Manjaro shipped Plasma 6 today, so the fleet is seeing a BIT of an uptick in Manjaro update traffic.

This is why we want to keep deploying Micro Mirrors until they're all only doing 10% capacity on a normal day. update mirror traffic tends to be really spiky, and with rolling distros like Manjaro the spikes are not on a regular release cadence.

If you're in the United States and have spare egress capacity laying around in a DC... we have both 1G and 10G appliances ready to ship.

Manjaro released @kde Plasma6... I'm sorry for @kwf's micromirros' load graphs

@ozone89 @kde so what you're telling me is that I should keep adding more of them?

@ozone89 @kde Ah... yep. I see what you mean now that I'm at my desk.

Fun demo of the difference that galvanizing makes. The left stack of nails are bright finish, where the right stack are galvanized, so the zinc kept them from rusting when I left them out overnight

@apicultor no, that's the heat activated adhesive on the bottom half of the galvanized nails

These solar storm numbers make me wonder for a moment how much fun I'd be having this weekend if I had picked a normal hobby like #hamradio instead of building Internet infrastructure in my free time.

Does anyone remember the MMO hacking game where you start with like a comically slow computer and you dial into other player's "computers" and can poke around in their file system, delete logs, download warez you find on their computer to add to your own toolkit?

It was from like 15 years ago

@baloo You can see why searching for this has not been productive

Good morning. Millie would like you to all know that throwing the ball is very good for your health and will probably make you live longer. So you should throw the ball; just to be safe.

So I've got this empty concrete pad on the side of my house.

It used to have a rotted out 12x24' shed on it, but I demolished that last fall and figured I could do something better... 🧵

Day two of framing my new shed. I woke up this morning and can still move, but I'm beginning to suspect that I don't want to quit my job and start framing houses for a living.

@jrward I'm taking "unlimited PTO" to do it

One wall panel done, second layout done. Now we just need to cut some studs and do it again.

@kwf@social.afront.org avatar

The second panel went together much faster.

The site supervisor is sleeping in my office.

One of my neighbors came by to help me with the big lift. So we've got the tallest wall up in the air; everything from here on is lighter.

Alright. I found my limit. It is too hot and going back outside after noon was stupid. 🥵

@kwf@social.afront.org avatar

We're up to a big J, which is exactly where I was hoping to get to today since this means the walls aren't all only held up with 2x4 braces and can kind of stand on its own.

The nice thing about driving a pickup truck is that when I tweak the shed design at the last minute and end up short a few 12 foot boards, I can just pick them up at the Home Depot.

@zorinlynx I've even towed things with it and filled it with a yard of dirt. It's very novel

@CenturyAvocado I can't even imagine how you load a 2x6x12' in those.

@ricci the wankpanzer wasn't made for cargo.

We had some fog roll in this morning, so I took the opportunity to put a quick 90 minutes into framing another wall panel before it got hot today.
