fix issue with 
#crisp plugin platform where a single plugin started hammering #crisp main HTTP API and our API started protecting itself and denying all plugins access to itself, for plugins running on the same Kubernetes node IP address, putting 30% of our plugins down. That was expected behavior, but now added a circuit breaker so that an abusive plugin cannot put all others down, only itself
finish pixel perfect implementation of new #crisp chatbox multi conversation management UI visuals, tomorrow will be backend and we’ll have a new feature ready
realize I don't like X anymore because my timeline is full of non-dev background vibe-coders spreading the message that it's the end of SaaS. While the true SaaS builders still build strong, I'd be interested to see how many of those pure vibe coders will be left in the game in a few years.
Hacker News is my new timeline. Cancelled X subscription cause it's became the land of greed and click bait 😛

wake up in off the grid forest lodge in costa rica but the internet is shit, latency is very high. It's very visible macOS apps eg. Apple Mail dont behave well at all under high latency, with synchronous UI freezes when it's waiting for the network, making it barely usable — showing the importance of careful software design cause 100% of the world doesnt have fiber or LTE internet #life
save scan of physical engineering school diploma to help trigger a tax optimization for #crisp since we can justify we do research
run yearly cleanup of personal and business mailboxes: remove old email I won’t need again, check Dovecot auto-cleanup rules still work fine (they did not!), keep spam filter optimal, all that to reduce the email clutter in 2026 and spend less time managing email #life
renew personal domain name on Porkbun and it's soooo cheap (6 EUR at Porkbun vs 38 EUR at Gandi before, used to be theft)
add new websocket event parameter on #crisp to know when an account goes out of trial period so that our integrations can know about it to apply more tiered pricing
investigate eu e-invoicing new regulation shit after Belgian customers start complaining that our #crisp invoices are not compliant to their new e-invoicing national requirements now in force since Jan 2026, and it's probably 2 days of work — EU gave us GDPR, PSD2, AI Act and now digital invoices, they just can't stop building regulations and slowing us down and forgot we're competing with the world and the whole world is laxer
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
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
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
