YYYEEEESSSSSS!

How does the two pizza rule work if everyone is really hungry?

@mattstratton We just survived multiple once-in-a-generation global crises. Our kids are finally semi-safe and our bodies are telling us we’ve been running from lions for two years and need a goddamn rest.

My 2-year-old daughter's favorite stuffed animal, "Meow-Meow," is a critical service in my house, so I run a highly available three-node Meow-Meow cluster. Here's how it works: 1. Three observer processes monitor the current Meow-Meow leader (wife, oldest daughter, and me)
