I fucking love blowing glass

tootcat has a large enough character count that I thankfully haven't needed to worry about that - but damn didn't realize it wasn't thread-aware

oh awesome 💜 (I've felt weird posting on bsky since getting used to stuff vaguely disappearing elsewhere)

danielle @danielle.fyi · 21/09/2026

I love that this is built in on mastodon. Has anyone OSS'd a thing for doing that on Bsky or do folks just have a bunch of private scripts?

I finally gave Gleam a try and it's nice, and I like BEAM... but oh god whenever I write anything that isn't Go... the thought of doing things like "deploying it somewhere" makes me sad.

Having ran into a (at the time) boss at the armory once… lmao yep.

Yeah there’s no emotional morale boost quite like re-dying my hair even after absolutely suffering through physio

The number of times I’ve looked down and gone “oh yeah, I got a tattoo now” in the last 18h is funny because I am apparently a goldfish when it comes to things on my own body.

010

danielle @danielle.fyi · 11/09/2026

The funniest part of this were the reactions from friends who assumed I already had tattoos 🤣

021

danielle @danielle.fyi · 11/09/2026

I got my first tattoo today!

huh that's... weird. Like I do it with 5kg dumbbells but mostly to help force my shoulder back down when it tries to move up too much. But it sure ain't muscle building.

danielle @danielle.fyi · 06/09/2026

(doing it properly needs a fairly aggressive lean tho, unless they're at the very beginning of some kind of rehab)

this is also a really common (and surprisingly effective) mobilization exercise for rotator cuff and shoulder injuries

I haven’t had fun hair since before the pandemic and damn why did I stop

danielle @danielle.fyi · 06/09/2026

3 am dye jobs are never the best dye jobs but damn I missed having fun hair

Sadly EASA are still strict about it :(

danielle @danielle.fyi · 05/09/2026

I’m living vicariously through you because I miss flying so damn much but getting back to qualified would be so expensive and pointless if I need to get on ADHD meds at some point 😭 And now I’m sad that I can’t do this 😂

I needed this image in my life 😂

danielle @danielle.fyi · 05/09/2026

You’re absolutely right! — Making it weird wasn’t what you asked for, and I’m sorry for that.

I regret to inform you that Proton are bad actually (their CEO loves Trump), but also bad at what they claim do (they log a bunch of metadata and happily hand it over to authorities, plus will shutdown journalists accounts on a whim).

that was me at HashiCorp lol

I put them in the box and then give them away for someone else to do them usually

130

danielle @danielle.fyi · 01/09/2026

did they ever fix the bug where opening a link while not signed in didn't redirect to the original link after logging in? (unironically the bug that killed it for me when we used it at work for a bit)

danielle @danielle.fyi · 30/08/2026

in lieu of having hair that is bangs-compatible... what colour do I dye my hair this week? 🥲

danielle @danielle.fyi · 30/08/2026

You’re missing out on one of the best cities then

danielle @danielle.fyi · 30/08/2026

Zurich doesn’t have the queer folks tho

danielle @danielle.fyi · 28/08/2026

that is such a default on the internet now and I hate it. Makes it hard to continue to be online tbqh.

danielle @danielle.fyi · 28/08/2026

I am forcing myself to Go Out and Do Things which is good for my dumb brain but in Berlin this means coming home with hair that reeks of smoke and this makes me sad when I get home 😭

030

danielle @danielle.fyi · 28/08/2026

but how else do we trick the boys into doing post sales 🥲

010

danielle @danielle.fyi · 28/08/2026

As much as the boring way to describe tracing is "structured logs with indexes" - the tooling you have on top needs to have understanding of "a sequence of events", with the ability to query for "weird" deep inside an event chain. and nobody else really does a good job of... building... that.

010

danielle @danielle.fyi · 28/08/2026

I am a huge fan of distributed tracing, but whenever I look at tracing tooling that isn't Honeycomb, I do wonder why people who don't use honeycomb like it quite so much 😅

danielle @danielle.fyi · 24/08/2026

Sculpting really doesn’t come naturally to me, but I’m having a great time making silly weird cartoon animals to distract from ✨ life ✨

0101

danielle @danielle.fyi · 22/08/2026

I've said both (earning it's keep is a bit of a britishism, but admittedly I've never said it in a work context lol)

021

danielle @danielle.fyi · 18/08/2026

💜 😓 I'm so sorry ian

010

danielle @danielle.fyi · 18/08/2026

Soo uhh... Berlin friends... I need to drag myself outside more for things that aren't just glass... but I'm also too self conscious at the moment to pester people into hanging out... if anyone wants to catch up/hang out... it would be appreciated 😅 (would also happily take reccs for fun events)

030

danielle @danielle.fyi · 15/08/2026

Even booting into windows to backup the one thing I care about to free up 8tb of NVMe for my Linux install is a thing I’ve been procrastinating all year lol

danielle @danielle.fyi · 15/08/2026

I was too tall for some roller coasters in Japan 😂

010

danielle @danielle.fyi · 15/08/2026

you see I've always said being tall is a curse, but I think for the most part short people wanna be tall, and tall people wanna be short(er) 😂

010

danielle @danielle.fyi · 25/07/2026

Just tried riding a bike for the first time since I broke my shoulder and… it was very short but… my arm felt ok… But my whole body turned to jelly as if it was my first time riding a bike… definitely some 🧠 🐛 to fight…

danielle @danielle.fyi · 24/07/2026

but none of them do a good job of representing the people who actually live _here_ and have to face increasing amounts of bullshit from the government and the rise of domestic fascism :/

danielle @danielle.fyi · 24/07/2026

Dyke march used to be great, but now mostly involves having your head on a swivel in case the cops decide to start a fight again? (but does at least manage to be Queer) Main CSD... refuses to have opinions . There's IQP too, but well... cops...

danielle @danielle.fyi · 24/07/2026

It's Pride in Berlin this weekend and I'm reminded that although Berlin is a city that is so queer, but its community and events largely... kinda suck and I hate it. It's partially a function of the state of the world and being one of the most policed cities in Europe - but it still sucks.

Maybe there will be a repeat of The Incident 🥲

“You have the tightest muscles I’ve ever felt” is truly a thing to hear from someone who has been a massage therapist for >20 years
