Friends.
Today I made a mistake.
I learned that NFS is not appropriate for application disks.
A mere backup job has brought down my humble private cloud.
Don't make my mistakes.
Learn from them.

What you're seeing is IO delay in Proxmox spike becuase of my poor choices.

“The cloud” defeats the purpose of the internet, and it’s becoming clearer every day why.

Hi Team,
You won’t be paid today.
We’re definitely not under water.
Please don’t go.
Cheers,
Founder
a crazy email from a founder to employees: Update on Salary Credit Hi Team, Salary won't be credited today. We're not calling it a delay anymore, it's a patience-building initiative. Remember, growth doesn't only happen in revenue; it also happens in waiting. Thank you for your continued meditation on payroll timelines. We're not just a startup. We're a movement. Regards, Founder & Chief

Gtfo microsoft
the xkcd tower of internet infrastructure but updated ai threatens to topple everything over, microsoft comin at it with the angry red bird, aws and cloudflare representing, on with a small singular pillar representing unpaid OSS devs holding up the majority of the stack. DNS near the bottom represents how fragle every is and depends on it. all built in top of the linux foundation. under that, is the undersea network infrastructure that holds up the entire tower, getting bit by a shark.

Paid for the product, stil got ads

Got irritated enough that I spent my weekend wiring together a three-panel Kitty term setup:
ncspot + cava + tiny gremlin of a script that yanks album art off Spotify API

If I can't have an experience without ads, fuck it.
I’ll build one myself.

why is activating a windows license thats tied to my personal ms account SO GODDAMN DIFFICULT
I finally get to a support link, and I get this nonsense.

They do everything they can to prevent anyone from getting support. Why they're taken seriously as a company, I'll never understand.

classic reminder weve been played for fools
by big IP
STOP DOING IPv6 • ADDRESSES WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO HAVE LETTERS IN THEM • YEARS OF WORK yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going bigger than 10.0.0.0/8 Wanted more hosts than that for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "NAT" • 'Yes please connect to 2001:500:2f::f. Just ping ff02::1%eth0' - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what networking tech have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the routers & switches we built for them (This is REAL network, done by REAL networkers): ???? ???????? ?????????????????? "Hello I would like to connect) They have played us for absolute fools
