i post for attention and affection (youngest child thing): memes, tech rambles, newly acquired domain names, and short irreverent nonsense i think is funny

seattle based. single parent. self-unemployed after 20 years in big tech

created 1st mastodon account: 2022-12-22
found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the later)

i don’t use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

ask me about my banger domain names!

upgraded to the v0.22 RC of @gotosocial and pruned out some old statuses from the db:

timestamp="16/06/2026 10:22:00.539" func=cleaner.(*Status).LogPruneOldRemote level=INFO msg="start older than: May 19 2026 10:22:00"
timestamp="17/06/2026 01:41:59.998" func=cleaner.(*Status).LogPruneOldRemote level=INFO msg="pruned: 3015023"

Database size went from 7.4 GiB => 1.6 GiB
Number of statuses in DB went from 3,316,242 => 310,561

search seems a lot more responsive

it’s like when your mom finds a new meme and thinks it’s neat

(…. not me tho i’m a cool mom who gets it)

google search nonsense for the query “how much ram do you need to impress a hetzner girl”

the provided Al Overview:

To impress a "Hetzner girl" (or anyone in the sysadmin and hosting community), you don't need a single maxed-out stick of RAM—you need a whole Data Center.

Rather than counting gigabytes on a local rig, the ultimate flex in the server-hosting community is having robust, redundant infrastructure in the cloud. To properly set the mood, consider the following hosting setups:

• The "Just Friends" Tier (Cloud VPS): You can easily spin up a scalable Hetzner Cloud Instance starting with as little as 2 GB to 8 GB of RAM for basic web projects and small database …

seems legit, in for one

screenshot of an amazon product listing from the “qeanio Store”

Title: “WiFi Repeater Real Performance No Hype-Not for Gaming/4K- Slow 5GHz Overheat Disconnection Complicated Setup Light Signal-Basic Home Signal Booster-Budget Option A18”

the device pictured is asinine. It is a small plugin device - looks a bit smaller than a deck of cards. It has 4 lights and a total of 6 stubby antennas.

the device says “wifi repeater” and all the text is mirrored for some reason it’s so weird how did that even happen

it’s for sale at $9.99 with free delivery for Amazon Prime members

All Neocities sites are down because Namecheap locked the domain without warning... and with that, taken down a huge part of the indieweb.

Don't use Namecheap, and if you do it's easy to move.

Namecheap's customer service is awful and they are much more expensive than alternatives. Now is the time to leave. or later maybe after you've had a snack is fine, too.

local puppygirls devastated

a picture of a street sign with red print on a white background. it originally said “no parking” and has space labeled to and from for dates

the sign has been vandalized to say “no barking”. honestly well done vandalism it looks pretty authentic to the original print on the sign

the gmail iphone app no longer fits on a single CD-ROM

time to break out the Zip drives

A screenshot of the Apple App Store page for the official "Gmail - Email by Google app". It promises secure, fast, and organized email for FREE (with in-app purchases).

Below that are several info boxes:

Age rating: 4+

(a CD-ROM could, stretched to limits, hold approximately 700 MB)

my new religion just dropped and here's My first mortal sin: if I click on a tracking number in a "your order shipped" email and that sends me to your login page? straight to hell for eternity. it's legal to murder you now even.
