Sitting at the cemetery with my wife, chatting, listening to the birds and looking at the Merlin app. #birds

I think the kids are trying to tell us something car-related.

What I find mildly disconcerting about Let’s Encrypt reminder emails is that whenever I add a new subdomain to a site, this counts as a “new” certificate and so their system sees that the “old” certificate (the one with less subdomains) isn’t being renewed and so they send me an alert about that weeks or months later.

Apricot dumpling season start! These apricots are way too early so it will only get better. 😍

A few weeks ago we saw that the Sanseveria was going to flower again. The first picture there was taken back the , the second one just now. Already there’s sugar water all over them. There are four flower stalks growing ever so slowly. 😍

capitalism, hosting, branding, negative

The feeling when you get a mail from your hosting provider in marketing speak. “We wanted to inform you of an important update that is happening at … . As part of our continuous improvement and effort to enhance our services we were transitioning to a new brand and now to a new legal entity. … This change marks an essential milestone in our strategic growth plan enabling us better alignment with our brand identity and vision for the future.”
And then you notice that they are no longer a limited based in Austria but in Cyprus. I bet it’s good for taxes, too.

Yesterday we went walking in Karlsruhe and we saw a very nice dragonfly. It’s a “flat belly” in German and was “insect of the year 2001” in Germany. I didn’t know such things existed. 😅 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libellula_depressa

I’m on the train to Germany and will lose connectivity, soon. Then it’ll be time to work on net news again, and maybe write some posts. The local server will deliver them when I’m back online. I love that part.

I just a small ad at the train station. Apparently Sebastião Salgado has a new exhibition? And indeed: there’s a new Taschen book: https://www.taschen.com/en/books/photography/05368/sebastiao-salgado-amazonia/
Those black and white photos of landscapes, rain clouds, people. 😍
