create a short email address on my short domain name vsa.name, pointing to my main email address on valeriansaliou.name, to be used at physical counter desks when I need to give my mail so that it's dead easy and not error-prone — maybe should buy vs.me now but it's 30k USD so maybe not worth it at all #life

finish merging a shitton of merge request for #crisp from @eliott for new products coming out very soon

optimize critical path in #crisp chatbox websocket server, cause we can save A TON of CPU cycles at our scale if we batch everything in a single Redis BATCH command

cancel costly Gandi Mail offers cause sending personal mail shouldn't be so expensive, I've already been on Migadu for 1 year and working great #life

see migration of personal domain name out of Gandi.net complete, my domain is now managed by the Porkbun.com registrar cause people say so many good things about them and they are so cheap #life

chat with very dumb bank AI-powered / not-so-AI-powered chatbot and have a hard time calling for a human to help cause the chatbox wants an explanation first but it does not understand me #life

contact bank cause they have been blocking all my outbound wires since Christmas w/o giving me information about it, just "failed for technical reasons" #life

Late night work on #crisp new chatbox design improvements

try local Costa Rica defunct but now re-opened Selina location in beach town, under a different name with different owner, and it's empty, its cowork is moldy as fuck and everything is in disarray, very sad to see what's left of Digital Nomad infrastructure in 2026. I've seen 2 people renting rooms, but it seems to have 20x the capacity #life

buy vsa.name domain name on namecheap cause they cost $9/yr for initial buy + renewal (w/ no VAT), and plan to migrate away all my domains from Gandi.net cause same .name costs 40€/yr to renew, excluding FR VAT so w/ VAT that's almost 50€/yr, a 5x price difference. Gandi.net was bought by a PE firm a few years ago and it is slowly destroying what once was one of the best registrar in the world, with huge price increases and no new products having been built for ages #life

finish implementing a #crisp backend feature allowing plugins to know about a website plan subscription, and when this plan changes in real time

buy Costa Rican cacao #life

add a way for #crisp plugins to quickly know about the current plan subscription of a #crisp website bound to them so that they can tier features based on #crisp subscription (used for our official plugins)

wake up and drink espresso coffee in off grid tropical jungle #life

see another nice dividend payout being planned end of January on my ETF portfolio #life

work on blessed 5G netgear router from Costa Rica remote tropical beach town because Airbnb internet gets very spotty when neighbors open TikTok, and I need to have my own dedicated LTE connection to avoid connection sharing issue due to poor bandwidth. Feels great that my FR cell service provider has 200GB international data packages for only 50€/mth while local SIMs are crazy expensive — \cc @LeCoupa best router in the world #life

super early wake up this morning and I like it #life
