En centrum-venstreregering præsenteret på selveste 1. maj vil vel være en drøm for Mette F - hvis ikke det liiiige er fordi Store Bededag falder på selvsamme dag. Oh the irony… #dkpol

Recently I’ve spent some great time as a movie extra and as someone who has never done any kind of acting before I must say - I am having the time of my life 🥳 Too late for a career change?

Any super smart #php folks here know how to mock built-in functions like ‘glob’? I know I could wrap calls to it in a class that I could mock, but I hate adding code just for a test. Please boost!

I know I am being tracked with everything I do online. But getting all my personal data from Amazon and seeing a complete list of my Audible playbacks since 2015, down to the millisecond, is still quite an eye opener. More than 5000 entries in that list alone.

SÅ bør diskussionen om hvorvidt vi skal have smidt alle amerikanske tech virksomheder ud af al offentlig og privat IT infrastruktur være lukket! Lyt blot til Bill Gates her… Nu bør det kun være et spørgsmål om det kan ske i dag eller i morgen…! #dkpol #dkmedier

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I wish my inbox would be more like a RSS reader. At least for newsletters, updates and all the generics I receive. I would love to have it all sorted by context, so I could just open up my "current hobby" folder when I needed or wanted it. Sure I can do with folders, but that's not nerdy enough

In the process of leaving US tech companies for alternatives, time has come for me to move the rest of my own and clients domains off of Cloudflare. Is Cloudflare the best DNS provider globally? Probably. Do I care? Absolutely not.

I feel equally old and proud today. In todays municipal election, my 22 year old son is on the ballot for the first time as a candidate to the city council. We have been helping his campaign for the last month or so - and keep our fingers crossed today.

In total, I have around 180 Gb of data in cloud storage (OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox combined). Some of it duplicated and most of it old and redundant. There is no way I am so important that I can justify that amount of data. Need a more minimalistic and sustainable setup #minimalism

I have realized how much I dislike cloud services like OneDrive and Google Drive. So much old stuff lying around that it's ridicolous. I have spent the weekend setting up a new directory system locally, based on the PARA system. Next step is remove OneDrive, even though I am on a Windows machine.

I have wanted to write fiction for years, but never had the time or focus to do so. Wrote when I was young, but then life happened.. Right now I find myself in a situation with a lot of time on hand - and suddenly the inspiration came flowing yesterday with 2000 words and a story to build on.

To prepare for annexation, the Musk-Trump regime in the United States will attempt to recruit local traitors in Greenland and Canada. They’ll do this the way the Putin regime recruited Sergey “the Goblin” Aksyonov and others before Russia invaded Crimea, Ukraine, in 2014.

Need recommendations and ideas for setting up a NAS at home. Mainly to store personal documents, photos from the entire families phones and ongoing backups. What should I go for? Synology or qnap? Any reason to go for 4 slots in stead of just 2?

Are there any European alternatives to Google Drive/OneDrive or should I just find money for a NAS at home?

Just realized I can use Laravel Prompts in my seeders, so a php artisan db:seed could ask for amounts and even which seeders to run. Don't know when I'd use it, but still kinda cool

Too much hate on the internet these days. So let me just say that I "do not like" working with XML files. And why does a vendor only provide a product feed as XML when their entire website use a full blown api that could easily be made available for affiliates?
