After looking into it, the adaptation is loyal to the original version. The one to blame for this is Bram Stoker :P

Beautiful adaptation of the classical from Bram Stoker. The only complaint I have is that van Helsing spoke German instead of Dutch. bookwyrm.social/user/threkk/...

I am reading a comic adaptation of Dracula and Dr. van Helsing, from Amsterdam, speaks German instead of Dutch 😢

I don't know how buy my monitor has died: no matter what, it doesn't turn on :( It wasn't even have two years old. Now is up to Coolblue to figure out what is wrong with it... if I can find a box big enough to send it.

So far I had the train cancelled due to construction, multiple buses with multiple delays, and now a delayed flight. I just want to go home 😭

NodeConf is over. Now I just need to figure out how to get to the airport tomorrow without the monorail running and a strike.

booking.com just cut compute costs on their biggest Node.js service by 38%. No new hardware. No code changes in the service. All of it from the platform layer. And the heart of it is @platformatic Watt. 🧵

Leaving earlier to arrive in time means simply wait longer at the bus stop.

Alberto de Murga @threkk.com · 29/09/2026
One thing is what the bus stop says, and another thing is when the bus wishes to come.

Based on a group of drunk Italians I passed by, wolfs don’t howl to the moon but cats meow. Now I need someone to fact check this.

Read online somewhere: "AI finally achieved what humans could not. Managers must give exact context for what they want, must pay exact wages (tokens), and can't delay salary payments"

WTF Zoom...
"REDACTED and I joined a Zoom breakout from the open-plan office and discovered that neither of us could be heard,
while the men on the call came through perfectly. It turned out that Zoom's noise cancellation was filtering out female voices.
It was funny in the moment, but also an example of something I think about quite a lot lately: systems aren't always designed for everyone. And when something doesn't work for us, our instinct can be to adapt ourselves rather than question the system"

On the other hand, I need to admit that next day delivery has never failed unless it was PostNL.

Trick to not pay Amazon delivery fees in the Netherlands: 1. Pay for same day delivery. 2. The delivery is still in the Netherlands, they don’t understand “same day delivery”. 3. There will be a delay so they will refund you the delivery fee.

We detected a sharp spike in bookings that could be an outage. It was because Oasis announced their tour in US and EU.
