    To be fair, you’ve added commas which makes it a parenthetical phrase. But yeah - people do speak like this in real life; technically, I should have said no-one speaks like this in non-impromptu speech without sounding stilted.

    “Carl said on Thursday” is definitely more idiomatic (to my BrE ears, anyway) than “Carl on Thursday said”.








  • I was interested to see that there’s an unexplained dip in battery visible on the status page:

    I wondered if it was due to a lot of traffic (bots/DDOS/Slashdot effect) but then I noticed it’s behind Cloudflare (cheating a bit, surely?).

    edit: I’d missed the bit where he says he doesn’t use the caching:

    I use Cloudflare’s DNS proxy, which handles DNS and offers basic DDoS protection. However, I do not use Cloudflare’s caching or CDN features, as that would somewhat defeat the purpose of running this website on solar power and keeping it local-first.
