Speaking of packer, I’ve been playing around with my OpenBSD router builds, and I’ve read that it at least used to have problems routing gig+ uplinks, but so far this 7.1 build is pushing just about the expected line speed for my 1.2Gbps connection I have now 😁

Been using terraform for years now, and playing with packer some too. Finally getting around to playing with a nomad cluster too. Why, exactly, isn’t this the preferred clustering tech?

@Magnus919 This was probably one of the biggest problems I never learned to how manage when I spent 8 months running a team. I’ve never been so burnt out as I was then.

Soooo...this site seems to have turned into a shit show of different marginalized groups screaming at others that they aren’t really marginalized instead of working together to make things better. I may be back if I ever feel my mental health can take it. But it’ll be a while.

Wait, what??? Really?

@saurabhg Im really starting to wish there were a viable 3rd option for smartphones.

Go Apple!

@QuinnyPig OpenBSD on protectli hardware (or similar). But I’m an old school *NIX nerd who likes things “just so”.

As I begin the Great Ubiquiti Exodus, what's the current state of the art for a gateway device? Gigabit required, I'd prefer not to have to futz with it overmuch.

Only in the United States will people think human beings don’t have the right to healthcare, water, housing or an education, but a capitalist not paying living wages has the right to an employee.

This whole "new exec joins a smaller company from big tech, wants to fire everyone and replace with big tech engineers to ''level up'' hiring" thing happens so often should be cataloged as an anti-pattern for tech leadership.

@saurabhg I really can’t believe people still care about what he “writes”. If you can call pithy quotes around several paragraphs of someone else’s words writing.

I don’t get why people still follow this blog. I think it was not so long ago that this blog was making fun of names.

@dhh “Consequences culture”, FTFY. And you used to be such an inspiration.

"If you get used to a situation where not only is persuasion kind of futile but deliberation and argumentation itself essentially it becomes futile, then you sort of get the idea that every political argument is a battle in a total war." nytimes.com/2021/04/27/opi…

I had startups forever ruined for me because a C level executive tried to give me a speech like this in private as I was packing my desk after being laid off. I can’t imagine what it’s like for these former employees, with this being done publicly. youtube.com/watch?v=MV-3Gg…

This aged well

Been far too long since I’ve had a chance to just sit and listen to my music at a ridiculous volume. My good over ear headphones come close, but nothing beats my living room surround sound.

Literally reinstalled macOS on an old Mac mini this week just so I could use Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows drivers I needed for it. Do better @apple.

My required corporate training now includes an active shooter unit this year. They don’t call it that, but 100% that’s what it is. Let that sink in for a moment.

Kinda conflicted on this Republicans vs MLB thing. On the one hand, I can’t stand the asshats who are proposing stripping the MLB of its immunity from the Sherman Antitrust Act, or the reason they’re doing it. But on the other hand, why does ANY company have immunity to that?

I officially no longer care what the FSF says or does. The fact that they still believe RMS is good for the free software community is laughable at best, and outright damaging to that community.
