I miss my mum. She's been dead a few years now, and was elderly and in poor health. And I am a grown up. But sometimes I just want to be able to lay down next to her again and feel safe. I really miss her.

I will be ok. Just needed to tell someone. And if I tell anyone here in my real world they will want to make it better or something and it can't be. It just is.

+1 for Fira Code

Yeah sounds like it was something similar. CloudFlare showed spikes in BGP announcements (the Border Gateway Protocol - basically how each network node knows it's neighbours and the route through that neighbourhood) when the system went down. So Optus stopped telling the world it existed and everything updated around it, shutting it out from the internet.

A little thing. I had a rest day today. Read my book. Watched some old tv. Felt sad but managed to get myself out for a walk. I am so terrified of slipping back into depression I struggle to rest. But I stopped and looked at my to-do list I made for the weekend and I did it all. And I rested.

Just wanted to write that down so I remember it's ok

oh wow! that's stunning.

Just watched this beautiful gentle interview with Tommy Tiernan. Was lovely to see her happy for a while. https://youtu.be/0G9YPvsG_c4

It feels friendly here. A little gentle corner. And I really appreciate the work y'all are doing to keep the instance up and running with all the recent influx

Big hugs. Dogs are the best people. It sounds like you did right by him and gave him a gentle send off. That's nice

it is slow social media

Yeah good point. Which is good. It just takes some getting used to.

This is the way.

Welcome aboard the good ship Tux 🐧

You got this. I have committed to myself to go and get a proper checkup and bloods in a couple of months (life is HECTIC at the moment)..and I am kinda dreading the cholesterol readings. Got heart disease in the fam and I am getting to that age. See ya back here for boot camp in November?

Oh wow. I love it! Great walk through too

I made the chana masala tonight. Was great

Thanks! Will do.

Code reviews, pull requests, sprint retros...these things exists because everyone makes mistakes like this.

Fuuck. Yeah I think that might be the beginning
