Manners. Maketh. Man.

Yes.

You let people see your eyes so you can talk and put them at ease. What are you, a cop in Alabama whose authoritah someone needs to respect?

“You can ask, sure. Let’s go back inside.” where the cameras are and it’s illegal to solicit or beg.

There was no cash-drawer in there, right? What kind of party was it?!?

… and calling out people who aren’t.

But, be safe. There’s a lot of people on the edge and may be so frustrated they may throw hands.

Phone books from outside my region were available at the library; that place where they store a consolidated collection of books for just anyone to sign out and use.

Emotional? No. Rational.

Use of Ai is showing as a bad idea for so many reasons that have been raised by people who study this kind of thing. There’s nothing I can tell you that has any more validity than the experts’ opinions. Go see.

Is there a word missing in that question?

In 1994 Neil was at a signing at my university campus. It was a big to-do. My friend, a big fan, came for a signing and whispered a few words.

Suddenly Neil is vaulting the table trying to choke the living shit out of my friend. Friend’s backpedaling, eyes wide, Gaiman’s face a rictus of rage and fury, and then many people jump in and slow it down

Friendo booted, things calm down, minimal mention in the uni rag. Never learned what was said, but now I suspect it was a pretty badly-kept secret for a long time.

“Thousand points o’ laight” – Bush; one of them. 2001 was a thousand years ago.

Welcome to like more than 50% of the world

But it’s the bottom 50%. And, in 100 years, it has fallen to 50%.

Trending is good.

Yeah. A gov; be it the UN or a country.

Having worked and then contracted to regional and Muni govs, and worked for dotcoms, I can tell you one of them follows way, WAY more of the regs than the other.

It’s like transpo & highways vs private roads and rail: one of them is way better-maintained when there is a comparison.

I think the cause isn’t as important because, for all of them, I think, the solution could be the same.

Take one small bite of that huge daunting pie, and get the ball rolling. Then take another bite; do something easy. And then another. And now you’re off.

I have tasks lined up for yeeeeears I think. It’s daunting. I do it a bite at a time.

Please, for the love of god, look at other things instead of Ansible.

Definitely do openTofu for infrastructure and deployment, but for configuration of VMs please learn about puppet, saltstack, chef(cinc.sh) and especially mgmtConfig .

Ansible, by comparison, better matches what we were doing in 2002 at 1/10th the speed, and it’s like pascal levels of wordy.

Learning about options and finding one that works well for you will often give you a much better experience than fucking Ansible.

If you do abandon all hope, though, then go ahead and do Ansible; but remember if you do: there are better options, and hating Ansible doesn’t mean you hate automation.

How about no?
