There is a Portuguese novelist (António Lobo Antunes) who says that he writes every day for about 12 hours a day. Still, on a good day he only ends with half a page of work.

This always confronted, puzzled me.

"Sometimes the thought is closer to the truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can't fake a thought." - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7939766/

Great work from @Argus about the moderation of social networks and a lot of details on Fediverse moderation https://conf.tube/videos/watch/d8c8ed69-79f0-4987-bafe-84c01f38f966

"I want to say that the treatments we have for depression are appalling. They're not very effective. They're extremely costly. They come with innumerable side effects. They're a disaster. But I am so grateful that I live now and not 50 years ago, when there would have been almost nothing to be done. I hope that 50 years hence, people will hear about my treatments and be appalled that anyone endured such primitive science." - https://www.ted.com/talks/andrew_solomon_depression_the_secret_we_share

Last week a song named WAP by Cardi B was released. I noticed some noise around it and as my company name is https://wap.pt/ I decided to investigate... I think I should buy the Urban Dictionary mug:

When I first started playing with algorithmic trading I thought it would be viable to aim at a >5% per day profit and was confused why more people weren't working on it.

Several years later and with much trial and error, actual reasonable/realistic backtesting and many experiments I think that now I have the answer. A strategy that consistent provides over ~0.2% profit per day is pretty much a best case scenario.

Just testing something

Starting to install updates in production 1 hour before a dinner party is probably not the best idea but I like to live on the edge :)

The first result (for me) on Google for "Pirate Proxy" is a DuckDuckGo SERP page... strange

Today OVH disabled Keystone (OpenStack Identity Service) API v2.0 and requires all endpoints to now use v3.

As the OVH instructions to access Swift via CyberDuck with Keystone v3 were incorrect, I have made a post with the correct settings: https://www.hugogameiro.com/cyberduck-with-ovh-swift-v3/

Also, made one for Transmit: https://www.hugogameiro.com/transmit-with-ovh-openstack-swift-v3/

Currently in Mastodon development testing there is this new message being displayed when you load a remote profile.

This simple message is a welcome addition. I had to explain this so many times to new people and even regular users don't know/remember (myself included, I keep forgetting this) that remote profiles are rarely complete.

May 31st, 2020: for the first time in my life I willingly downloaded and tested a Microsoft Browser.

Is no haircut a bad haircut? #ThoughtOfTheDay

I just woke up and couldn't for the life of me think what day it is. It took me a minute of hard thinking to come to the conclusion that today is Tuesday.

Next thought: this not leaving the house thing is really affecting me.

Now I seat down on my computer and see that today is Saturday

I’m pretty sure I never had my hands so clean in my life #WashYourHands
