Praise whoever included dataset snapshots as a feature in TrueNAS, just avoided losing a ton of files.

Been so busy I forgot it was Dragonchat's 3rd birthday on November 8! Happy belated birthday, and to everyone here thanks for being a part of it <3

Dragonchat has welcomed 7 new users in the last week. Where'd y'all come from?? Also, welcome!

2am. Managed to duct-tape things back together enough to where I can revisit in the morning. Ugh, why does Proxmox make things so convoluted. Also IDSDMs are the worst.

Me: “Wow I’m free tonight, let’s play some games.” Homelab server: “What if I eat my install disk instead?” :dragngrimace:

Had to kick the tires on Dragonchat, something got stuck. Should be back up now, apologies!

Found some new friends on the roof of this small skyscraper! (The rest of the city is fine... probably.) A raffle sketch from the fantastic @BlurTheFur ^.-.^

Rawr, dragons! Hope your night is going well! Dragonchat is officially on Mastodon 4.4.3, AND is on a brand-new vm! This means we can finally close the book on the "oops no more storage" problem from last year, hooray! And now we shouldn't have any more major downtime for a while ^.=.^ There […]

Dragonchat's gonna go down in a few minutes! Get ready!

Rawr, dragons and dragon lovers! As you may be aware, Mastodon 4.4 has been out for a bit! I've been doing some prep work behind the scenes, since this is a more major bump, but we're getting close to upgrade time! Thursday (8/21) beginning at 8pm MDT, Dragonchat will be going offline for a few […]

Dragonchat's been super quiet on my phone for months. Finally realized an update turned off notifications for everything ^.=.^;

DERG HAS FIBER INTERNET IT'S SO FAST :dragnhappy: Hardest part was cancelling the old service. Had to spend 15 minutes convincing Comcast/Xfinity that yes, I do want to cancel. No, I don't need a "special deal" you just found. Just cancel. No, I already got the other service. No, I don't want […]

Mastodon 4.4 just dropped. Gonna be some big backend changes, oof... Might have to schedule some downtime soon and migrate everything to a new droplet.

Me: *Orders 4 of an item from Amazon* Amazon: *Sends 3* Me: Hey, I'm missing 1 item. Amazon AI bot: Let's fix this! You can either have a full refund or 4 more. Wat.

@KarmatheDrago Rawr! Welcome! ^.=.^

Guess who finally got scheduled for a fiber install? THIS DERG! #fiberinternet #xfinitysucks

Dragons continue to rawr as the rest of the internet falls apart :3

I'm now the main point of contact for redis at my job. I know approximately one (1) thing about redis. Who put me in charge??

Devops question time! I'm (once again) attempting to learn how kubernetes works. I've got a 3-node environment set up on my homelab (1 control plane, 2 workers). --- To my understanding, if I wanted to connect to an nginx pod, I would need a ContainerPort, a NodePort service to point at that […]

Curse whoever designed the Surface Book. Not only having to replace the ssd and battery, but now a display ribbon cable that couldn’t handle being unbent. Haven’t been able to join discord calls or streams for two weeks :(

I think the ssd in my laptop is a little worn out...

*Disassembles Surface Book* *Tries to look up repair steps, on Surface Book* …Oh.

Next up for Dragon-ification: This little guy! They show up on the announcements widget, and really should be a dragon ^.=.^

For the last day of #macromarch let's go out with a thunderous bang! The thunder of course being me standing over more and more of your city >:3 Comm from a few years back by @blockmanthree ^.=.^

Rawr, dragons! A while back I ran an informal poll regarding Bluesky and account bridging (see the post for an explanation on how that works: https://dragonchat.org/@talon/113998068188953568) The results were pretty neutral, unless you like cookies XD However, since I've had a couple dergs ask […]

Imagine, if you will, a wyvern. Then imagine the wyvern doing a biiiig stretchy. Imagine those big wingies stretching across the entire room. Imagining this had no purpose, congratulations!

Work: “please delete and rebuild this VM. Nothing important is on it, so don’t back it up.” Also work: “Hey all our important configs are missing from this VM you rebuilt, we need them. Also it’s mission-critical.” #devops

It's St Patrick's Day! Don't worry about wearing green, I've got enough for everyone~ #MacroMonday #macromarch#macromonday Comm from a few years back by @CatTinyPaws ^.=.^

Me, to work chat: “Hey I’m updating this service, it will be slow for a bit.” Person, replying 10 minutes later: “Hey there’s a problem, this service is running slow” Me: :dragnupsidedown:

It's still possible to have conversations at eye-level during #macromarch, even if Zig has to get creative... Comm from a few years back by Mestiso on Bsky ^.=.^

Dragon Affirmations :dragnowo:

We're kicking off the festivities and giving the people what they really want: BEANS! #macromarch with @kurrikage's good boy Denali <3 🎨: @P4wSized!

I've been at this company for over 2 years and only now discovered that the "T-shirt size" field on our tickets refers to how big of a project it is XD

🎶When you're 13th in line or the start of the rhyme🎶 That's M or A
