ok. apparently delta's support infra is entirely broken right now. page loads break, the app is deadish, and the phone lines say 4+ hour queue times.

delta's flight disruption refund page is broken, so of course that's no help.

also - these modern "full-size" bars are bullshit. blah blah fucking shrinkflation blah. how are we supposed to maintain, let alone grow, our type 2 diabetes numbers without old school candy sizes?!

and we've closed up after a total of 112. beat last year by 3, but still off from our record of around 200.

just hit 100 visitors, and there is still 40min left to go. one of those may have been an amazon delivery.

plus you can cook on it like a little griddle!

could be worse - you know, like building with xcode...

it seems like just yesterday when i'd have to have a script to loop through hosts and do some stupid task on each one with some poorly managed credentials. ah, the good ol' days.

i do that sometimes, yeah, but it is odd how rarely i even need to access a host at all. every time i think i have a reason to do so, i immediately come up with a reason not to do that.
the closest i come on a regular basis is when i exec into a pod, and that just doesn't feel the same.

i just did this with all my old imacs! now instead of a bunch of imacs laying around collecting dust, i have a bunch of imacs with linux laying around collecting dust. but at least that dust can access SSL sites!

this was surprising, but very welcome. i miss the lego building competitions and board game nights of the past, so i'm glad to see this sort of thing coming back. not all of us want to spend our evenings with cocktails and EDM.

took a big chunk of the sanity of two of us on my team to figure out that what we want isn't possible and, apparently, undesirable by the project itself.

in today's case, trying to customize the S3 prefix that fluentbit writes to. turns out lots of other people also want the kubernetes metadata available when constructing that string like how it is in tbe Cloudwarch Logs output.
