While many folks say this email is the best part of the year, for me, it's the best part of two years. While I wasn't able to maintain #VeeamLegends status for 2025 H1, I'm proud to announce my acceptance into the #VeeamVanguards program! Thanks to the usual suspects! @veeam.bsky.social

Proud to be a Canadian today!

What a disgrace!

I have never seen Canadians so united. However please don’t lower yourselves. Remember part of this is a simple provocation, mud slinging never works. Instead make plans and toughen up but never lose your dignity even in a bar brawl.

Trudeau has annoyed me about a few things and in my view there should PM term limits but hey at least he does not spray orange tanning goo on his face.

Proud to he Canadian today. My Prime Minister is in Kiev. Easy to be a coward and a bully when you believe you are strong and all around are weak. Bullies beware your stupidity and ignorance allows you to underestimate the strength and the anger of those you are trying to push around.

Your absolute worst enemies are the friends you lost. They know all of your weakneses.

.... are you fucking kidding me right now

Travelling today, did something I have never done before, bought local airport swag.

What does it mean when you don’t drink alcohol? It means you wake up at 6am Jan 1st thinking wow I am feeling a tad tired but good and ready to roll!

I had a fine one when my arch linux after an upgrade lost the entries in /boot 😅. On the bright side after I can add ‘deep knowledge of the Linux booting process’ to the resume 😀

Beyond imagination!

Simply not happening I should have said :)

So I was about to throw my computer out the window and then take a sledgehammer to it. Creating a Bridge in KVM for a full bridge network was simply happening. Right at that moment a light shone through the window and down from the heavens and my google search typed Macvtap... and all was good :)
