PacketPushers podcast with me and Scott Robohn now posted. Fun discussion, thanks Scott! We discuss data center network operations and issues. How latency and AI are driving data center network design, why the most persistent issues can be non-technical, etc.

I have a few ideas on that but:
- they don't involve AI
- they are illegal (currently)
- the ones who could fund them would certainly be against this.

What do you think about OpenClaw Josh? And what do you like about it? What can we do with it that can't be done with agents that operate inside editors?

Transforms is such an important feature in #infrahub. Bringing the data transformations closer to the data creates a cleaner boundary between all the tools in a way that makes it easier to manage schema updates and overall software upgrades.

Transform infrastructure data into ANY text-based format: configs, API payloads, Terraform variables, documentation, etc. Query with GraphQL, transform with Jinja2 or Python, version with Git.

The pattern is international Drew, I can offer local examples. It's how criminals work especially in politics, always trying to limit the exposure in desperate damage control tactics that always fail to hide the obvious. It's up to the voters to focus and remember. To remain intelligent.

This share from a linkedIn post has a lot of meaning to me. An app that i have been working on for the past years that contains the things that helped me with #longcovid #severeasthma & #pacing is now live in the app store.
It helped me getting to where i am today.

What is strange though is that usually in such situations, people around the person in power would make sure he doesn't go on to such unhinged displays of bigotry and hatred. That doesn't seem to happen in this case. Maybe it did during the first term. But not this time.

There are no numbers to support that, you don't need it to be sunny all day and you have conveniently ignored quite a few weak points in your argument. But I am not engaging you. Go ahead and get a nuclear submarine or even an aircraft carrier while you are at it. Good luck supporting it too.

He is a sick person. The problem is the position he is in. He belongs in a mental institution. The ones keeping him in office belong in jail.

Exactly what I have been saying, it's not the tech, it's the business intent.
But I love how he goes on and explains why people will eventually figure out it's just a tool. The thing is that intent is far worse than people think.
Also notable: this is unscripted (between takes). He is great.

Also if more brave I think. On my case I thought I am getting in trouble no matter what I do so I might as well go bold. It's not always fun, results follow perhaps a random pattern but I keep my ear on the mumble meter to be safer (if she mumbles too much while interacting with me it's not safe).

I wholeheartedly wish you good luck with this. I started doing the same with my wife. Even told her that if you don't answer, it's a yes.

I see. In that case what the other guy said as well. SELinux is a pita, good thing to learn but I wouldn't force it on a windows user, they would only see the down side. I think Ubuntu desktop is the best case for this scenario, there's just enough distance in the UI experience.
