@beezly You could do with some longer gearing on your car in Gran Turismo. You are loosing a lot of time on the straights due to hitting the rev limiter

@chrisridd People in a local Facebook group have warned people going to see it, to be aware that the local cinema only has 4 hours free parking, which the film goes over with the trailers and everything

Avatar 2 is quite long isn’t it? My bladder was getting range anxiety..

@siwilkins Is that to make Twitter seem more active amid the exodus of users?

1. Threads expanded in the latest-tweets/home view - so you have to scroll for pages to get past tweets from one single users' threads

There was lots of talk a couple of weeks ago about how Twitter was going to come apart at the seams technically, which seems to have fizzled out. Having said that, I've things which feel like significant steps backwards usability-wise over the last couple of days...

@elithrar meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/4218… seems very related here

I think what's most interesting to me about ChatGPT is how "good" the answers look at first glance to a layperson for a given topic — but closer inspection quickly highlights the problems. The "long-form answer" format lends itself to appearing trustworthy. Case in point:

I can't compete with this

@majek04 I still do it regularly, as a happy owner of one of these: kensington.com/p/products/ele…

Who remembers cleaning a mouse ball?

@jogbert @MichaelsCloud @CityFibre I was talking about City Fibre specifically, but I understand they don't always use telegraph poles. The telegraph poles should otherwise make it cheaper and quicker for them to roll out their network

We are having some conduit put in for the solar panels. The brown cable is what @CityFibre put in and it’s only just below the bricks. So as well as making a mess of the pavements they didn’t even bury the cables properly.

@chrisridd You can't unwrap it until Dec 25 though, right?

Tesla Delivery Day has arrived! 🚗

@sevanjaniyan I sometimes prefer the aging " Web Admin" 😉

@sevanjaniyan The term "DevOps" has lost all meaning to me. It's almost a decade ago since people started using the term to describe all sorts of different things. I tend to describe myself as an Infrastructure Engineer instead.

@RussInCheshire Will there be tofu?

Rise again

This broadband provider has some seriously funky packages available

@chainbear And Latifi, it's probably worth noting as well

@jogbert etcd was down and we weren't able to get it up again. We had luckily been preparing to migrate the services from this self-hosted cluster to instead run in AWS EKS, so we already had some experience with EKS and went for setting up a new cluster in that

This thread has a lot of good examples of how systems that otherwise have been set up to be redundant, can suddenly fail and be very difficult to get up and running again

We weren't able to get the cluster back up again due to the circular dependencies and lack of understanding of where the certificates were used, so we instead ended up setting up a new cluster and migrating to that instead. Luckily we could do that in a few hours

The person who created the certificate was no longer in the company and there was hardly anybody who had been in the company for that long, so it was just a waiting time bomb we had and only knew about when it happened
