  • 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.




  • conservatives have been really good at pretending to not be.

    I don’t think they’ve been good at that at all, nationally. Most of their federal reps have been pretty clear from trending and statements how they think Canada should go with a Trump presidency, for instance. Our regional cons are doing a better job at only reluctantly rolling over at every turn; but they show that convincing reluctance and fist-shaking first to disguise it.






  • It’s on Apple TV. This means I’ll unfortunately never see it.

    When I last quit apple TV as a person possessing no apple hardware, it was an excruciating, maddening process that took three attempts over two days to finalize. I didn’t learn anything about apple I don’t already know, but I did have some choice words for that one fuckwit family member who says “lol, just go buy apple stuff” without understanding his role in this.

    So, for those reasons I choose not to go back to apple TV, ever. I can’t mentally afford the rage and anger that surrounds the termination process. And it’s my choice not to view it on pirate streams or whatnot, should it become available. I have no judgement over those who pay top dollar just to pay top dollar to view apple TV streams, and I have no negative thoughts towards those who find it on the open seas. Neither option is for me .

    It could be fantastic, though, and I hope it is.







  • My mom ‘retired’ with ‘much much less than “millions”’. She stopped working at 75.

    She lives in a small $2/sqft/mo rental with dodgy power, asbestos in the walls, windows stuck shut, people staggering past the fuse box all night, miner bees in the walls, and shit Internet. It’s a coastal town with no access by roads - just ferries - and minimal services. It’s a half-day to get there, really, or an hour’s flight.

    you may need to experience your version of ‘doable’ before you commit to it.
