Welp. It's official. #Redis is no longer #OSS

While I wasn't a contributor to the core, I presented on it dozens of times, talked to thousands, and wrote a book about it.

I probably wouldn't have done any of that with that kind of license.

Very disappointed.

I see this about 5x a day. My dog has personal space issues.

We need a GitHub issue bot that responds to comments about project abandonment/death with this article.

You want to do be a solid?

I'm stupidly close to going over a few thresholds on Printables.

If you've got an account over there, I would appreciate any downloads or likes but especially on these two models:

https://www.printables.com/model/184727-print-flat-and-fold-case-for-raspberry-pi-zero-2-w

Part of this to stop hovering right below badge/award levels and I'm also very curious what kind of push the Fediverse has for this kind of thing.

I published a blog post on #Valkey at AWS.

"#Redis broke with the community that helped it grow and left them stranded. This community is now unbound and will continue to use and contribute to the project as they have always done, and with more freedom. "

Off to Austin for @TexasLinuxFest!

I’ve got two (very different) talks:

The first ever conference talk on #Valkey and one about container Linux (featuring #BottlerocketOS and several other great distros).

After Austin I fly directly to Seattle for #OpenSourceSummit where I’ll be at the Valkey booth Tuesday to Thursday next week.

If you’re around at either event let’s connect!

My first article in #Fedora magazine on moving to #Valkey has been published!

You should check it out if you're currently on #Redis and looking to move to something with an #OpenSource future.

Interested in #Valkey and want to help the project with a non-code but super important contribution?

There is an open call for colour pallet submissions:

https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-io.github.io/issues/55

This pallet will be used as the basis for all sorts of things: the non-placeholder website, tee-shirts, merch, giveaways, booth decorations, etc.

linux_mclinuxface, 11 months ago to 3DPrinting

I've been toying writing this blog post for a while but the final nail in the coffin was a rather mellow dramatic video about #3dPrinting and open source.

I'm not mad, I'm just deeply disappointed. #opensource

The opposite of the word "automagically" is "manumundanely"

linux_mclinuxface, 6 months ago to random

I've got 20+ years of software experience across all parts of the stack. I've worked solo, at fast-moving startups, and currently work at one of the largest tech companies in the world.

Despite all of this:

I hear about an unfamiliar piece of software. I google the name of this software and find the website devoted to it.

About 8/10 times, I can't tell from that website what the software does based on the first page.

Who are they writing this stuff for? If I can't 'get it' who does?

linux_mclinuxface, 1 month ago to edmonton

Super interesting video about #yeg and #yyc. A few tidbits:

1. they're both the same size as Nashville or Raleigh but twice as dense.
2. LRT in Edmonton is more riders than SF Muni or Max in Portland
3. Calgary's LRT has higher ridership than SF's total system (Muni + Bart + CalTrain)

🤯

(I was a bit annoyed by the attitude of "Amazing, Alberta isn't as bad as we believed" over and over, but they were at least open minded)

The co-habitation of Americas Got Talent shooting along side #SCaLE21x sure is surreal.

My talk about immutability starts in 15 minutes in room 212. Come by if interested!

linux_mclinuxface, 2 months ago to random

Now that #Valkey is public, I'm also excited to say that I've taken a new role working on the project full time.

This all happened extremely quickly but I'm really pumped to help build this community of open source contributors and users across organization.

(Also I get to talk about HyperLogLog once again!)

linux_mclinuxface, 2 months ago to random

I’ll be at the AWS booth from 3-5 pm today at #SCaLE21x . Swing on by and say hi!

(3pm and 4pm, I’ll also be giving Bottlerocket demos if you’re interested).

linux_mclinuxface, 1 month ago to Canada

Has anyone in #Canada ordered a #FrameworkLaptop? I’ve been toying with the idea but I’ve recently had issues with importing much less expensive stuff.

Did you have to pay duty and fees if just ordering direct?

You need a #Helm chart for #Valkey?

You got it.

New year, new possibilities!

In this thread, I'm going to track the conferences I'm going to and talks I'm giving.

Note: this may be out of chronological order.
