@lukas Long story. :-) Felix is… not entirely happy with this project. :-)

Nice! Welcome @lukas!

First test of my Peer Calls instance, call.nfld.uk, went well! Need to stand up some monitoring for it now.

@xuu Ha. Neat. I did wonder. :-)

@fastidious CmdrTaco left a long time ago.

Well, I think I might be hooked. Not my preferred writing style, but, even knowing what coming, I thoroughly enjoyed the chapter An Offer and a Gift, a hundred or so pages in with The Blade Itself.

My fantasy gotos are last century; happy this was recommended to me.

@fastidious Figured, based on your alter ego. ;-)

@prologic Nor me, when it aired; gave up in the second season, as I recall. Might end up competing for top spot, once all’s said and done, none more surprised than me.

Same with Voyager. Enjoyed it much more as a ‘mature’ fan. ;-)

@prologic Got a bonus last year, and there were hints of it being an annual possibility. 🤞

Had a great performance review today. Hard to believe I was paid to wipe bums two years ago.

Extraordinary that I’ve managed to avoid DS9 spoilers for twenty years. Really enjoying this final season, so far.

@prologic Is it open source?

@thecanine It needs to be a public service. Like the actual telephone, back in the day. Government funded, appropriately, for required uses. And, to confirm that that’s the case, the code needs to be public too, absolutely.

publiccode.eu

There’s just too much at stake to leave this to market forces, informal communities (however well funded), etc.

@fastidious Isn’t this just game theory? Tipping as a universal concept has evolved to attempt to solve local, systemic problems, as you’ve hinted at, and no longer resembles that sentiment you desire in any of the countries I’ve ever visited; I’ve had to do that as an extra, on top of local custom, without exception, to the best of my recollection. A daunting task, as @prologic says!

Ah, my pod shows up twice now, post upgrade: one as seen a long time ago, and the other, seconds ago.

@prologic I was gonna say, I run afoul of those rules on a regular basis. 😅 And have now again! 🙈

@ullarah Not for me.

I’m running it now too. :-)

@prologic Agreed. But the details escape me. :-) I’m sure it would become apparent if I looked at it in the context of the ‘roll’. ;-)

Can’t remember where this one was taken. Vienna, again, according to the metadata.

@lyse Lovely. Really stormy here.

Looking forward to a fancy meal, with Granny here to babysit. 😁

@lyse Yeah, I just love it: the easy step through to mount (on mine), not having to faff with lights (other than turning them on when it gets dark ;-) ), and, well, the gears are much fancier and smoother than the ones on my older bikes.

I still felt it in the hardest parts of that commute – Leckhampton Hill climbs over 500ft(!) in a few miles along my best route – but it meant the difference between walking my bike up most of it and staying on the whole time. :-)

@prologic It was the source of tech news back in the 90s. But CmdrTaco left a long time ago. 😞

@movq 😳😩😭😱

Found some stinkers too, of course. 😂

@lyse That’s been a silver lining of my hardware failure: using an app associated with my newly-acquired Synology DiskStation to generate random playlists and rediscover old gems. My collection has been too big to host in one place for many years now, prior to this.

@lyse Yeah, not reality. :-)

Really forked out for an e-bike. French model. Don’t have the details to hand, but it’s worth half my current car! Such a good purchase, for commuting up a mountain four to five times a week. No wonder I’m so chubby, Mr DevOps now, not riding much or pushing wheelchairs lol.

Got myself an old Triumph secondhand for the kids’ trailer, and just generally leaving it in my light-fingered town. ;-)

My old Rayleigh Wayfarer, which I traded in a few years ago for almost twice what I paid for it(!). A good steed.

@lyse 🤣 Too right!

One shot. “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do you, punk?” 🤣

Yup. ✋ Regularly. More so this week.

(#d7uqfda) @news Speaking of which, sorry @l4yer! I completely missed your joining my pod; a very belated welcome to you! :-)

@prologic Just upgraded after… a week? Wow! This looks great! Well done, indeed, all!

@movq Same; daughter’s full of flu and barely sleeping. 😪😴

@prologic lol. Indeed. A bazooka in a knife fight. 🤣

@prologic Neat! I mean, really, I should be using HashiCorp’s Vault, to keep me sharp in the day job. ;-)

Just read this yarn again… My command line workflow is rubbish compared to many of you. 😆 Going to look at using the official Bitwarden command line client, and maybe some aliasing… Wonder whether I can use bw get password to seamlessly pass secrets to commands?

It doesn’t happen very often, mind; I use keychain to persist my SSH agent. Still… H’m. 🤔

@prologic lol. Is this close to yours then? A daily pick me up. 😁

@will I self-host Vaultwarden, then point the various Bitwarden apps (or my browser, if that’s all that’s available) at it. Auto-fill functionality in general does the rest. 😊 I’ve only had one passphrase for years now, and any breach notifications I get are dealt with in seconds.

You can create an account on mine, if you want to try it out. 😁

@stutteringsteve I stepped out of IT from 2013 to 2019 to do care work. I’m now pretty much full-time devops. I feel your pain: what the hell happened?! 😂

(#kztamfq) @stutteringsteve There’s a lot of info out there, obviously, but I found this blog post particularly useful when I was trying to see where Nomad and Kubernetes best fit: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/nomad-kubernetes-a-pragmatic-look-at-choosing-orchestrators

@prologic I’m heading to bed soon, but I think I’ve now challenged you to a Correspondence match. :-)

@prologic Ha ha. Cool! I’m jlj7; we should play!

@prologic Who won? Are you on Lichess?

@prologic Lost my Jitsi Meet server to a hardware failure. Decided to try Peer Calls instead: call.nfld.uk

Not sure my config is top class yet, but it seems to be working. :-)

@lyse Loving this. Reminds me of home. :-)

Ta both. :-)
