Lion's hare? That's weird.

Did you mean "lion's share", but couldn't write?

that make

that made.

Our foray into automation is:

• meross light bulbs about 50%
• maybe 4 amazon echo flex

We like that we can turn off the lights, dim them or change colour, with a request. But beyond power blinds and tile tracking and dogs and cat, our eventual switch is gonna be shallow.

I need a replacement for the Echo Flex units that'll work with HAss -- voice interaction, music and calls, etc. I'd like to AnyLocate the cats' Tiles and show where they are in the house. We run airlock protocol for the patio access to ensure that cats never get out, but confirming they're not hiding under the bed would really reduce the anxiety around that.

30 years ago we called this Beepilepsy. You fail History.

could not find it in themselves to deal with it

.. without losing their principles. If Biden chose to keep his own principles, I accept that.

If we defeat evil but become evil doing so, we haven't won.

You could use the immense amount of privilege you have (being in the top 3.5% of people in the world with food, water and electricity) to lobby your government.

Considered lobbying the government as a single human. Went to work instead since I cannot dine on privilege and need to eat.

anymore money.

1. any more money
2. money anymore

You can't straddle the lanes: you have to pick one.

taught? Is spell-check your next epiphany?

I've been yum-cronning since 2002. You guys still do it manually?

We don't compare trauma. This isn't a competition.

I mean, I get it. Anarchy looks so great sometimes. But I like roads and schools and hospitals and firemen; and we need to.elect someone who ensure those persist.

And then it's down to choosing the least-worst bunch to do that. And that's how it's been for decades.

So, ask yourself: is changing out this regime and losing a bit of healthcare and a bit of infrastructure and a bit of other things that make life livable here, is that a reasonable exchange?

If you say yes, I respect you. If you say no, I respect you. But we can't vote single-issue: we have a choice between leadership packages, and we need to evaluate them as a whole. The yanks lost their election by voting single-issue, and ended up allowing the worst choice ever to win.

So vote carefully.

2024

New building code for rentals stipulates one room must be capable of cooling to 26c or lower. This building was built to that code.

So we have AC. It's fantastic.

Such kneejerk.

WHAT DOES THE MATH SAY?

As a US citizen you have right to work in most of those countries.

Nope. Absolutely none of those appear to allow working with just a US passport.

Without that right, it would be a different story

... Because I think it is.

But, to be fair, I only did a little searching. If you have a reference - like a page from the gov of Denmark saying "Yanks are cool: come in and get to work" - I'd love to be proved wrong. My nephew needs to see the world, and working is how it's done.

Hey. If yanks get get to Canada, and get in, I'm sure we'd love to have ya.

There's a catch: if you're not fleeing persecution, you're gonna need a skill. It bumps up your score on the big calculation they do, and if you can keep doing the skilled work you may one day afford to live somewhere other than winnipeg.

to say about children at a summer camp being washed away

Will no one think of the children?!?

Every time we move house, my office gets smaller. As we have a rule where the work room needs to be self-contained, my space to stash old NICs or HDDs that I need to shred is contracting.

Oh noo; forgejo is still not connected? I had high hopes. What's the timeline?

(Honestly, but for the wonky CI spec language I may have switched already)

Company A permits federation of project 2 with contractor B who agrees. Oh look! No need to add 21 people to your AD. Contract done? De-fed.

Google feds with GH for AOSP dev, because it's 2023. Users don't need to even know where the repo is hosted or whether the real meat is another hop inside.

Company "BCFerries", an imaginary organization, happens to run the largest fleet of mobile DCs in the country, with each mobile DC being 6 HA racks, three on a side, dehumidifiers o-plenty. Engineers stationed aboard need to lob tickets and hot fixes on the go, and sub them for review when the mobile DCs get a good link, 30 min out of every 2 hours. Roaming 2/2/2tb node swaps spit with the stationary nodes when it smells the VPN, and then gets ready to go again.

Repeat that above, but say 'Maersk'. I'm betting evergreen/evergiven is on VSS.

Enough examples?

Running a federated GL is conceivably a set-it-and-forget-it like a lot of federated stuff already is, and you debug the glitches and patch like normal.

Given the 5GLs I still run were all installed by VMware/terraform/chef/RPM, patched automatically with package promotion and watched for anomalies, it's already negligible effort. Double nothing is ...let's see ..carry the 0 ...integrate the square ...nothing.
