So, I took this week off, to get my mental health back. Felt close to burning out and I somehow ended up in a Tipi tent, preparing dinners on campfires. 😂

This was a great weekend and we are returning home today where I’ll dig a 5m big hole for a pool. This will give me some time to think as well.

Started Jedi Survivor this morning and: that game feels like a great sequel to Jedi Fallen Order.

Great feeling that I have a week off now and have some time to play it.

I would love one of course

Binged the heck out of Jury Duty and loved it! It’s one of those series that restores faith in humankind.

Spend the morning tweaking and getting this graph 'just right' in Home Assistant. Displaying my current usage, solar output, produced energy and net usage.

I am such a numbers geek, love to have all these stats about our house and making sure that I can crunch them into a single chart.

Tried replacing my Logitech G815 with an Apple Keyboard with a fingerprint sensor. That is a $200 keyboard, but I was hoping it would have the tactile feel of the earlier Apple keyboards.

When I received it and took it out of its packaging, I almost got PTSD back to the weird keyboard they included in the 2017 Macbook Pro.

This was an instant return for me. Too bad, as I would love to add Touch ID to my Macbook Pro setup, while my laptop is closed.

So, whenever I now want to know how something works, I actually use the documentation (e.g. DateFormatter), instead of googling it. Does this mean I have finally grown up?

Also, I can't even remember when I used a site like StackOverflow.

Getting back in some iOS development, just for a little pet-project. The last time I did any Swift development, PureLayout was one of the best auto-layout tools (ugh, 5 years ago?).

Using SwiftUI feels really good though.

So great that Mastodon supports blocking and filtering in the way it does. This does make the whole experience a lot better as it is moving more and more to the Twitter style at the moment 😕 .

Question, in a remote only environment. Have you ever had or witnessed a medical emergency during a video meeting?

If so, what would steps to help be? For example, my colleagues don’t have my address or the emergency information of my country.

I will never get used to my kids getting home after I go to bed. Can’t sleep or I wake up every 20 minutes.

Once they are safely home, I can finally sleep..

And just before this crisis began, we put out an offer (and didn’t get it) on a house that used 3000m3 of gas a year to heat. I am actually glad we were outbid.

This energy crisis really highlights some problems. My neighbour can barely pay to have her house heated to 17 (real) degrees, so switching from an expensive to a cheaper energy provider will be out of reach.

17 degrees! (62,6 Fahrenheit).

Also fun, I knew this bill was coming and how much it was going to be, but while I was switching it was never mentioned anywhere. So this...

Also fun, I knew this bill was coming and how much it was going to be, but while I was switching it was never mentioned anywhere. So this could be a nasty surprise for people.

This probably doesn’t make sense for anyone than Dutch people, but here you pay a set amount per month and that is combined over a whole year.

So for example, the winter is expensive as you are heating your house, while the summer is cheap, as you use less electricity and gas and also have more solar production.

So, I am switching Energy provider, because I am now at Essent, which charges 30% for gas than my new one.Switching costs me 900+ euros,...

So, I am switching Energy provider, because I am now at Essent, which charges 30% for gas than my new one.

Switching costs me 900+ euros, because we only have had the expensive months yet.

@paul I would love it if switching to my local and federated feed in @ivory wouldn’t force me to hold my phone with two hands. Maybe they can also be tabs at the bottom?
