I've been wondering about the new everything page the past few days. Specifically whether having all post types interleaved is a good reading experience. I'm starting to think that perhaps having the links somewhere seperate might be a better idea.

The problem is that there are so many of them and they are often completely unrelated to the notes and blog posts content. That might be a bit distracting. Also sometimes it's nice just to browse the links without being distracted by the notes and blog posts. It might be that a special links section at the bottom of each day might be a better way to lay things out.

On the other hand I wonder whether that could be done using just CSS. That would make the display toggleable. Just a few thoughts while I'm waiting for my Github build minutes to reset. #

From the most recent Ship It podcast episode, when it comes to infrastructure, Meta is a very on-prem company, they literally have at this point millions of seperate machines running. Also interesting is that for servers they use CentOS, and for Desktop a mixture of Fedora, Windows and OSX. #

Rainy season is in full swing. It's horrible. Yesterday afternoon was torrential rain for hours, right into the early evening. Luckily I managed to get a hot instant noodle soup, without which I honestly think some form of hypothermia might have kicked in. This was all to the amussement of the shop staff.

The world is being particularly cruel and mean at the minute. The only help I got was two tiny child sized cartons of milk at around 2am from a passer by. That was followed up predictably by motorbike gang stalker harrassment. I've hardly eatten anything the past 3 days, so my body is really low on energy. #
