<p>Were any of you fucks gonna tell me my blog page has been broken for the last 2 days since I updated Ubuntu and PHP versions?</p>
<p>So yeah, I finally updated my VPS from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS. 22.04 was out when I first set up the VPS, but I'd heard its memory manager likes to misbehave and just randomly kill stuff. I needed a more recent version of Ubuntu to get PHP 8.1 in the repos though, because I want to set up a Nextcloud server on this thing. At any rate, seems fine so far.</p>
<p>Job's going... alright. Could be better. I'm having to work the closing shift alone a lot, which is a huge pain and involves a ton of work but I can just about do it. My coworkers are nice though. I'll probably shoot for a job in data entry or something next.</p>
<p>I got a new phone recently! It's a Google Pixel 4a. I wouldn't ordinarily even entertain the idea of using a Google phone, but the Pixel line are the only phones supported by my custom OS of choice, Graphene. I chose the 4a in particular because it was the last Pixel to ship with two important features: a heaphone jack and no 5G support. Did you know that 5G connectivity allows your phone to be tracked to within inches of its position? Cool, right?</p>
<p>I also got a new keyboard. I bought a TKL keyboard and accompanying separate numpad from Keychron because they didn't have any 100% keyboards in the color I wanted. They're really good, much better than my old Logitech in about every possible way. In fact, while writing this I tested them both side by side and noticed that the old keyboard has, like, this hollow ring to it that I never realized wasn't normal. Having used something nicer, it feels and sounds pretty shitty in comparison. All that said, ordering from Keychron fucking sucked. Their system flagged my order as potentially fraudulent and it literally took weeks to convince them to ship it to me. Buy their shit, but buy it somewhere other than their website.</p>

<p>I've deprecated the changelog on my website in favor of just linking an RSS feed of my <a href="https://git.isopod.cool/will/isopod.cool/commits/branch/main">git commits</a> to it. Strictly speaking this is probably a worse user experience, but it's my website and I'm too lazy to keep maintaining two changelogs. Figured I'd announce it here in case someone is regularly checking on the changelog but isn't subscribed to its Atom feed and is curious what happened.</p>

<p>All in all, very dubious. Steer clear. I now recommend Porkbun. It's the registrar I switched to and it fixes every complaint I had with Domain.com. Plus, it's much cheaper.</p>
<p>I'm tightening up my security practices, bit by bit. Just this week I've set up KeePassXC, <span title="This lets me give out customized email addresses to every website that asks for one so I don't have to reveal my real one. hmu at sussybaka.uwu@bathynomus.xyz">created a catch-all custom email domain in protonmail</span>, and purchased a Yubikey.</p>
<p>I also upgraded my Protonmail subscription to Proton Unlimited recently, and started using Proton VPN on account of I'm allowed more than one connection now and Unlimited is actually cheaper than paying for Protonmail Plus and Mozilla VPN separately. Funny thing, Proton VPN is also just better. Mozilla VPN is alright, but it's lacking features and you don't get very granular control over which server you're connecitng to, just which city it's in. Proton VPN gives you hundreds of different servers to choose from, sometimes dozens per city, with handy little indicators of which ones are good for streaming/torrenting/being routed through Tor. It's also got DNS leak protection, an automatic killswitch, and a built-in adblocker(!), none of which Mozilla VPN offers. My favorite feature, though I have no use for it currently, is the ability to hook your router up to it and pipe your entire network through it. They literally advertise that you can do this.</p>

<p>Good talk. It is now 3 AM and I need to sleep. Goodnight.</p>
