I removed nearly all the news and social media apps from my phone a month ago and wrote about it: derek.broox.com...log/media-detox

Last night @kbroox and I had courtside seats to a basketball game where the score was 157-156, with 2 buzzer beaters in the last 3 seconds to flip the game back and forth. It was a very fun game.

I rebuilt the front end of my website (with Nuxt 3). It’s not a whole lot different, but should be faster and less buggy… or at least differently buggy. Give me feedback!

My website has been slow as shit. My DB, along with many of its definitions are literally 20 years old, so I revisited it. 95% of the issue was poorly defined indexes and a couple bad query patterns that haven't scaled with my data. Duh.

So, remember to revisit your indexes every once in a while.

I think it’s pretty damned respectable for Biden to put ego aside and do what he believes his constituents want.

Could he have done it sooner? Sure, but here we are.

Let’s focus on making sure that narcissistic, bigot, MAGA felon fuck never steps foot into our White House again
