Hated Windows. TechTV had a download of day that "works on both Windows and Linux!"

"I don't know what Linux is but it can't be worse that Windows."

I've been on it ever since. That was 20+ years ago.

I honestly don't know how windows works.. I only ever used it for about a year and some change when I was a teenager in the 90s.

Trains when possible.

I've been riding motorcycles on and off for years. For the last 8ish months I've been riding one of those like city share electric moped/scooter things. It's a cheap Chinese NIU brand. For the size and state of infrastructure in my current city (Tbilisi) it's honestly the best way to get around.

I lived in Tokyo for years though. I would take a train network like that any day of the week.

In the development world, Microsoft is actually doing some legitimately good work since the end of the Balmer years. Back then open source was a cancer that needed to be eliminated. Now they have VSCode (maybe the most popular IDE at the moment), develop and release Typescript under an open license, and own github (still a bit of a mixed bag but they're trying).

“Let's say a product today is sold for $10 on Amazon with 'free shipping'. If Amazon is forced to unbundle the FBA fee from the product price then it would cost $6 + $4 shipping.

In the short term, this is going to bring Amazon even more money. They'll just accept both until a competitor comes along.

Certbot in cron if you're still managing servers.

I'm using cert-manager in kube.

I haven't manually managed a certificate in years.. Would never want to do it again either.

Definitely something smaller than a grasshopper.. Lost that fight a few days ago.

Yeah interesting idea. I can see it being useful for private enterprise implementations of gitlab to contribute to upstream projects.. I don't think it's possible to fork a public github.com repo to a self hosted github enterprise instance but it's been a while since I've run that and I don't remember ever actually trying.

It might make tooling easier.. I can see it being pretty easy to setup bi-directional comms with non-gitlab CI/CD pipelines doing this.

Really it might entirely eliminate the need for service accounts or whatever the gitlab equivalent of Github Apps is too which would be wonderful.

I still get nagged constantly to add a birthday to my Google account to make sure I am older than 13 or something.. To satisfy some dumb law I think. The email account is like 15 years old though. How could I be under 13 if it's that old?

Who cares. Just use it and enjoy.

node-0 node-1 node-2 ...

Everything runs kubernetes so the names are mostly irrelevant.

Years ago I worked at a company who named everything after WoW characters. I wished murder was legal in those days.
