Pickaxing my way thru the virtualization/orchestration mines since the turn of the century. Playing, mapping, and hosting old FPS games since before then. Lapsed trombonist and vocalist, but still performing (vocal only) on request of certain 5-year-old.

Neat! This reminds me of a time last year when I read an article about www.mcmiddleearth.com ... despite not having played Minecraft in yonks, I had the impulse to jump on that server and see if I could dead-reckon myself out of the Shire and along Frodo's path.

Did you know I wrote a set of command line tools for Quake? Did you know they are totally free and open source?
Once in a while someone will throw a few bucks my way for these tools and every time it makes my day. 😃

The current round of bsky discourse has a real sad and exhausted here-we-go-again feel doesn't it? Anyway, a thread here that IMO expresses well one aspect of how these tone-deaf antics are frustrating:
Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.
If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.
Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.
