Site Reliability Enby🏳️‍⚧️🏁🔦📈🐺👗😷

Fucking wonderful. I get COVID on a work trip, then get laid off while still recovering.

Who needs an SRE? AWS, GCP, all the usual stuff you'd expect. Immediate start, obviously. US-based, either remote or a company that will pay relocation to a blue state (any non-swing-state is fine, other than VA or NH)

DM for CV. Tell me who you work for first for the version with unredacted history, or just DM a listing for me to apply to, let me know if you want to give you as a referral or not. If you have a redacted version I will of course provide a full one directly to the company on request.

Standard stuff: Have green card. Absolutely can not get a security clearance.

Edit: Thanks so much for all the support so far ❤️

@vbabka @oleksandr well, "ob pen'" means "against a tree stump" -- so you just have to fill in the most suitable verb. Like "praise" or "congratulate." ;)

@oleksandr Sounds too much like "ob pen' babku".

@micheal I'm not at liberty to share -- just someone's resource with some kind of kernel statistics. I can't tell you more, because I don't think I can easily install any software that can open gopher:// links any more. Other than, maybe, Emacs -- and I'm not installing Emacs just to check out a gopher link.

Someone, non-ironically, sent me a gopher:// link today. 👴

Inbox 90 is the best I can do today. Considering I started with over 3,100, this is not too bad. :)

Why do recent kernels require so much twerking, to execute Suspend and
Hibernate Successfully? If you are Lucky!!

"Overlord tech fund" sounds a lot more sinister than "Sovereign tech fund."

I am amused that "sovereign" now means some kind of cross between "independent" and "self-sustaining" when it literally means "overlord."

@m I guess you did specify "grid scale" -- so those do use swamp coolers predominantly. Even then, evaporated water doesn't stop being water, so it is not being "consumed" if it came from a flowing water source, as opposed to an aquifer.

in the areas where water is abundant (like here in Montreal), evaporative cooling only consumes filters.

I still see this emphasis on water consumption as misdirected when it comes to data centres. Making and transporting the servers, hiring technicians, etc -- all of it has a much grander impact on environment than water cooling.

@yura @Codeberg it's just a read-only mirror for convenience.

@m nuclear power plants don't "use" the water. It's just a coolant and is usually taken from the river, lightly filtered, and then immediately returned into the river. It would be the same as claiming that hydroelectric dams "use" water.

The datacenters, on the other hand, usually make use of municipal water supplies -- and often return that water back into the municipal source (since it's still potable, just warmer).

In general, I am perplexed why this is referred to as "consuming" the water -- it's still largely the same water of the same quality after it's been used.

@Dio9sys I believe because it's two plates separated by electrolyte and then rolled up like a pastry. Basically, the same reason strudels or maki rolls are cylindrical.
