Self-built tractor of the day. This one seems pretty fancy! It appears to incorporate half a car: engine, dashboard, steering wheel, seat. The exhaust got fitted in there, too. Pretty skilled work!

It's LPG powered for extra thrills and even has gold rims.

The rear axle looks to be from an actual tractor, not sure where the gearbox came from, perhaps too. The front axle appears to be entirely custom made.

There's front and rear hydraulics.

This is my #custom wake up alarm file, I have made it a long while ago.
I have been using it for years.
It's one of the few things I consistently load on a new device.

I believe it's so good, it deserves a wider user base than just me.
So feel free to spread it around.

It's starts off very soft, with #PenelopeCruz whispering "Open your eyes" from the movie by the same name for 10s, then a sigh of awakening, then a jaunty bounce that transitions into a #Ukrainian #EDM track that's sure to wake the dead. You're not missing your flight with that one, though after a while, you will wakeup just to Penelope's whispers.

Someone actually spent time making a #linter for #Postgres, and now we’re diving into the abyss of #custom #operators. 🥱 Apparently, there are more symbols than anyone asked for, but hey, at least they're not postfix! 🤯 Let's all pretend we're excited about Trino's #syntax influence. 🎉

A quotation from Nicolas Chamfort

Often an opinion, a custom, seems absurd when we are young, and advancing in life, we find the reason. Mustn’t we conclude that certain habits aren’t so ridiculous? One is lead to think sometimes that they were established by people who had read the entire book of life, and that they are judged by people who, despite their esprit, have only read a few pages.
 
[Souvent une opinion, une coutume commence à paraître absurde dans la première jeunesse, et en avançant dans la vie, on en trouve la raison; elle paraît moins absurde. En faudrait-il conclure que de certaines coutumes sont moins ridicules? On serait porté à penser quelquefois qu’elles ont été établies par des gens qui avaient lu le livre entier de la vie, et qu’elles sont jugées par des gens qui, malgré leur esprit, n’en ont lu que quelques pages.]
