WTF? The rest of the fam is obsessed with a product called "Liquid Death", which is essentially ... uh, water in a can. This is like selling-snow-to-Inuits levels of *Capitalism Gone Wild*.

I just received my first covid poke. I'm scheduled for the other one on the 27th of next month. Highly recommended.

Checking my RSS feeds this morning, and I find Drew DeVault telling it like it is: (https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/26/Cryptocurrency-is-a-disaster.html). TL;DR? Fuck cryptocurrency.

I'll be doing physical server maintenance between 04:00 and 06:00 UTC on the 18th of April. Personal infra will be down for a couple hours.
