Infrastructure story, because Cloudflare is in the news for some reason, I don't know I wasn't paying attention: I used to work at Canonical in the 2010s, mostly doing infrastructure. One day we were at an off-site and some whitepaper by Cloudflare was up on the projector, where they claimed […]

Once a Pokémon has been turned into data in a pokeball is it the same Pokémon that is rematerialised when you throw the pokeball or is it a recreation of the Pokémon including memories

I was having a conversation tonight and I discovered other people don't always see code (even if they can code) as playful and creative, I wonder what things make it feel like that to me? 🤔

Waaaahsam

NOTAM (notice to air mascs)

Anyone know of anywhere that's hiring that might be interested in a Billie? I am based in Germany and enjoy Rust, XP and Agile environments. Do a bit of public speaking now and again.

They are called test doubles because they you'll need a drink

The clean code book would have something to say about that Romeo and Juliet quote about the rose

I am so tired

I actually quite enjoyed doing a talk again. Not something I thought I would say, I had gotten pretty burnt out on them

`git stash -m "this approach fucking sucked but im not emotionally ready to give up on it yet`

God it must be hell being the appointment person at a doctor's that specialises in ADHD

I am so tired of the news being shit. Not like, shit as in wrong, like shit as in bad.

Azure, for when you want half broken implementations of services filled with misleading docs that will price gouge you whenever possible

One really interesting thing about open source is that incentivizes creating small manageable projects. So you get things like libraries, but the creation of l

All polycules eventually develop IT infrastructure

Learning some useful ceph commands this weekend, namely "ceph osd tree" for listing where the osds are, and "ceph device ls" for listing what device osds are using

[CW: humour/kink] If obedience is pleasure it does not imply that pleasure is obedience, it could be a non-invertible morphism

If a team doesn't do their own ops the people delivering the ops must provide a way to get the services they need from ops in a way that ops can change entirely how they deliver that service without the team that needs those services changing anything. That means crds, manifests, Apis or self […]

You can test your infrastructure easily if you break it into reusable modules and test them.

Your pipelines should use the same bits of code to provision and run on every environment. Otherwise your pipeline isn't validating that the code works in a safe place. So this means no "dev, test, stg" branches/folders

Deploy prod first, then add the other environments after, without prod you have nothing

Whenever I see an AI thing using grok I know that that thing is explicitly for Fascists

The majority of open source projects are run by 1 person - a developer, the majority of closed source projects are run using teams. I don't really have a conclusion but isn't this weird, given that everything in the world runs on open source

The key to sustainable software delivery is to simplify as much as possible. Strip out everything that doesn't have a clear benefit from the delivery process. Accept that people are fallible and no additional of more humans is going to fix that because they are also human.

No, it is not darkest just before the dawn, that's not how orbits of spherical bodies and light sources work

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.

I often feel like authenticator apps are a bit of a cognitio hazard if you have ADHD, like ooh let's pickup the shiny distraction device and look up or type in this code and not post on mastodon

[mh-] Haha, love a bit of a morning panic attack

Deutsch lernen macht Spaß!

Hummmmm, I am very much in the mood to buy random electronics things, but I don't know of any shops in Berlin...

I think I start needing to build abstraction layers for my hardware when I work with embedded rust, so I can easier have test harnesses on amd64 etc

Made a little take meds reminder with an pico2w pico, a little tilt sensor and a buzzer and an enclosure. Fun. Code is shite tho

Anxiety super high today for no reason

I enjoy learning German

This is cool https://youtu.be/yq0_ApTwNH4?feature=shared

Hierarchy in programming, like hierarchy in society, is to be distrusted

The more I see of large organisations the less I think that it's a good way to achieve anything.

The history of computing is the history of enthusiasts and academics inventing powerful and cool things, as individuals and small teams.

I can see why sigstore got popular, the workflow of docker trust bloooooows

Uuugh, signing helm charts is a pain, they are using a deprecated gpg library and trying to read an old format gpg key, so you have to do this whole dance where you export the keys. Annoying

I wonder if people see some bits of the internet as old fashioned...

[ukpol] So labour passes a bill enfranchising 16 year olds, then ensures none of them will vote for them by banning them off a bunch of sites... Lol

ah makes sense it an anti-abortion swerf group is behind the porn game censorship...
