Concluded my post-shoulder fracture recovery plan and ended up with a FTP of 257. Not record-breaking but I'm still happy, given that my FTP sat at 210 about 4 months ago right after my accident.

6000km on my bike in 2022 despite recovering from a broken shoulder and suffering from COVID. Here's to spending more time and kilometers on my bike in 2023!

Tried watching The Witcher: Blood Origin on Netflix and had to stop about 50% into the first episode. It's an incredibly tough watch when expecting the quality standards set by the Witcher series. Poor dialogue, poor effects, poor ambience. Too bad, as I'm a massive fan of the Witcher games and books.

So @dirkprimbs inspired me to try Lensa's AI-based avatar generation using stable diffusion. It's remarkable how astonishing the results are considering my sample data consisted of only 10 pictures. Definitely a fun experience!
I also have no idea what Post-Screamo is. But I'll take it.
#SpotifyWrapped Well, at least that subscription pays off 😂

* Your old account will become inactive (greyed out) and will point to the new account. The app sadly doesn't seem to display this redirect/alias, though.

Now here's why I migrated: mastodon.cloud's API doesn't match mastodon.social (which is maintained by Mastodon's founder). This difference breaks tools like @Tibor's movetodon.org. I also like that it is based out of Europe, so it matches my expectations re data privacy etc.

Migrated my account from mastodon.cloud to mastodon.social (reasons to follow) and here are a few things I learned:
* Migration includes moving your followers
* Your toots will not migrate
* You need to create an alias on your to-be-migrated-to account before being able to migrate from your previous account
* People you are following are not migrated -- you can download a CSV of them, though, and import that list on your new account
