Ceph is by far the best network monitor... I swear, every single mysterious problem on our ceph clusters has eventually been found to be a glitchy switch, router, fibre, whatever.

🚨 #Cephalocon 2025 🦑 is coming to Vancouver on October 28–29! This isn't just a tech conference, it's the global gathering for anyone who lives and breathes #Ceph. #Developers #Operator #StorageNerd You're gonna want in! 💥 Registration is now open: events.linuxfoundation.org/cephalocon/reg…

I’ll be speaking at Ceph Days Silicon Valley in March. #Ceph is the leading software-defined #storage, and this event is open to everyone, whether you use it every day or just want to see what the hype is about. Hope to see you there! ceph.io/en/community/e…

An example of how data sovereignty doesn't seem to matter in Canada: the BC election results are hosted out of Azure blob, traceroute taking me through Portland, Des Moines, Chicago, ...

@Apple Found it! You have to disable Reactions for every app via the menu bar here:

@Apple my Macbook is randomly showing balloons in serious conf calls. What's up, how do I disable it?

@SlackHQ Got it, thanks!

@danvanderster Hey there! You are able to customize those one-click reaction emojis. If you click on your profile picture > Preferences > Messages & media > then under Emoji you should see "Show one-click reactions on messages" and can choose Custom to select which emojis you'd like.

Why does @SlackHQ only ever give me these three reactions, which I basically never use?

There was a bear near Templeton Secondary this afternoon! A young male, around 150lbs, tranquilized to be relocated. #Vancouver #wildlife

I presented some best practices operating Ceph today at #CephDayVancouver co-located with the #OpenInfraSummit Here are my slides.
