@kiko666 “Life of a web page” from typing in the browser bar through DNS, page request, response and rendering. View source and Dev Tools are pretty good at visualizing, free add-ons.

If you were giving a technology workshop to 6-12 year olds, what would you cover that is practical, useful? I'm thinking USB, WIFI vs cell vs wired, battery/ac, system architecture, software basics, the concept of standards, mobile platforms, open source, and ethics/safety.

@BettyJunod Oww. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Not a great day on the mountain today….my knee isn’t having it.

@davidpdennis @PGE4Me Prius on gas is cheaper than an EV. $0.35/kwh at lowest tariff. And this is before the stealth-tax is implemented.

@simonpbennett @PGE4Me How nasty are the rates? We're still at $0.11-$0.13 up here. I've considered solar, but the kwhr are so cheap it almost doesn't pencil out

@p1lonn Achievement unlocked! Happy birthday.

Yep, today I turned 65 and started my hurtle towards eternity. To celebrate, my best friend (Augustine) and I opened the first taco stand in the fishing village (pop. 48) of Las Tina’s in Baja. The excellent reviews finally got us named on Google Maps. I lead an exciting life.

I have been reminded this is very US-centric. Persons outside the 50 states should s/Thanksgiving/Thursday/ 🦃 😅

Congratulations to the former employees of Pivotal, Carbon Black, Bitnami, Heptio, VeloCloud, CloudVolumes, AirWatch et al. You achieved the Tech Acquisition Turducken just in time for Thanksgiving.

. @emporia_energy recalled a product, which I owned. The email communication, replacement via app and delivery was simple and quick. Kudos for a safety issue handled well. You earned some more brand loyalty today.

@fintanr Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It’ll be interesting to see how OpenTF navigates balancing compatibility and differentiation.

I wrote up some thoughts on the HashiCorp BSL change, focusing on three core questions * commercial reasoning * is it advisable to stay using the projects? * wider implications for open-source projects?

@jakerobinson Neither the tweet nor the blog post describe their cloud footprint AFAIKT. Could be a screaming bargain. $3.2M / fully-loaded-cost-of-an-experienced-operator = a-small-number.

Open discussion. Anyone think it can be done cheaper long term on-prem?

@mikeroySoft This illegal? caranddriver.com/news/a38004981…

2-stroke gas leaf blowers should be illegal

@migmartri Because you have good sense?

I am watching Top Gun Maverick and for some reason I can't stand the fact that nobody wears a Helmet while riding a motorcycle

@KitMerker Your car’s extended warranty is about to expire…

You get paged at 3AM and decide to ignore it. What was the message and why was this the right decision?

@AmandaBlev @BettyJunod This is the way.

Fam...I want to fulfill my dreams of driving a wagon. Only real requirement is AWD/4WD. Gimmie your recs.
