#Today #3Things

1. A brief but hard rain shower, after 3 completely dry weeks. The farm needs more but it's a start.

2. Completed a major cloud app upgrade and data migration for a client without major issues.

3. Quoted for some new work for same client. Approx 6 days work, the fee for which would cover our overheads for 2 months. Hopefully it will get approved.

So it's #3GoodThings today.

@PeteLittle@autistics.life For a while now I use #3Things for my daily mundanities, that way I can post good and bad... i.e. reality. I'm not good with toxic positivity (I had _that_ mother), which is what #3GoodThings feels like to me.

@drewph@ieji.de @PeteLittle@autistics.life Worth it being wary of toxic positivity, and no objection to #3Things posts. I’ve been following #3GoodThings for a while now. Sought it out in the #Fedi after experience with the concept working in healthcare through COVID. Can point you to some research if you want. Piping up to say I find folks posting with that hashtag are pretty honest about struggles. You can tell if someone is really squinting to find silver linings or to salvage good from a sucky period. Also find they engage fast when others either have truly good stuff or clearly need some kind words. Understandable that the idea sets off alarms. But in practice hasn’t seemed toxic to me 4 years in (so far).

#Today #3Things

1. I managed to isolate a residential proxy botnet that was hammering one of my client servers, and after adding some new htaccess rules, I've got CPU and RAM use down from 95% to about 25% and no more 503 errors. #Tech #WordPress #VPS #Hosting #DDoS

2. Monitoring my posture more carefully while at my desk working (and playing). My #interoception is a bit unreliable like many #neurodivergent folk, but a mindful body scan approach may help, if I can stay aware of it. My trouble is that I get so absorbed in what I'm doing, nothing else exists.

3. View from one of my study windows this morning. More controlled and supervised burning in the southmost hectare, in preparation for cultivation. #Farming #FarmLife

#Today #3Things

1. My AI model escaped containment and is now sitting at the side of the highway begging for DRAM and claiming it's a goose.

2. I may be getting to the bottom of my neck pain. Was playing Luanti, did a semi-automatic body scan and realised my posture was terrible and odd groups of muscles (including my jaw) were tensed...

3. Took wife for a drive in the mountains this morning, followed by a delicious lunch at a little cafe which, though it was missing a lampshade, had this view. #Sarangani #Philippines

#Today #3Things #threeGoodThings

1. Home made #bread flavoured with #Scottish heathland #honey
2. On a new instance/server. Hello Boyz and gals and aliens.
3. Fed birds with dried #mealworms. I haz food to spare...

In other words I am a happy wer-lobster

#Today #3Things

1. Our recent #coconut harvest, though not our biggest by number of nuts, is the record-holder for gross profit thanks to bigger nuts and a higher market price per kilo for the dried #copra.

2. Some useful comments on my humungous #tech post last night mean that I have some new #ModelRailway software to try out.

3. My efforts to show willing for my wife's birthday event include a new shirt, which (after having bought it under duress) I actually quite like, despite spending 99% of the time in a teeshirt these days.

Added the #3GoodThings tag because they're all good today!
