  Scavengers Reign is really good. I think my favorite part is the soundtrack? Visually it is Fantastic Planet meets Studio Ghibli.

  I do think we need to steer the conversation to a different word like mega-datacenter. What we need people to understand is the SIZE of these mega-datacenter behemoths is outrageous. It's not just "datacenters use water" it's also "datacenters the size of small African nations need oceans of water". Datacenters have been around for decades and people should understand that their phones - analog and digital - have needed datacenters the whole time. And all of those d...

  This new property management company we got forced into wants me to install a phone app to do a house inspection and I just told them that for privacy reasons I'm not doing that and can they provide me with a non-phone-app way to do it. We'll see what they say, because frankly this is corporate neoliberal bullshit. I do not think they have any ability to force me to install a goddamn APP to do a house inspection.

  i gave Lanterns a try but there's just something about these superhero shows that use ultra-realistic settings that really turns me off. i lasted 10 minutes and switched to Rick and Morty.

  I know I've played a good set when I'm still humming the improvised melodies after it's done.

  Nice surprise to see the cast of Superstore do a full improv show, and doubly to see Johnny Pemberton performing live... his character is the best one in Fallout. #ImprovCon

  One of my biggest problems is not looking at something because I am afraid of how I will react to it. Email is a huuuuuge issue for me.

  Pleased to meet Brick the Jumping Spider! I thought she was dying, that I had lain her to rest in the soil. But she revived and now sits underneath the succulent leaves. Named because I found her injured on the patio bricks, barely moving. She let me hand her a stick to climb, she grabbed it and moved onto it immediately but then remained motionless. I put her in this pot, something was moist on her head, so I thought the worst. But about an hour later she started moving around the pot, then...

  Struggling today. We have a neighbor who leaves his house at 5AM. He spends 15 minutes slamming his truck doors and leaving the driver side door open with the key in the ignition so it's constantly BEEP BEEP BEEPing and it's been ripping me out of my sleep in a way that I cannot get back to sleep. Not to mention the gas fumes through my open window that is open because we have no AC. This all happens directly under my bedroom window. I don't know what to do. It's...

  I've got a new article up on the Resilience in Software Foundation (RISF) website! This post is an introduction to the concept of practicing together in teams and points to some resources for learning more, including the RISF event this coming Wednesday where we'll play through one of the games! https://resilienceinsoftware.org/news/11517597 #PracticeOfPractice #Expertise #ConnectiveLabor #CommonGround #SRE #Resilience #Reliability

  My Monteverdi platform TUI view uses the tcell go library and it recognizes Ghostty with no problem, but today I discovered that mtr complains it doesn't recognize xterm-ghostty. I see there's some consternation about Ghostty using its own terminfo and I feel like going ... well sonny, back in my day we had to echo terminfo into the amber 80x20 terminal CRT character by character with a lit match just to get BACKSPACE to work! Anyway, yelling at cloud gets me nowhere. To get mt...

  Hey everyone! I just got a rejection from a long interview cycle. It's weighing on me very heavy right now, my migraine is making sure of it. Currently I am feeling emotionally drained and today I don't feel like I can keep doing this for much longer. Yet I must persist. If you know of anything having to do with Site Reliability, Observability, or Incident Management... please, please, send it my way. I will take anything at this point, junior roles, mid-level, I will do anyth...

  It's time to throw the line out again. I have been working in SRE for 13 years. I am a specialist in Observability, Incident Management, and DevEx. I have also managed teams and been certified in observability, agile, and unix operating systems. In June of 2025, I was suddenly laid off. I'm still jobless in my seventh month of trying to find work. I'll be completely honest, I don't know why I can't find a role, I'm either over- or under-qualifie...

  Week three and I'm touching prod. And it just feels normal and great and there are good SOP docs and I'm being guided and partnering with people. Compare this to my toxic as fuck last job where they didn't let me do shit because everyone was jockeying for power but expected me to "read between the lines and pick it up" and it took three months to get me admin and NINE MONTHS before they'd allow me to go on-call. What a nightmare. Grateful to be...

  Just tested on most recent raspbian (debian on raspberry pi) linux and Copy Fail for sure fucks up 'su' pages in memory, but the command simply becomes unexecutable. It does not drop me to a root login because it cannot execute the 'su' command. Indeed the '/bin/su' file itself remains untouched. Reboot and it gets cleared out of memory. But I think "every kernel since 2017" might not be exactly right. Definitely make sure you te...

  Roofing air compressor and related noise since before 7AM today. The new neighbor is having them put down black roofing tiles directly on top of the light gray ones. So not replacing any roofing, but adding onto the existing roofing. With the darkest most sun-absorbent color possible.
