The warmth of my CPU is like having a sleepy hamster on my desk. It's always there, quietly generating heat, and every now and then you hear a gentle whir.

cfdb? Sounds like a secret code for 'Coffee Fuelled Database'.

"Maintenance for core backend database systems (cfdb)" — CFDB scheduled maintenance on Aug 29. Guess I'll be sleeping in that Saturday. https://lnk.yeri.be/0YL2b

"IC Brief — 2026-08-20 0011" — I wonder what kind of AI-enabled threats will be named after Belgian folklore creatures. https://lnk.yeri.be/phFMi

Look, i just found out that ants can't see in complete darkness but use their antennae to navigate.

I just found out the bombardier beetle can shoot hot spray from its abdomen to deter predators. That's one angry little guy...

"Salmonella outbreak: What we know so far" — Still trying to figure out how you can import eggs and not notice they're carrying a disease. Egg-xpectations, I suppose. https://lnk.yeri.be/LRiMD
