SAD! I remember when he arrived!

The glow in the lower right is zodiacal light like I thought! I've seen it myself when out in very dark places with good seeing. Cool to see it from space too!

Most of the sub-components are struggling to break 99% uptime, and they're failing at different times. Thus the rollup is under 90%.

Do these outages affect you? Only you can tell, because only you know which feature-mix affects your specific github use-cases.

Making a giant roll-up stoplight where if ANY subsystem is not-green the top level shows the worst not-green anywhere.

We've known for 20 years that in any sufficiently complex system, something is always failing somewhere. The difference here is presence on a PUBLIC DASHBOARD.

*puts on SRE hat*

So. By one measure, GitHub has a sub-90% uptime. This is making lots of luls. However, I'm not going to drag them for this because the cited source is doing one of the classic monitoring mistakes:

Bed Bath & Beyond agrees to acquire The Container Store for $150M Stores will rebrand as “The Container Store / Bed Bath and Beyond” and the Elfa and Closet Works units will anchor a home services division.

Don’t forget CEO Marcus Lemonis is a Nazi, so let the boycott continue of anything BBB buys. This is expensive real estate that The Container Store leases and will certainly be their undoing if the crypto investment doesn’t do it first. Know your retailers before spending!

Guess what happened.

This is the onion but it's what i've been saying! (While we're at it, calling the Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown' and Captain Marvel 2 'The Marvels' were also silly decisions!)

2% drop today? The bargain hunters will buy it up within 3 days, assuming the market manipulator in chief doesn't do it himself.

It says we are in a period of market volatility when anything less than a 2% change in index price is background noise.

THIS.

Infrastructure as Containers
Infrastructure as Config
But never, Infrastructure as Code. Too 2010s.

The call for the coming May Day needed three whole No Kings protests to even have a *chance* of succeeding. Which we got. This is how the organizing actually works!

"the MayDay Strong coalition has been organizing events for over a year."

Over a year ago, calls for GENERAL STRIKE NOW! were *common* around here. Planning for those takes a long time, with practice protests. The Minnesota strike was opportunistic and advanced buy-in a lot.

Crowd control person here.

Minnesotans line up at about 1 every 4 feet, on average (center to center). This looks to be more dense than that.

This march looks to be 10 to 12 people across at a minimum.

Downtown St Paul blocks are about 400 feet, so it's 1000 per block minimum.

OMG

Get your C-bills now!

Where you could feed a family of four for under $10 if you shared drinks.

Health tip: I've muted a whole bunch of words in the Harry Potter fandom ages ago, and I've never regretted it. I only know there is a Thing happening due to subtoots, and not the OCEANS of outrage and policing I'm sure is happening beyond my awareness.

I just realized that since I'm no longer working in tech, I can killfile "HP". Excellent.

Midnight at the Well of Souls, by Jack Chalker. This author had a whole *thing* I really should have been older for.

In the understanding that it must be a boondoggle:

Have a completely accurate and constantly updated 1/12-scale model of the Twin Cities made, to be toured by horse-drawn trolleys. The model would have living foliage and working lights.

Nuclear programs are like dandelions. You need to destroy them every year or they keep popping up.

or something.

I see someone is going for the Ender Wiggins strategy.

#TradishTuesday falling on St. Patrick’s Day is a good time to talk wiwíla man. They are tricksters in Lakota stories. You start missing things like those favorite earrings! It's a lesson to pay attention and move with awareness.

We don't get 10-16 inches of snow. We get tornado warnings.
