Well that says everything I need to know

Worse than Fosters?

Oh wow that's kinda harsh 😂

In the future, with gadgets galore,
My scales greeted me at the door:
“Happy birthday, old friend!”
(Then they snarked at my end…)
“Try a salad — or maybe four!”

The future is here; my bathroom scales just wished me happy birthday

Heard Kara Swisher tell a joke that Tech Bro is short for “technically broken”

I can’t stop seeing the full version everywhere. 🤣

And it features some waffling from yours truly!

I know, we've already covered this in this thread. What I'm telling you is that unless you're up early then you now cannot get a code for Nero (probably because all the commuters take them).

And surprise surprise, Monday rolls round and there are no codes available again. You've made it impossible for those of us who don't commute to get a Nero code now.

A (tangential) shout-out to the great folks at @siderolabs.com for creating such a great OS which is so easy to use.

I wrote a little blog post about how I reworked the authentication flow for Kubernetes in my homelab:

dickingwithdocker.com/posts/pinnip...

#homelab #kubernetes #proxmox #clusterapi

So you have objectively made it harder for those of us who aren't up at the crack of dawn to get a code.

Unsurprisingly I managed to get a code this morning; my guess is that that's because it's the weekend and therefore the London commuters haven't taken them all early in the morning. Unfortunately this doesn't help for my my day off where I take my son to Nero every Wednesday.

So I have to set an alarm for 0600 when some Nero locations open in London in order to actually get a code now? Because as I said, there have been none available at 0700 every day so far this week.

My guess would be that you now drip-feed the same number codes out over the course of the week? Nero codes have all gone by the time I've checked at 0700 every morning this week so you've actually made it harder to get a code now, not easier.

Hey @octopus.energy, what's up with the change to Octoplus free drink codes recently? It's impossible to get one now (even if I check very early in the morning).

No rush! Just wanted to make sure you didn't miss them :)

@ediri.de hey Engin, would you mind checking your DMs? I sent you the photos I took at Rejekts in London.

We've found a home labber in the wild!
Hello from #KubeCon Kubernetes on Edge Day with @glitchcrab.bsky.social and @kimmcmahon.bsky.social :)

Hope to see more of you tomorrow. 🎉

A glass of champagne

@rejekts.io is absolutely the fanciest tech conference by a country mile

I fail to see the problem here; it appears that you have plenty of additional room in your case.

I think it's optimistic to think that's theres only the _potential_ for excess. I'm at Rejekts and excess has already occurred 😂

Potential? That's optimistic.

Walking that ice cream off 😅

You're all the way down in Greenwich already?!
