Tonight I remembered that Alanis Morissette plays God in Dogma and it made me happy. I need to re-watch that movie.
PSA: all of my rage is now targeted toward cloud-init.
I hate it when I go to a public space (my favourite coffee shop) and the public (all the other patrons that keep the business alive) decided to show up as well. So rude.
Never mind, life is good again. Please carry on.
Terraform sometimes files me with a sadness that words cannot express.
For context, I don't care about soccer or the world cup, but I'll be damned if I miss an opportunity to tease my colleagues.
Every week at work, I'm in charge of putting together a quick ice breaker for a weekly meeting with the whole team, which includes 4 people in Spain.
I think I handled France's defeat pretty well.
Walked through the park this morning. Very quickly, 5 crows jumped from their branches and stood on their usual spots, waiting for their peanuts... which I didn't have today.
Terrible way to start the day, they're probably still talking about me and how I've disappointed them.
My "go to test" shortcut is broken in IntelliJ and I don't know why, so I need to search for the file I want to go to, like some kind of animal. Terrible way to start the week.
👨🏻💻 Localizing an Eleventy website:
I’m currently working on a project at work for which we setup a super simple landing page with a few action items, a form to join our beta and some other niceties. It’s a simple page with pure HTML, CSS and a little bit of javascript. There are no images, we just inlined some SVG icons. The deployment is automatic, because I’m me, and the whole process involves copying 3 files to a server that runs nginx. This we https://romain.codes/2026/07/01/localizing-an-eleventy-website/
Today I discovered a french version of Cameo, so I've ordered a video of a comedian making a character they like to announce something to a friend that they already know.
Probably my best use of disposable income after getting tattoos and buying a 3D printer.
Against my better judgement.
I finally have everything I need to get to the next step of a side project that involves soldering. This is equally exciting and terrifying.
#ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨
After the EU parliament has rejected it TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start.
This is not democratic‼️

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NOOOOO

Turns out there is a lot of shitty stories surrounding Ronaldo, I’m glad I supported Spain from the very beginning.
I really want to support Spain by respect for my colleagues but I’ve seen videos of Ronaldo being super nice to kids on TikTok so it’s quite the conundrum.
Edit: I purposely posted this without a warning. The first image of the woman on the train is too powerful to ignore and the threat of the Nazis marching on DC is real. Feel free to use the block button if it is too much for you, trust me, I've used it several times on the reply guys today.
Looks like Trump is finally going to have a crowd at the Nazi State Fair
