Northern English bearded geek who cooks, eats and bores people about cars. Same handle in lots of places. My work related tags are #DevOps #SRE I guess. mostly I debug #AWS shenanigans and try to figure out why bits of the internet are broken.

I'm not great with faces so if you hit follow please have something in your profile has I can work out who you are.

Staunch LGBT+ ally.

I'm considering converting the old laptop I use as a hinge server (Plex, media, few other bits) from Ubuntu to Linux and then running all the services in containers on

Is this daft?
Curious to use one of the container native base OSs

Hmm, everything I read about Flatcar is geared to cloud machines but I specifically want to run it on an only local machine. They're may be adventures

If you are the person who abandoned a tent full of crap at EMF: We are going to find you.

You have enraged a group of people who enjoy puzzles and suddenly have a lot of free time.

Run.

@jonty I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.
If they turn out to be up my way, please do come and stay when you visit.

2 days is not enough to recover from
My wrists and ankles hurt too much for swim training that I pulled out after the warm up. Listen to your body.4 nights camping and 4 days standing takes it's toll.

If you've got footage from #emfcamp #NullSector, please send me links!

Watching the lasers from the control booth is fun, but I always love seeing what it's like from the audience's perspective too.

@gsuberland @jtruk I had no idea this was your first time DJing in the wild

@gsuberland @jtruk it went very well

@gsuberland @jtruk do you have somewhere online I can snaffle your long mixes? MixCloud or a fedi equivalent?

I had a blast DJ'ing at #emfcamp on Sunday night. Went very well considering it was my first time doing it in person instead of on the internet.

@jtruk caught this absolutely incredible slow motion footage during it, which might be my favourite EMF shot of all time. Charles, Rob, and Dimitri really nailed the effect timings. phenomenal.

@gsuberland @jtruk he was editing that on the dance floor

I had the lovely opportunity to talk about my generative art projects at ! Embracing the variety in each and every project is very important to me. That's why producing a new series (for example for my Patreons) can become quite the challenge really quick! So, how do create 50 unique t-shirts when screen printing is not an option? Check out my talk!

@robotarms do you have data for what drinks sold when and such? I would like to do an graphing please

Another mildly experimental #solargraph
This was a SolarCan Puck I tucked into a plant to hold it. Left out for 2 days, but blown onto the floor at some point. I think the wobbily bright streak is the sun on a windy day.

Hang on, so Rebel Moon part 1 was just assembling the cast?

Working with Microsoft Azure is like banging your fingers in a fridge door. Even using it only to consume API endpoint is a Kafkaesque rabbit hole of mismatching and confusing terms,
terrible docs, leaky abstractions and smug branding.

In so many places it's a thin glaze of "cloud" over the top of shagnasty aging "enterprise" software and janky UI.
Never let anybody, especially Microsoft, tell you it's anything but a tyre fire balanced on a floating garbage patch on the sea of pain.

Geeks, any thoughts on home mesh #wifi kit?

  • I don't want anything that has a SAAS component/subscription to it
  • I've a 3 bed semi - does not need to smash through lots of walls
  • Ideally the mesh points would hve USb so I can power other things off them and reduce my plug us.

What's all this 4/5/6/7 stuff about?

Follow up - is this article https://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-mesh-router,review-5191.html full of shit of should I just buy their best value recommendation the TP-Link Deco XE75?

I didn't really catch the path of the sun, but I've not had a photo this sharp from a Solarcan Puck before.

I didn't manage to fit https://hachyderm.io/@coldclimate/112512932209525390 or the other input devices in the car to bring to swap shop. They're too interesting to bin, of anybody would like them let me know and we'll figure it out. I'm in Gateshead.

Who the fuck targets a public hospital with a ransomware attack?

Firstly, as the British Library demonstrated, public institutions are NEVER going to pay.

Secondly, holy FUCK those people! In addition to having no prospects of ever getting a pay out, I hope we throw the full weight of our intelligence services behind ruining the rest of their worthless lives.

@mattb once you're exploited and encrypted, you're as fucked as if it was targeted

coldclimate,
@coldclimate@hachyderm.io avatar

@mattb that's true, but I guess it depends on the level of backups etc.
