Holy fuck. Spot on. The fucking hand wringing about "Soviet block style" housing.

Some people in the comments didn't take it as tongue-in-cheek as I did. 😝

I thought this was really funny. That's a good collection of toe stubs.

There is a lot of stuff to learn to be good at python but I still love it.

I love this.

What's really annoying is getting this error when you're already on the latest version in the windows preview program.

Thank goodness for steam. I just do my controller config in there now.

(Side note. Buying a steam deck finally pushed me over the edge to try to do all my gaming on Linux. So far so good.)

Thanks for sharing! Pretty wild bug. Really commendable debugging.

I'm running Grafana Loki for my company now and I'll never go back to anything else. Loki acts like grep, is blazing fast and low maintenance. If it sounds like magic it kind is.

I saw this post and genuinely thought one of my teammates wrote it.

I had to manage an ELK stack and it was a full time job when we were supposed to be focusing on other important SRE work.

Then we switched to Loki + Grafana and it's been amazing. Loki is literally k8s wide grep by default but then has an amazing query language for filtering and transforming logs into tables or even doing Prometheus style queries on top of a log query which gives you a graph.

Managing Loki is super simple because it makes the trade off of not indexing anything other than the kubernetes labels, which are always going to be the same regardless of the app. And retention is just a breeze since all the data is stored in a bucket and not on the cluster.

Sorry for gushing about Loki but I genuinely was that rage wojak before we switched. I am so much happier now.

Do you post any writing online? I'd like to hear more. Your quotes and analysis were pretty poetic.

One small blessing of them being so technically incompetent is that there is no DRM, so you can just use yt-dlp to download whatever show you want to keep. It's just a small pain to do because you need to download your login cookie to pass to yt-dlp.

At my current company all changes have to happen via GitHub PR and commit because we use GitOps (ex: ArgoCD with Kubernetes). Any changes you do manually are immediately overwritten when ArgoCD notices the config drift.

This makes development more annoying sometimes but I'm so damn glad when I can immediately look at GitHub for an audit trail and source of truth.

It wasn't InfoSec in this case but I had an annoying tech lead that would merge to main without telling people, so anytime something broke I had his GitHub activity bookmarked and could rule that out first.

I thought that quote satire. Nope it's real. JFC. 😩

Something doesn't seem right about that.

You're supposed to work 40+ years to pay off a 20 year debt to society? That doesn't seem fair.

Also you didn't chose to be born, I don't think you owe anyone anything for having to grow to reach an age where you have agency over yourself.

This answer is so perfect and so pragmatic.

It's the thing I'd love to tell in the heat of the moment but always bungle the delivery.

I feel deeply the sentiment that I've been lucky but that's all it's been is luck. I don't think I deserve what I have. No one should have to scrounge just to survive.

Thanks for this.
