painstakingly using (self-hosted) @gitlab.com's dependency proxy everywhere didn't help either. quite disappointing actually since it's supposed to work apparently? 🤷🏼 😠 see pic & gitlab.com/gitlab-org/g...

🌰🪲 found a creepy crawler inside a hollow hazelnut from the garden. it's a nut weevil larva (hazelnootboorder, curculio nucum). the adult version has an impressive snout almost as long as its legs, used as a drill (pic: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curculi...). luckily only few nuts were affected 😅

vond het eigenlijk niet zo'n best artikel. code schrijven lijkt moeilijk voor leken, maar de moeilijkheid zit in ontwerp, onderhoud, veiligheid, performance, etc. overigens is de css. in die foto-overlay nogal obsolete sinds 2017 css grid ofzo 😜

absolutely love this new orchestral #jazz #🎶 album. at times it reminds me a bit of the snarky puppy + metropole sound (same label, ground up records): fabia mantwill orchestra - in.sight orcd.co/fmo-insight

the library in the hague has a bunch of books 📚 on display that are banned in (parts of) murikkka. these modern book burnings are nothing but fascist tactics to erase history and culture, b/c these are all perfectly normal books

ok google, bien hecho 🙄. the search results for ‘lodash-es’ unexpectedly turn up in spanish 🤦 (‘es’ means ecmascript/javascript here – it has nothing to do with español)

nice, new solo piano 🎹 album ‘lumen’ by @billlaurance.bsky.social comes out later this year. here's a still from the (not yet publicly available 😎) video clip for the track ‘sera’. two hands, two pianos, actually makes sense if you think of it 🙃 #🎶 pre-save at save-it.cc/act/sera

the real tough choice is whether to use edge-notched, uniterm, or peek-a-boo cards. luckily i have a book from 1967 to help me decide what would work best for me

a ship 🚢 blocking wifi for many people… made me think it's just sloppy writing (wifi cable anyone? 🤦🏼) and that the ship must have cut an undersea cable and that broke the internet… but nope, it was actually wifi interference over a large distance! 📶 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
