Totally forgot that I registered "fauxpas.guru" just for the joke of starting a fediverse instance at "social.fauxpas.guru".

I've been doing this whole ops thing for decades, and still I fail to check if maybe the application is slowing down because it's hitting unofiles and is starved of file descriptors. 🤦

Never thought I'd say this, but TOML is so much saner than YAML for config files. If you're starting from scratch and need a config file for your app, pick TOML.

Who knew that fixing a dishwasher could break a PostgreSQL instance.

Well, I think it's clear that we need a faster DB instance if we want to avoid getting hugged to death every time Linus posts something.

LLMs will make our jobs obsolete, you mark my words. If you don't believe me, just look at millions of truck drivers who are out of work due to the rise of self-driving cars -- just as it was predicted 10 years ago.

Nothing like spending the first really warm day of spring in your basement watching a faraway server fail to boot.

I've got the power! But there was also a loud boom, followed by an ominous flicker. It's still on, but I'm wondering if there's a blown transformer box somewhere nearby.

A joke from my 12-year-old:
Q: What is the difference between a stormtrooper and a constipated owl?
A: One shoots but can't hit, the other hoots but can't...woops, dad is listening.

Day 3 without power. :( The outage map is still looking very orange around my part of Montreal, so no saying when this will change. Sigh.

No power, no data at home. Send me some internets with Canada Post.

Like most of Montreal, I am without power this afternoon. Still have some juice in the laptop, but will probably have to turn off early tonight.

ChatGPT is hilariously bad at baseball rules, so I say we ban it because it's clearly unamerican.

Well, at least ChatGPT is just as wrong about this as most coaches.
