I signed up for a Hetzner account because they've got cheap web hosting, claim to use renewable energy, and seem to have a pretty good standing with web people.
To sign up with them you need to provide:
Then the account was flagged as high-risk, because obviously, so they also needed:
I get the need for a web-hosting company to want to screen its clientele, but that was invasive as fuck.
I've got an account now, but I'm second-guessing actually committing to using their services. I'll wait for the urine sample to clear before I make the final decision.

Goblin number three is Wegge!
This bastard hangs out around table saws and waits for people to push at just the right angle, then wedges himself in there so the wood binds and kicks back directly at you at deadly speeds.
Always ensure your wood is firmly against the fence, and that the fence is parallel to the blade, and use guards and push-sticks when possible. Wegge is always waiting!

My little personal blog is currently hosted on a little raspberry pi. The contents live on GitHub, the deploy runs automatically on push, and I use Cloudflare Tunnels to auto host it.
It's been working great, but I woke up today feeling an incredible amount of 'ick'. I don't want to spend time thinking about security, but I do want to move.
I think maybe it's time to change to a more basic setup with a remote VPS that doesn't involve any tech giants.
Anybody have recommendations for their favorite cheap hosts?

Bonus ThikBit sticker free for use!
Use it as a reply when you find ai-generated pixel works pretending to be hand-made in order to warn others!
(Or make it into a real sticker and stick it, idk)

Second goblin of the week!
ThikBit is a fairly young gob with an important job.
She scours the internet for ai-generated pixelart that's being passed as hand-pixeled -- a federal crime in 400+ countries and every fey court!
When she finds some, she uses her pixaxe to change the sizes of some of the pixels, making it more obvious.
Keep up the good work, ThikBit!

My partner ordered a whole box of pomegranates and I've just emptied two whole fruits into a big bowl of arils.
Fuck private jets or owning more than 2 pairs of jeans, this is the pinnacle of luxury.

First goblin week goblin: this is Whyff
Whyff has a bottle of stank and torments people by making their farts smell way worse than reasonable.
Whenever you've got unexplainable room-clearing gas, blame this asshole.

Was cleaning my office space this morning and thought I'd try to make my own music for cleaning.
Still don't know what I'm doing with #bespokesynth so I tried to replicate a portion of what I saw in this video:
https://youtu.be/N_OeDNIkUR4?si=seXlYyrUzklWd41C
I only captured a small portion of it, but figured out how to do some stuff.
So here's my morning's cleaning jam, on looping endlessly until I finish cleaning or go mad.

My research is complete! I am here to inform fedi that #goblinweek 2025 starts THIS SUNDAY, JAN 19 - 25 (based on historical goblin weeks)
All you need to do to participate is make goblins! Draw them, paint them, make them out of paper or clay or mud! Steal your kids' artwork! Shave your cat! Goblins in all formats are respected on this magical and mischievous week (and only this week; don't want to let it get to their heads)
So cancel all your other plans, put on your holiest socks, subscribe to the #goblinweek hashtag, and hopefully enjoy a week full of goblin nonsense.
[Note: I do not in any way officially represent goblinkind, or official goblinweek events. I'm just uncharacteristically invested in this whole goblin week thing]
Spamming some hashtags for reach to encourage maximum gob across the fediverse in the coming week:

I've been a full-time developer for over 10 years, and blindly copy-pasting shell commands from the internet is still my go-to mechanism for solving new problems 💪
To this day I still don't know a single character of awk or sed syntax, and I'd like to thank the community for letting me keep it that way.

A fedi person revealed to me #BespokeSynth today.
I only played with it for like 20 minutes, have no idea how to do synth stuff, and honestly couldn't make it do much more than play some drums and notes...
The connection lines wiggle when there's audio going through them! There's a scribbly background visualisation!
Ack I'm in love, but one more thing to learn.

Amazing what music can do to your ability to keep pushing through a workout.
I recall that in my previous (fit, long ago) incarnation I'd do a solid hour of cardio daily, and every day I'd start it with the Super Hexagon soundtrack. It's just 3 songs, and it ramps up the pace of each song with a nice reprieve / slowdown just past the halfway point of song 3.
Today's struggle:
Pushups (knee) 10rep, 3set [hard]
Mountain Climbs 20rep, 3set [hard]
Bicycle Kicks 30rep, 3set [med]
Plank 30sec, 3set [hard]
Squat 20rep, 3set [med]
20 minutes on row

I've been #blogging since 2022, and while I don't think I've posted very much actually worth reading, I have found maintaining the blog super rewarding.
Like a little garden I can tend to when I want, and also somewhere I can slowly accumulate and maintain a completely customized online presence that represents me.
It's also helped me organize my thoughts on the things I read or play, which makes talking about them with real people easier and encourages me to think a little harder about the content I consume. (I do admit, however, that most of my thoughts and reviews arent particularly deep lol)

I hate working out.
I hate how it feels, and I hate how I feel.
I hate sweating and stinking and counting the reps and watching the set timer count down.
I hate knowing how much more there is to go, in the current workout and in my overall goals.
But in the words that I'm sure came from somewhere: "fuck it, we ball"
Pushups (knee) 10rep, 3set [fail]
Mountain Climbs 20rep, 3set [fail]
Bicycle Kicks 20rep, 3set [med]
Plank 30sec, 3set [hard]
Squat 20rep, 3set [med]
Donno if this will inspire anybody else, but maybe it'll inspire me to keep it up.
