SWE: <clutching pearls> but the code slop! SRE: <exhaling smoke> you haven't seen what we have seen. slop is as old as time, maybe older. some of us believe slop is how the Universe began. we make your slop run, or a bot's slop run, it's all the same problems, different day

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Updating PS modules + OneDrive = unnecessary PITA. Seems like a problem that should have been solved by Microsoft long ago. There is a Github issue thread going back to June 2021 that is still open for this issue.

Passing along the DevOps wisdom that @cavorter.bsky.social shared with me to the junior at my new job. I’m thankful to have had so many great mentors over the course of my career.

CasaOS seems neat, but I am a bit confused who its target audience is. If you're interested in self hosting/homelabbing, it feels like something you would grow out of quickly. If you're not interested in self-hosting, then you probably wouldn't be interested in something like CasaOS.

"Refurbished" hard drive prices have increased significantly over the last few months. 12 TB drives used to be ~$100 on Amazon & eBay. Now, they're around $130-$150. That still feels cheap for such a large amount of storage, but definitely a bummer for anyone currently building out a NAS. #homelab
