Got a quote for 65 euros to replace the battery in my Pixel 4a. So far the lowest I've seen. Tempted to do it and extend the lifespan of the phone at least by another year or two.

I started "link blogging" in January of last year, since then I've created 130 entries. At the time I didn't implement any pagination into the site, mostly out of laziness, and I've discovered it's incredibly useful to ctrl+f entries using keywords. So I'll keep it a single page.

The page is only 60KB when compressed so it's not an issue but should probably consider splitting the page once it gets too big... but how big is too big?

I had my first encounter with a Docker image being removed by the owner from Docker Hub. Luckily, I had a running instance of a service that used the image on my homelab.

Here's a small write-up on using Docker save and load to locally store and use images. It's worth including in your backups as well, as it was something I hadn't previously considered.

I'd also recommend reading @cinimodev 's post on using Forgejo's container registry to do the same.

Oh is that a re-org I hear? A change in line of reporting and a new upper manager, I see. Well, I look forward to hearing them speak at the next all-hands and for their end of year enthusiastic email wishing us a merry Christmas if there isn't another re-org by then.

The TreinTramBus article also talks about the removal of the direct IC connection between Sint-Niklaas and Brussels in favour of a connection at Dendermonde to improve reliability still results in delayed trains. The delay results in a shorter transfer times and subsequent missed connections.

VRT NWS reports about the congestion at Mechelen after removing one train during peak hours between Antwerp and Brussels to make room for the Eurocity Direct. This comes after the TreinTramBus article requesting NMBS to (1) make the Eurocity Direct open to domestic passengers in Belgium, (2) re-add the peak train to Brussels and (3) extend existing trains.

Just learnt the Oxford Word of the Year 2024 voting is open (it closes on 28 November). The options are brain rot, demure, dynamic pricing, lore, romantasy and slop.

For anyone curious last year's Word of the Year was 'rizz'.
