Looks amazing. Thanks!

Thanks for this. The rules it describes were what I was thinking but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

With that number of cat toys it makes me think you really care about your kitty.

We spoil ours as well.

I would add Alertmanager to your stack if you haven’t already. It’s pretty tightly integrated with prometheus. There’s some canned alerting rules based on predicting disk space full in X number of days. We wire Alertmanager to Pagerduty.

I’m running Grafana Loki for my company now and I’ll never go back to anything else. Loki acts like grep, is blazing fast and low maintenance. If it sounds like magic it kind is.

I saw this post and genuinely thought one of my teammates wrote it.

I had to manage an ELK stack and it was a full time job when we were supposed to be focusing on other important SRE work.

Then we switched to Loki + Grafana and it’s been amazing. Loki is literally k8s wide grep by default but then has an amazing query language for filtering and transforming logs into tables or even doing Prometheus style queries on top of a log query which gives you a graph.

Managing Loki is super simple because it makes the trade off of not indexing anything other than the kubernetes labels, which are always going to be the same regardless of the app. And retention is just a breeze since all the data is stored in a bucket and not on the cluster.

Sorry for gushing about Loki but I genuinely was that rage wojak before we switched. I am so much happier now.

Spot on!

I was really turned off by the aesthetic but the game is awesome and it’s grown on me.

Roborock S8+ with the dock is awesome. It’s a straight upgrade from the last gen flagship Roomba.

Way better mapping and battery life.

Thanks for this!

Man that Time’s article seems so out of touch to me. I couldn’t finish it.

It’s just funny to see a 2013 take on millennials before I was even old enough to realize the shitty world we inherited from the Boomers.

I thought that quote satire. Nope it’s real. JFC. 😩

I’ve used Ubuntu on many occasions but tried PopOS since last week.

It’s surprisingly good. Lots of ergonomics over Ubuntu. They have a version of the iso prepackaged with Nividia drivers.

Most surprisingly, after some install busted my sound devices (they stopped showing up), I discovered PopOS has a system refresh button that saves your home directory but reinstalls the OS to a fresh state. Very convenient.

Praise the Sun

It means “I feel the same way you do and would have said it myself, so I acknowledge and applaud that you said it first”.

Thoughtful take! Ditto.

My dad is a cabinetmaker. At 34 I can reflect on my life and I have never seen higher quality cabinets than his. Nothing comes close.

I remember he used to complain that people could get cabinets cheaper at Walmart so he lost more and more business.

I think with wage stagnation, people can’t afford custom cabinetry anymore. So it seems insane to us to spend that amount. But you can imagine that with the price of lumber and the cost of skilled labor that 7000$ comes quickly.

Obsidian is so so good.

I don’t even mind to pay for their sync service to support them. You can even encrypt your vault (notebook) with your own key.

That doesn’t make sense and you know it. It’s stupid and vindictive.

This answer is so perfect and so pragmatic.

It’s the thing I’d love to tell in the heat of the moment but always bungle the delivery.

I feel deeply the sentiment that I’ve been lucky but that’s all it’s been is luck. I don’t think I deserve what I have. No one should have to scrounge just to survive.

Thanks for this.

Same but with the addition of a Brewfile to manage installed apps/CLIs (supports both Mac and Linux)
