It’s pretty easy to pick the social media teams copying and pasting their tweets here. Can you spot the issue in this one?

I’m not a millionaire tech bro, so I could be completely wrong on this, but hear me out. Sending your lawyers after your community doesn’t feel like a winning strategy. www.404media.co/automattic-a...

Tired of manually converting Python projects from "requirements.txt" to modern "pyproject.toml" to use with "uv"? I built a tool that does it in one command. dev.to/danilop/mode... #Python #DevTools #DevEx #OpenSource #UV

This was Mount Gambier’s Banksy moment, but the council can’t see it.

Australia Post, maybe try sending it to Fyshwick next.

I hear engineers complaining about Kubernetes being a tangled mess of YAML files. I don’t know what they mean. I just experienced the pure joy that is using terraform to deploy Apache Airflow with a helm chart where I overwrote the default auth class with inline python in a heredoc block. #devops

DNS Normal Scapegoat

A few years ago Qantas completely screwed me. I bought fuckqantas.com and redirected it to social media search results of people expressing their frustration. I feel like now is a good time to do something more with it. What do you suggest?

“I’ll be eating shit off the biggest spoon you’ve ever seen. Nobody’s seen someone eat like this. It’s amazing. People are saying I can’t believe he ate so much shit. You just watch. I’ll be eating so much shit.”

TIO complaints had 8 week delays about 6 months ago. Now it’s 11 weeks for a human to look at it. No wonder telcos DGAF anymore.

Building LEGO is like working on a car. There’s always a few bits left over at the end. Just put them in a container in case you need them one day.

Is it just me or does it sound like Cloudflare new business model is running the toll booths of the internet? blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-2...

In Canberra the labour market is so tight data centre operators are employing kangaroos to protect their facilities at night.

For all the racists protesting immigration across the country today, if you don’t like it, leave!

I hopped on the bus. It was packed with high school kids. One of them in a priority (elderly/disabled/pregnant/etc) seats got up and offered me his seat. I’m not that old! I declined but the kid didn’t sit back down. For the next few stops he kept looking at me awkwardly. #getOffMyLawn

Not something to brag about AWS.

Today will be a busy day for @simonwillison.net. I look forward to reading all of his analysis after I get some sleep.

Dear AWS, now please do the same for EventBridge and Step Functions.

Covid killed customer service

This video confirms that Ferðamálastofa should sponsor @olafurw.com as a tourism ambassador. He sells Iceland like no one else can. www.youtube.com/shorts/5aeE5...

14 for me too. I transited at a further 5 airports on the list, but I’m not counting them.

The report fails to mention the error rate for humans.

I left twitter the day Elon walked through the front door with the sink. For similar reasons I don’t read or link to substack. Why? www.engadget.com/apps/substac... If your newsletter is on substack, you support this. If link to substack, you support this. If you read substack, you supporting this

Chris Kohler makes great content. This one on how companies handle data breaches is a bit too accurate. www.youtube.com/shorts/bBKdR...

On my flight tonight there is a guy watching Happy Gilmore. I don’t know is sadder. Him watching it or me recognising it after a few seconds.

Can you fax it to me?

I blame a lack of MFA

The Daily Telegraph should be outraged about the misapplication of the law.

In a test a German ICE train ran at over 400kmh. During a test run a quarter of a century ago, a train ran at 210kmh. That was the fast train in Australia. Passenger services can run up to 160kmh. Australia lacks the political will to build high speed rail. www.deutschebahn.com/de/presse/pr...

My parcel is in beautiful Oakland California. I wonder how far it is from the Pandora building. I’m pretty sure @romanmars.bsky.social would know exactly how many blocks it is.

Easy, fighting with Telstra. I received thousands of dollars in credits over the years. All of them deserved, except the ones that weren’t.

If you follow evil people, you’re part of the problem.

Domain registrar advises price increases: Due to rising registry costs, fluctuations in exchange rates and general inflationary pressures, we want to inform you about an upcoming price change for multiple TLDs effective 2nd July 2025. The Australian dollar is strengthening so we now pay more 🤯 1/3

Today the triffid is gone 😱 I’m very concerned about its whereabouts. If anyone in northern Canberra has seen this plant, do not approach and contact the Dept of Agriculture immediately!

Dropping my youngest off at Canberra airport today. I think this is their plane just touching down.

This post confirms I’m officially old. I read this and immediately thought “there is no way I’m searching my browsing history with anyone, except hundreds of ad companies and data brokers. I don’t get why anyone else would do it”.

Good morning AWS Summit Sydney!

Tech check done. All set for my AWS Summit Sydney talk on Thursday.

After watching @vivaladirtleague.bsky.social’s latest video, I realised I’ve been doing consulting wrong for the last 25 years. FUCK! If you want a shitty version of Rich i have some spare capacity. youtu.be/hTwf9lsFObQ

About to head to Sydney for the AWS Summit this week. This will be my first time speaking at an AWS event. If you’re around, let’s catch up.

Telstra, the largest telco in Australia, is increasing their prices. This is Telstra’s second price increase in less than 12 months. They’re jacking up their cheapest plans by 50% with many seeing increases of around 10%. www.telstra.com.au/exchange/tel... 1/3

Reading the details of every tickets is boring. Wouldn't it be great if your support agents could find a summary of any solved ticket by scrolling to the bottom and reading the comment? I used Amazon's Nova model to summarise tickets. Learn more in my post at www.proactiveops.io/archive/summ...

Didn’t anyone bother to tell Pete soldiers don’t go off to fight in culture wars?
