Sometimes my brain likes compounding ear-worms by also replacing the definite article with the indefinite, so today I have mostly been singing about how you saw a whole of a moon.

A reminder once again that Bluesky WILL NOT promote bad actors onto people's timelines because there's no centralized algorithm. If you want to prevent bigots from spreading their hate, REPORT, BLOCK, MOVE ON. Do not reply to them. Do not quote them. Do not screenshot them. Cut off their exposure.

Migrated from 1Password to self-hosted Vaultwarden running on k3s this afternoon. Took about an hour start to finish, including time to create and edit the YAML for my deployment, PVC, service, and nginx ingress.
