When in #Wellington it's the perfect moment to stock up on @kererubrewing Night Spirit. 😁

"Night Spirit Imperial Stout is a deep dark intense imperial stout that has been aged over 10 months in rare American oak bourbon barrels that previously held New Zealand Whiskey Co. single malt for more than 20 years."

Long weekends are perfect for starting a new project: from #WordPress to a static website via @publii for one of my blogs.

Why I’m testing a static website (as a WordPress fanboy)

It's time to go back to the future. Time to see how speed, SEO and costs of my blog can be improved by going for a static website: from WordPress to Publii

I have said this before:

A lot of journalists, influencers, etc have a problem with fedi because they don’t bother understanding the format

They’re used to platforms that work like this:
- share hot take
- receive likes

The fedi works differently:
- Engage with the community
- Connect with like minded folks regularly so they see you as a peer
- Eventually share your hot take
- Get responses
- Interact

And there you have it. That’s how you make friends instead of just followers.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 🎶 "You Bastards" in the background (Tony Martin line-up, live version)... Perfect moment to enjoy Bastard Rye.

Boozy caramelly bourbon blast in this tasty Garage Project brew 🤘

Today's harvest: strawberry guava (Psidium cattleyanum) 😋

These sweet strawberry-flavoured berries are so tasty.

This is my second "holy shit" of the day.
Apparently #LinkedIn if silently collecting data on every extension you use every time you visit the site. Which it then uploads, with your identity attached to it.
This is absolutely horrifying. Literally, people should go to jail over this.

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

When you see this constantly in job descriptions "This role is an on-site role..." it's surprising to also see news articles like this 👇

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/591306/why-retailers-are-hoping-you-don-t-work-from-home

"Employers might be being encouraged to let people work from home if they are struggling with fuel costs, but not everyone hopes they heed the message."

Why retailers are hoping you don't work from home

Employers might be being encouraged to let people work from home to cope with fuel costs, but not everyone hopes they heed the message.

Someone turned on the lights in the world of darkness 😱 Interesting mindfuck such a white #stout 😁

Creamy, sweet and vanilla... Too sweet & creamy for my taste. I'll stick to the darkness 🤘

A day road tripping Tasman, NZ. Tasman is SO underrated compared to Queenstown or Milford Sound. Epic scenery, fewer crowds, and the drives between spots are stunning.

Still fun to play Burnout Legends and Virtua Tennis on the #PSP.

Although the device feels so small when you're used to the Steam Deck 😆
