You have no idea how hard I face palmed when I made a change request at work to reboot a server, and they were splitting hairs over rebooting from the AWS console and insisting I SSH into the server to reboot.

It's the same damn result!

These are the headaches being a Linux user on a team causes, same result in the end shrugs

MNT Pocket Reforms are being assembled

To defend against TikTok’s lawsuit, the DOJ must show Congress had compelling reasons that justify the ban’s burdens on free speech. “They’re going to have to show this is a real & actual security concern, not a hypothetical,” EFF’s @davidgreene told @WSJ. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/tiktok-sues-to-block-u-s-ban-6ec6e17f

Well I managed to get a step function deployed via terraform for the first time. Now to figure out all the BS that went wrong before I enhance the Crowdstrike automation, then have it tie to Tenable, and then finally a Jira ticket

Terraform is the bane of my existence. I am ranking it up there with 2D printers

Looks like Sony reversed their decision on forcing people to create a PSN account and link it to steam to continue playing Helldivers2. So maybe next stream I can finally play Helldivers 2, not that I don't like Fallout 4, but I can always come back to Fallout 4 later.

I may stream again tonight or at least Wednesday seeing how I feel this evening.

well as long as I don't feel like I need to go back to the hospital that will just be fantastic. On the good note I think that one trip hit my health insurance out of pocket maximum and I just have to pay from my HSA

Well I am mostly feeling better except for the tightness in the chest this morning at work. Cardiologist got back to me over the health app my doctors office uses. So I just have to call and schedule that.

I’m just getting food together and then I’ll be hopping on twitch shortly. My raspberry Pi will ping everyone here on mastodon when I’m live. As long as it didn’t crap out again 🤣. I really should move that to an AWS lambda function soon

I’ve gone from a size 40 mens pants in December to now putting on my old jeans from college that are a size 32 this morning!

I still have more to lose on my waist I think I can maybe shoot for a size 30 or 28 before I go to Vegas in August.

Waiting for my NAS to backup to S3 then I can work on my plans to install Pop!_OS 24.04 by @system76 as I’m doing a clean install to replace the 22.04 LTS I currently have.

I have to do some housekeeping on my workstation, like split the prior ZRAID 1 that I backed up to before I got my NAS. Plus clear the second NVMe that had windows installed when I once thought I would dual boot but never used it.

Basically:
2TB NVMe for /
1TB NVMe
2 x 2TB SATA

Total of 7TB storage

Well fuck me I changed credit cards a few months ago and forgot to update my Wasabi account for my S3 buckets to backup my NAS. So they suspended the account so I had to make a whole new one, and now just restarted my NAS backup on the Synology box. Well this is probably going to take about a week for the first backup as it’s a couple terabytes.

The impact of this legislation isn’t entirely clear yet, but what is clear: whether #TikTok is banned or sold to new owners, millions of people in the U.S. will no longer be able to get information and communicate with each other as they presently do. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/05/biden-signed-tiktok-ban-whats-next-tiktok-users

I have a bad gut feeling Trump may be in for a second term.

Last election there was not really any enthusiasm around voting for Biden, it was around "settle for Biden." That lack of enthusiasm is only going to grow into apathy I believe.

Unless for some reason he isn't allowed to run for President or there is a major shift in popular support, it may very well happen.

Unfortunately this is the side effect of consistently voting for "the lesser of two evils" apathy eventually sets in.

i tested negative today so i went to the mnt studio in the afternoon to work for a few hours (masked). it's weird but good to be back and solving problems. taking it slow. today i fixed a last minute hdmi issue that had been a showstopper for pocket reform shipping.

mntmn, 6 days ago to random

it's awesome that this youtube short (by @geerlingguy) about MNT Reform is closing in on 9 million views and 2500 comments. it's also weird/interesting that this doesn't translate into more interactions here or elsewhere, like youtube is kind of its own ecosystem

I think one of the coolest accounts I follow on all of mastodon is @mntmn and I check their posts daily as they are always working on something cool and interesting.

Just further proof why I like Mastodon more than my other social media networks.

Last night I hopped back into streaming last night and it was amazing to see my community was still there for me after two months of a mental health break.

It was really touching, and last nights stream was a hangout and just update on what all had happened with my health and my dad’s grippy sock adventures.

I’m going to get back to my cybersecurity and Gaming on Linux content next stream. Just grabbed Helldivers 2 and Fallout 4!

I’m officially my lowest weight since college. I did a major diet change and cut almost all processed foods, and I am primarily eating African, Moroccan, and Mediterranean dishes. That’s why there’s a sudden drop the past week as I started this as part of my Sephardi Passover diet.
It should also be noted I had to pause my exercising for a few weeks due to my recent health issue and seeing a cardiologist soon as a precaution.
