2024

New building code for rentals stipulates one room must be capable of cooling to 26c or lower. This building was built to that code.

So we have AC. It’s fantastic.

Such kneejerk.

WHAT DOES THE MATH SAY?

As a US citizen you have right to work in most of those countries.

Nope. Absolutely none of those appear to allow working with just a US passport.

Without that right, it would be a different story

… Because I think it is.

But, to be fair, I only did a little searching. If you have a reference - like a page from the gov of Denmark saying “Yanks are cool: come in and get to work” - I’d love to be proved wrong. My nephew needs to see the world, and working is how it’s done.

Hey. If yanks get get to Canada, and get in, I’m sure we’d love to have ya.

There’s a catch: if you’re not fleeing persecution, you’re gonna need a skill. It bumps up your score on the big calculation they do, and if you can keep doing the skilled work you may one day afford to live somewhere other than winnipeg.

Every time we move house, my office gets smaller. As we have a rule where the work room needs to be self-contained, my space to stash old NICs or HDDs that I need to shred is contracting.

Oh noo; forgejo is still not connected? I had high hopes. What’s the timeline?

(Honestly, but for the wonky CI spec language I may have switched already)

Company A permits federation of project 2 with contractor B who agrees. Oh look! No need to add 21 people to your AD. Contract done? De-fed.

Google feds with GH for AOSP dev, because it’s 2023. Users don’t need to even know where the repo is hosted or whether the real meat is another hop inside.

Company “BCFerries”, an imaginary organization, happens to run the largest fleet of mobile DCs in the country, with each mobile DC being 6 HA racks, three on a side, dehumidifiers o-plenty. Engineers stationed aboard need to lob tickets and hot fixes on the go, and sub them for review when the mobile DCs get a good link, 30 min out of every 2 hours. Roaming 2/2/2tb node swaps spit with the stationary nodes when it smells the VPN, and then gets ready to go again.

Repeat that above, but say ‘Maersk’. I’m betting evergreen/evergiven is on VSS.

Enough examples?

Running a federated GL is conceivably a set-it-and-forget-it like a lot of federated stuff already is, and you debug the glitches and patch like normal.

Given the 5GLs I still run were all installed by VMware/terraform/chef/RPM, patched automatically with package promotion and watched for anomalies, it’s already negligible effort. Double nothing is …let’s see …carry the 0 …integrate the square …nothing.

HELL NO.

“May federate” doesn’t necessarily mean “must federate.” Your concerns could be met if they include the standard kill switch in gitlab.rb .

(Now show me the kill switch for the bloated crappy web editor)

I saw this and was pleased, actually. The relative opacity of containers makes them a validation challenge and hides versioning from standard tooling used for large host populations and/or enterprise.

Even if they sparkle.

Docker-dependent? It looks fantastic, but I have no containers in my home-lab – and it’s based on my time managing OS security for an OS. I’m stuck living vicariously through the rest of you, so report back often.

Hanauma Bay. My favourite uncle loved that place. He taught my cousin to swim there, in the ocean water, with the fish and turtles.

We want to go back because we miss him. Mom misses him dearly after his death. But we can’t go there while it’s crazy, and Mom’s on the decline herself. I think we don’t have a viable window to get there, but we’re hoping.

Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 19 social media channels:

Thank you for including this summary. It’s surprising how often that’s left out and it’s always valuable.

Sadly, it’s container-dependent, it seems. Also, it’s asking for supply-chain exploits and violating ISO27002 with pnpm, but for a PoC setup it looks excellent.

that’s a weak reason against violent protests. stronger ones are:

Non-violent ones are more effective, as per some study I saw a month or so back.

It s a blank page.

Literally.

Because holy fuck, Carter, learn a new word.

NTP

Network Time Protocol?

What I found, though, is you shouldn’t call the boondoggle cam a boondoggle cam any more than you want to call the cancer box by that name. TSA people with low blood sugar will act like they have low blood sugar, and they have way too much power for a group so provably low in value.

Due process seems to just be a recommendation.

I get a reward every two weeks.

I tailor my work commitment based on it.

"I can’t hear you. What’s your extension again?

It’s seriously the second question I ask on a cold call. If they really are my bank / etc , then they’ll give me that super fast. If they try to give me a number, I assure them I have it in the phone book.

So many scams derail when you’re calling back an internal extension from the well-known switch-board number.
