MFW my PM approaches me holding a box, knowing full well the box contains pizza and this means they want me to stay late

@simonw I always end up having to grant full control to repositories - when that is hardly ever what I actually want.

My favourite implementation of an easy mechanism to get a token for your own data is currently GitHub Personal Access tokens, but even those give you a list of scopes with not quite enough information to feel comfortable you're picking the right ones github.com/settings/token…

Confession: I've been working with OAuth for thirteen years, and yesterday I gave up trying to create myself an OAuth credential to access my Google Calendar data after half an hour of trying.

"On Monday, November 2, 2020 at 9am PST, Docker will begin enforcing rate limits on container pulls for Anonymous and Free users. Anonymous (unauthenticated) users will be limited to 100 container image pulls every six hours"
this is going to break a lot of stuff

Lots of good points in here and not just for SREs.
"Beware of rolling your own stack and tools. Unless this homemade tool is a unique differentiator, your best choice is to turn to third-party products that fulfill the requirement."

THE ONLY UK PRIME MINISTER ASSASSINATED was the one who:
- Worked out how to ban slavery
- Enforced that
We don't even teach kids about HIM, a white Tory. That's how denialist we are.
Meet the strangest political partners ever: Stephens and Perceval, the playboy and the zealot
John Bull@garius
~~~ wobbly lines ~~~ Welcome to 1800s Britain. When politics was largely the reserve of the landed gentry, there were no real laws to protect poor people and you could do virtually anything if you were rich. Including owning other people. There's a reason Rees-Mogg likes it.

@patrickdebois slack has a json export built in, it is in the admin panel.
English
Any know of a good tool to archive slack?
It's for a domain no longer used but would be great to keep an archive of the messages somehow

Everytime somebody in Europe suggests that there should be a European cloud, one has to remember: No cloud provuder got started w/o a huge *other* biz to finance the crazy up-front CapEx.
Corey Quinn@QuinnyPig
A point: that $10.2 billion is REVENUE. It cost them $7.1 billion to provide the services. Great margins, sure, but I don't think anyone really "gets" how fantastically expensive building a global cloud provider really is.

@copyconstruct we're using CDK a lot, and it is not unholy amounts of yaml. recommended.
English
For all the talk of infra as code, in my entire career all I’ve seen is code that’s a tangle of shell scripts, or an unholy amount of json/yaml, jinja (hello ansible), Ruby or cloud formation templates.
Or even before, things like boto + fabric (remember?)
English
Looked a bit into @PulumiCorp today and it looks amazing!
Over all other programming languages used in the “infrastructure as code” space (HCL, cloud formation, yaml), this looks the most promising.

@thommay @mjg59 @dsilverstone FWIW It works far better in chrome than anything else, in my experience.
English
@mjg59 @dsilverstone Yeah, it makes no sense - I can't imagine it would actually be the case that there would be any internal config to make it better.

Re: buzzfeednews.com/article/pranav… - I wasn't involved in this decision, but end users shouldn't feel scared about using Zoom just because Google blocked it. The things we have to care about are very different to the things most people have to care about.

MORE WOMEN IN TOP SLOTS. Research says: (1) Women are better leaders than men. (2) Women are better negotiators. (3) Women are better salespeople. (4) Women are better investors than men. (5) Women are better educated and the F-M education gap is staggering.

@benlandis we did a video call. it was fine. i saved a day of mostly pointless travel. also missed a social occasion though.

@SwiftOnSecurity That's only tens of millions dead, globally. A mere bagatelle.

Large organizations have terrible troubles with dashboards and percentages.
95% antivirus coverage on a network with 50k clients are 2500 unprotected computers.
Nobody gets promoted for fixing the last 5%.
But five percent is an entire universe of failure.

@simonwheatley if you have corporate gsuite then you get a mail routing interface. otherwise maybe zapier or something like that?
English
Is there an app which will allow me to configure more flexible and sophisticated rules or filters for gmail than the gmail interface itself?
