Fuck no, ain't nobody got time for that! My self hosted stack has 40+ services. I lock them to minor releases (where semvers are used), deploy blind with automation, and fire alerts when breakages occur, which is thankfully rarely.
What you're suggesting works for small, very carefully curated environments. I grew past that years ago and doubly so when I had kids.
You think they did a good job of building a platform and communicating a message? Energizing their base? Pushing back against the GOP's instanity rather than normalizing it? They didn't even have a competitive candidate until the 11th hour for fucks sake.
I actually liked Kamala. And I thought Joe did a good job of appointing and trusting competent people in general during his tenure and letting things normalize. But really, they ran a piss poor election and shouldn't have let Biden ever claim candidacy for re-election.
100% agreed on this in the current state. But the new DNC chair is part of a more progressive and assertive variety of Democrats (DFL) from my home state in MN. Similar factions have been forming a growing coalition in the DNC and got him elected, and have started the process to unseat the existing ragdoll leadership.
I'm not saying we're converting the DNC to a party of Democratic Socialists, but the progressive factions are working together (finally) and capitalizing on the DNC's failings.
For those uncertain, it means that suddenly Johnson isn't so sure he has the votes to pass his agenda, and now the Republican party will meet behind closed doors to negotiate or intimidate members try to bring the "rogue votes" to heel.
I predict more and more votes in both the House and Senate are going to go this way as the rats begin to flee the MAGA sinking ship. As ashamed as Democrats should be of their performance and platform last election, Trump and Congress (and DOGE) have already done some deeply unpopular things. And I think threatening social security might be the straw (or in this case, the thermonuclear device) that breaks the camel's back.
The swing voters and non-voters, surprise surprise, it seems voted in ignorance of MAGA's very clear plans to destroy as much of America's institutions as possible. Institutions relied upon disproportionately by the Republican base and the ignorant swing voters. In my humble opinion, main stream media and social media needs a lot of the blame here for sane-washing last election cycle.
Now we get to see if the DNC leadership sees this as a natural pendulum swing and sits back and continues to learn nothing, or if the growing discontent in the party will continue to gain steam and the leadership continues to get pressure to change.
Hopefully the progressive element in the party continues their momentum. Getting the DNC chair and Schumer's recent blowback are glimmers of hope.
Much as I would love a true progressive party, in the current system I think we have to settle for a democratic party acting as a coalition of anti-Republican/MAGA factions until we can fix our fptp voting system.
From my perspective, F1 is supposed to be "The Pinnacle of Motorsports". Innovation, as long as it's safe and doesn't exclude the less rich competitors, should be encouraged and fostered.
Some of those things (like the fan car) make sense to ban, since they give an unfair advantage to companies with larger R&D budgets and expertise.
Others impact dirty air wash and seem like a good idea to ban to maintain racing safety.
But others, like the F duct and flexi-wing, just seem arbitrary? They seem like positive innovations with no major downsides for any team.
Personally, I agree. I think it more likely he uses the threat of leaving to bludgeon the team into making some significant changes.
Devil's advocate for a moment- he has clashed with several of Horner's decisions fairly publicly, and has disliked the car for 2 seasons now. 2 seasons implies the engineers are struggling to find and fix the true underlying issues. That can be very disheartening. Oh, and Newey left, Max very much respected Newey's work and seems to trust him implicitly.
I'm happy to chalk up Perez struggling to Red Bull struggling with the new regs. Max has been vocal about the car being nearly undrivable, and Marko's statements concur. Understeer at low speed and oversteer at high speed.
It truly feels like Trump is desperate to cement his place in history with a territorial expansion. I honestly think these seeds were planted by Putin to destabilize Euro-American (and NATO) relations.
It's old but fairly beefy. Most of the RAM is reserved for ZFS reads, but in reality theres tons of headroom.

I'll probably be moving this to a cluster of mini computers whenever prices look right, just for power efficiency.
Minus the storage the box cost me about $600, mostly in RAM. The CPUs were like $20 each, the mobo was about $150, etc
