I love that this is the song that just happened to start playing as soon as Codex started working on my Varnish server.
The filter I rigged up for my Mac studio a couple years ago has been working nicely.
The injured sycamore survived and is doing well. I'm kind of surprised with it having nearly been ringed by a rabbit with only a little strip of bark left to bridge it. Those edges are rolling in to compartmentalize it faster than I expected.
I swear the "suggested threads" clickbait on Instagram to try to get you to install Threads just keeps escalating.
This is why my wife always regrets asking what the books I'm reading are about.
Having Codex help me optimize my reverse proxy by analyzing the logs over a period of days and then tweaking varnish and fail2ban has dramatically cut my backend resource usage. I love that it can give me info like this no problem:
We used to have to do that at my grandparents place in WV before they got plumbing in the, iirc, very early 90s. I don't have a pic of the inside, but it was just around 20 ft hand dug and rock lined and we'd lower the bucket down and then set it on the table with a ladle for drinking.
The driving goal of this project is to be able to better deal with this old silver maple, but having access to the backyard will make so many other things more easily doable whether it's replacing the deck or getting a robot lawnmower.
For the first time I'm able to just walk the mower between yards without having to drag it up the steps. There is another little gate on the other side but it's barely as wide as the mower and full of giant tree roots.
Not bad for a few hours of work. My neighbor offered to help cut it up if I rented a concrete saw, but I felt like the wall was challenging me personally.
Who do we invade when the endless soup, salad, and bread sticks are threatened?
Her: What in the world were you doing at 4am? Me: Sure as hell not eating a giant bowl of spaghetti.
Well. Shit. The vibrations cause it to sink right into the sandstone but then it's impossible to get out.
