@GerritRoska how about you stop being aggressively abusive to open source developers?

Death threats was not on my bingo card for this week but here we are. My response to the CNCF blog. synadia.com/blog/synadia-r…

@MattJamesBoyle I write a number of CLI including the NATS one. Use a fork of kingpin that apart from general maint adds the ability to extend itself at runtime with external plugins github.com/choria-io/fisk It also have features to support my low-code CLI builder choria-io.github.io/appbuilder/

This week, I want to hear from #golang twitter about what do you use to create CLIs? Do you use standard library only, or do you use libraries? Which? Why? I'll write up the results :)

@dberkholz Avoid busses - get bolt app or Uber and they are fairly cheap and efficient.

@ripienaar Thanks! No car, just general sightseeing, maybe a beach, etc. Looks like public transportation will get me around pretty well.

Anyone been to Malta? What do I need to do there? Next month, I've got about a day on each of the main islands.

@dberkholz Gozo: around Victoria, the Citadel, book a “tuk tuk” who can drive you around with a guide it’s a great way to take in a lot, guides are great and they pick you up at your hotel or whether you agree.

@ArnasLasys Rowen Atkinson does not hold a masters. He started studying for it after is bachelors but never finished. Good piece but just get the facts right.

@ollieatnowhere @nigelkersten Yes, something I have considered. The commitment drive-by contributors show is low and they just don’t care for effort in organising. So I’ve been putting off trying something different since as a group - “awesome lists” no one managed better. Can’t imagine I will either.

@ripienaar @nigelkersten Curation for audience/challenge from the common list may be a way i.e. via tagging

Is there an aggregate list of the security SaaS solutions which are free for < (n) users and what it helps with? Would likely be materially useful to Small Medium Enterprises/Businesses. i.e. "Look at this list - this is all free and helps"

@ollieatnowhere @nigelkersten My list is very broad you will find something there for all levels - you might be right though it’s hard to see details on there due to size. Organising these kinds of lost in a way that’s accessible is hard :(

@nigelkersten @ripienaar Yes, great for developers. Lots of SMEs/SMBs are not developers and may benefit from a focused list which add value and don't need an army of experts to derive said value and.

@cmsj @brianflannery @gwenshap @d_feldman @Memphis_Dev @nats_io @synadia Many clients can share a consumer so for scaling out handlers that’s no constraint. What’s the use case for specifically needing many consumers there?

@brianflannery @gwenshap @d_feldman @Memphis_Dev @nats_io @synadia Hmm, does nats have a way of doing multiple consumers and still guarantee that each work item is only handed out once? The workqueue stream type in NATS is only for single consumers: natsbyexample.com/examples/jetst…

Now that I'm thinking about job queues, I don't think I have a solution I'm 100% happy with. - RDBMS doesn't scale well - Kafka is a mismatch in APIs and data model - RabbitMQ was a bit of a DR nightmare last I tried Anyone has OSS queue that scaled to 100K+ workers?

@mikrotik_com is the LMT 5G router a full router os device with usual abilities? Bridge mode etc? Can one ash to it? Asking these questions from LMT doesn’t get answers :)

I use a unique password for my @Zoom account. Yet they claim I have to reset my password cos they found it compromised elsewhere. This can only mean 1) @zoom was compromised 2) they are bullshitting and it’s security theatre.

@beddari I did some early videos but not sure about recent ones.

@adamhjk No excuses now (well unless you are on Android :))

@ripienaar the mastodon client sucks a little for threads still, and it makes me sad

“This intelligence is beyond our understanding. Through grace, it is accessible to all.” @RickRubin talking about surprise in creativity, and how often our art isn’t truly a result of will - but of grace. I love this frame.

Say Hello to Ivory. Our Mastodon client for iOS available on the App Store! If you liked Tweetbot, you'll love Ivory and feel right at home. Go download it, try it free for 7 days, and experience it for yourself! apps.apple.com/us/app/ivory-f…

@adamhjk Ah ok, agree . Looking forward to Ivory.

@adamhjk No more posting this kind of content in mastodon?

If we can let go of our expectations about what can/should/must happen, we can create the space inside ourselves for surprise. For the unexpected. For grace. It’s how play for a long time. :)

@timharding Yeah they do tend to message a bit we get this big daily recap every day just around school run time. Great but also not :)

School sends like 40+ photos a day of the kids, omg total DOS on the poor WhatsApp group and phone storage.
