I'm sure you've come across websites that make you tick a box to confirm that you're human, before entering? That thing. Cloudflare runs lots of those.

@andycarolan every time I have a bad cold I'm like, maybe it's 'flu - and then along comes something like this and I'm like "ah no, *this* is 'flu!"

@andycarolan not really, but I've got a sick note now until the end of the week, so hopefully soon. Loving the fever-rollercoaster and headaches (not).

@andycarolan possibly part of the cloudflare issue is because people are using their anti-bot layer before their sites. As such it's a consequence of rampant AI scraping.

@andycarolan honestly though, I think if the world slides into war again, these hugedata centers are going to be a major target...

@MoritzGlantz I had such a lovely iGoogle start page with tiles which showed the 3 latest posts from my favourite blogs, and several webcomics, all powered by RSS.

@MoritzGlantz iGoogle drew us in, then it went away, then Google reader too, just as social media exploded
