The Downtime Project is a pretty interesting podcast that covers some large outages and discusses their post-mortem analysises. Worth a listen IMO, very interesting stuff and some good lessons to learn.

Crashing and burning (in a non-production environment) is an excellent motivator to develop necessary skills; being unafraid to break things and fix them when they inevitably break helps you get a deeper understanding of how the systems work, for what it’s worth.

Trying to get started with reverse engineering and binary exploitation by following this guy. My brain hurts, but in a good way!

I think this may more for acute vertigo, but have you tried the Epley maneuver?

Amazing work!

This appears to be a variation of the “standwich.” Please see the attached for an example.

I loved that book growing up and was so excited when the movie was coming out (on my birthday!)

To this day, that movie is the only one I legitimately walked out of. It was such a terrible adaptation.

Running an RKE cluster as VMs on my ceph+proxmox cluster. Using Rook and external ceph as my storage backend and loving it. I haven’t fully migrated all of my services, but thus far it’s working well enough for me!

Gorgeous cat…but where are the peppers 🤣

I actually, legitimately, laughed out loud at this one 🤣

Oh yeah…the sounds were something else lol. The technicians gave me earplugs for mine. It is quite a loud procedure strangely enough. The one benefit was that I was able to request the imagery they took on a disc afterwards and then I was able to 3d print my brain from the imagery!

Watching them do the chair was… terrifying… Just seeing the rigging they used stretch and jump up in 200lbf increments gave me sweaty palms.

I had to get an MRI at the start of the year and told them I had metal permanent retainers and was slightly concerned. They were like “Nah, you’re fine.” I was like “Okay, just please don’t steal my teeth 😬”

OSRS?

She turns into such a puddle on the couch

I want to try and create discussion about videos that may be less main stream. Video (specifically medium- to long-form) is my preferred type of content to consume, however I don’t have the ability to create my own content. !Videos@lemmy.world is great but as @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works mentioned below:

Posts that invite comments tend to get comments.

!Videos@lemmy.world doesn’t directly ask for discussion on the videos posted. I created a community, !whatareyouwatching@lemmy.onlylans.io, to try to bridge this gap. The idea is that you find an interesting video, you watch it, and then you post it with your main take-away or a question you had to try and foster a discussion.

Not sure if it is working, but that’s my own methodology to trying to increase engagement with content that I don’t personally produce.

Also, I am running a small self-hosted instance for friends, so my name may not be as “out there” as the larger instances, but I’m pretty sure that anyone can post to this community.

Back when COVID was in its prime, I was contributing CPU/GPU cycles to Folding@Home for protein folding simulations and working on a vaccine. Since then, I’ve reimaged my desktop twice. I should probably reinstall the BOINC client to contribute again…

Wow! That’s quite the journey! I wish I could do something like that. I bet it was amazing!

One of the best camping experiences I’ve had was when we took our bicycles to a state park.

To be fair, we drove there because it was about 4 hours away from us, but we thoroughly enjoyed the multi-use trail available at the park. It was so much fun with plenty of hills and wildlife to get the blood pumping.

I definitely want to go back and explore bike camping (or motor-bike camping) further.

Great photo, and I’d love to hear more about your adventure!
