So I have been writing a book ... And today is the first day that you can buy it 🎉 Learn how to build, manage and use #Kubernetes on #AWS ! From minikube to EKS, EBS to the ClusterAutoscaler, ENIs to ECR its all there, and much more! packtpub.com/virtualization…

@xeode @cdslash @MichaelAArouet If the person earning £140k wanted housing or children they would have to pay for those things out of pocket so this is a fair and reasonable comparison.

@cdslash @MichaelAArouet they're trying to claim that housing allowance and childcare is 'take home pay' in these ones. they don't consider bin collection or healthcare take home pay for some reason. just selectively making up numbers for some shoddy reaction bait

Something is clearly out of balance when someone earning £10k and someone earning £140k take home the same net amount. No wonder so many hard-working people and entrepreneurs are leaving the UK. Would you want to live in a country that punishes hard work and jobs creation?

@RyanRadia @Nowooski Any flat thing that will fit will do it…

@Nowooski This tweet is how I learned you can just put any magnetic card in that slot

Did not expect Texas of all places to have European-style electrical rationing in hotel rooms. Also, a bit of a critical design oversight when the hotel chain aggressively pushes digital keys.

@clovistb What “plugin”? k8s apis don’t have breaking changes on a minor release…

I upgraded my Kubernetes cluster from 1.33.1 to 1.33.5. Upgrade succeeded. Control plane healthy. Nodes ready. Then production broke. A critical plugin my application depends on is not available for 1.33.5 yet. What would you do to fix this incident? #Kubernetes #DevOps #SRE

Rob Edwards' barmy army.

@TheNorfolkLion If you do this in Spain they will think that you must know them… Then they are scratching their head for the rest of the day trying to work out where they know you from.

I always do this… Is this just a British thing? ✊🏻🇬🇧

@brankopetric00 DNS is like that, I switched a record to point at a new ALB once, then came back to check on (and clean up) the old one a few weeks later and the traffic was still not insignificant.

You migrated your API from an EC2 instance to an ALB. Updated the Route 53 A record from the EC2 IP to an alias pointing at the ALB. TTL was set to 60 seconds. 3 hours later, 15% of your users still hit the old EC2 IP. The instance is stopped. They're getting connection refused. TTL is 60 seconds. It's been 3 hours. Why are 15% of users still resolving the old IP?

@AleksanderSado1 I have never used FreeCAD, but OpenSCAD is nice!

Is there any better CAD software than FreeCAD?

@ibuildthecloud @davidfowl 🤷‍♂️ It’s relative, try getting a simple ruby script to run in a container without ~ 50mb of runtime dependencies…

If you could tell me that that would be great to know. I've asked as many times the answer is basically always because it's statically linked. It has the entire equivalent of a libc. But I believe not only does it have the data structures like C does, but it has all the reflective information. Plus it has a scheduler, runtime, GC built in. But yeah they're huge.

Why are go binaries so big?

@brankopetric00 You can use the moved block since v1.1 developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/lang… Before that you had to run a “terraform state mv” command

You renamed a resource in your Terraform code. Old: resource "aws_s3_bucket" "data" {...} New: resource "aws_s3_bucket" "user_data" {...} You run 'terraform plan'. Terraform says: - destroy 'aws_s3_bucket.data' - create 'aws_s3_bucket.user_data' This will delete the production bucket and all its data. What command do you run to tell Terraform it's the SAME resource, just renamed?

@tomhfh Heineken 0.0 tastes surprisingly like the Alcoholic version… So yeah not that good 😔

This is fun. Don’t mind it at all, and it pours cash into the tube. Good stuff.

@ankhtweets @NickBuckleyMBE “Do not spit” signs were common in the UK until the 1970s, they were installed as a public health thing to combat TB. TB had been massively reduced by the 50s and so the signs gradually went out of use…

@NickBuckleyMBE Your absolutely right, We never used to have these signs having to show how to morally act in public.

We never had public signs like this when I was a kid. We were taught not to shit in the park - it is a normal trait for British kids.

@VE5REV Looks really neat! I bet it’s hard work crimping those connectors onto solid copper. I have an idea to do something like this with PCB and through-hole Anderson connectors.

Here's the DIY distribution block. I used 14awg solid core house wire. I recommend using stranded instead. This was a VERY unforgiving build 🫠 #profileId-321749" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">makerworld.com/en/models/4191…

@DavidHofmann_77 @watergypsi The longest boats are 72ft, but most boats are a little less than 57ft as that allows you to use nearly all of the canal network. Most boats have a second alternator on the main propulsion engine, and a bank of deep cycle batteries for domestic use. You can buy diesel on the cut

@watergypsi Narrow, but fully equipped! How long is boat? Must have a generator of some sort. Is fuel available on the canals, or does it have to be retrieved? (So many questions.) Thank you again for sharing!!

@janetacarr I just have it in my global config.

imagine not signing commits smh

@thebookishtoad @LeilaniDowding When the coins we currently have were introduced in 1971, a pound would buy 7-8 pints of beer down the pub. Now it’s getting harder to buy a pint with £5. coins are less valuable, because they are worth less. Go into a sweet shop and try to buy something for less than a pound?

Most people under a certain age that come in my shop, can’t seem to add up coins. They prefer to pay with a card, and if they do pay with money they prefer notes. On the rare occasions they have to use coins they nearly always give me too much and I have to give them some back. If they pay with a note I’ve been told, on multiple occasions, to keep the change. This has happened when it has been over £1, and on one occasion it was over £5 and, even then, the 14 yr old lad just shrugged and said he didn’t want it. I’ve also been told on good authority that the cleaner at the local upper school finds tons of coins in the bins and considers it a nice little earner on the side.

FFS!!!! Can we all try this today in any shop or food place around the country or even the world … and report back….

@Teeniiola The USA also has a floating post office en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._W._Wes…

Na this quiz we go use know people wey really smart! How many of these can you answer correctly? 👀🤔

@louispilfold My bank shows me a word as part of the login process, but it doesn’t really make a big deal out of it, if it wasn’t there I am not sure I would miss it until it was too late. We need a 2 way 2FA process, where the website sends you something you need to sign with a private key.

How does a website protect their users against phishing attacks? Seems really challenging. Having a unique image per-user that is shown on the 2FA page might help? Though getting users to remember that one should be present sounds difficult too.

@castleb0y Next you will be telling us that when you finished a meal you don’t do the washing up! You just “do the dishes” or something equally vulgar and uncouth.

most american reactions to britishism are overplayed but saying "washing-up liquid" instead of dish soap is truly insane

Nuno had a dream Now he’s at a different team Our Chinese Owners Sold Our Wonderkid From Porto They sold all our back And sold our attack We’re Wolverhampton And we want our club back #wwfc

@nateberkopec In the early 2000s I worked at a credit card company on the phones. When I started we had a green screen terminal application. Training took 2 weeks, calls took 3 minutes. A while later it was replaced by a terrible dotnet web app, training took 2 days, calls took 6 minutes.

I don’t think this TUI trend is gonna last. We’re reinventing web interfaces in the terminal because it looks cool. They’re also too hard to test.
