Shit sleep last night. Can’t think of anything to do for our wedding anniversary next week. I’ve had two shits already which is unheard of. It’s fucking hot. I will survive.
I had a long second sleep, musta been tired.
I just signed up to Proton Mail & am changing over my email, calendar, setting up the VPN and migrating all my stuff to their cloud server. I’ve only just started the process and I’m exhausted already. I haven’t even looked at the password manager yet to decide if I want to change to that or not. But storing my digital life in Switzerland instead of USA seems like a very good idea at the moment.
I have one I’m afraid to contaminate with data leaks so I literally use it for nothing. No, I don’t follow the logic either.
Google seems to be becoming a worse company, migrating away looks like a good idea.
Yeah, I’ve been contemplating it for a while, it’s just taken the recent issues in US to give me enough push to actually act.
this makes me so sad
I’m in the process of the same thing.
proton and mastodon.
might move my gmail , not that i use it much
I’m still using tor a lot and had my exit node set to usa ( I pasted in some code ) but I might start using proton vpn and try for yerp
Lemmy is nice but hardly secure .
I have multiple emails I use. Being able to use alias emails will be useful, and I’ll also be able to set up email using my own domain name through Proton - which means I can move them ito another company in the future if I decide Proton’s not the best option anymore. It also means I can set up lots of emails along the lines of companyname@myname.website, and have a seperate address for each of the major companies I deal with (like banks and insurance companies) to create another difference so that data matching won’t expose as much information. I’d looked at doing this using the company that hosts my website, but their interface did not work well for emails and it’s not very secure.
I’ve got proton mail and I love the security of it. Haven’t looked at the other parts of it yet tho, just the mail.
I’m surprised cookie monster is there. Surely Vicpol with their extremely sound judgement chucked him in the drunk tank, then refused to do a blood test, fail to communicate the charge, then didn’t offer him 2 phone calls and just chucked him out on the street at 4am on a monday with no way home except for an 8km walk. (It was a while ago but I’m still bitter).
He doesn’t know where he is. He’s high as hoeing down cookies. He wouldn’t remember his age let alone a phone number.
I’m sure Oscar got good reason
He lives on the street, he knows what’s up.
It appears Gibson won’t go to bed tonight unless I go to bed. There go my big plans for video games…
Goodnight all ❤️
Happy Labour Day!
One discombobulated Boyo is back home after discovering halfway into work that they’ve given everyone the day off.
Working the public holiday is bad enough, but whyyy did our central engineering team have to throw a spanner in the works and break stuff to ‘keep things interesting’ and make today extra-not-cruisy?!? 🤬
So hot outside. Could be worse, could be humid. 12 more new records to go… then I just need to redo 16 more completely and I’m almost done. The rest only need remeasuring with a tape measure… which is more about driving around to do the bastard things real quick. I could do some while I’m out here and traffic is chill. Leave about 70 to update with more precision on some cooler weather day. The end is in sight for this side of town!
Coming back from beechworth, we all had a great time. The boys got to pat lizards and feed frogs. There were animals grazing around the grounds and they got to watch a crocodile be fed.
To top it all off, they use a product work sells that lines up perfectly with an upcoming product launch. I asked if I could use them as a case study and they said yes, so I could retroactively spin this as a work trip
Definitely a work trip, and the boys were the quality testing team
Address changing underway, along with resetting passwords for a zillion customer portals I’ve not logged into since last move and have inevitably forgotten. Blargh.
a cockroach thought im food
How did that go for the cockroach?
It shall go no more
You are bacon
that is true
Yuck. Who broke the weather?
So many days of hot weather! 😭😭 This is SHIT!
Remind me to bring my sunscreen today lol
Only three days to go until the cool change!
Kill me now
smh gods these days…
it’s not really that hot, just mildly hot, hot is mid 40s, but the number of days at this temp is not nice
Not pictured: human in same position
Happy Second Sunday!
the little strawberry yoghurt ice pops were delicious, I chose very very red small straws for a strong flavour
I don’t feel guilty eating these either 🙂
Fun fact - the old English word for strawberry is streawberige, etymology is light on this but it could have the same etymology as straw, as in, it is strewn (literally “that which is scattered or strewn”), based on how strawberry plants grow across the ground. Related to Proto-Indo European *stere meaning “to spread”.
Literally “strewn-upon-the-ground berry”.
when I lived in Europe sometimes species wild strawberries would appear in my garden beds, such tiny little berries, very little taste but they edible, they are very pretty and the robins love them
I read somewhere the strawberries we cultivate and eat are native to America
