Today I learned that going through preclearance in the US terminal of the Vancouver airport means that you are legally back in the US. Does that mean all the Tim Hortons in the US terminal are actually Canadian embassies?

Learned a lesson about @flox.dev today. The more stuff you have in a default environment the more likely it is that you’ll accidentally leave something out of a project environment because it’s already available. Won’t be obvious until someone else tries to use the project without your default env

Fortunately not, for a bit I was worried that the switch they were on got fried

After doing a bit of remote troubleshooting I can see that the machines are actually up on my home network, but none of the nodes or services are up on Tailscale so I'm guessing that it's something to do with the talos.dev tailscale extension

We lost power while I’m out of town and none of the nodes in my raspberry pi k8s cluster came back up. Now I’m anxious to get back and figure out what happened

There are signs in the men’s rooms of the Vancouver convention center that say that the urinals use non-potable water not intended for consumption and I’m very concerned about the sequence of events that lead to those signs being installed

Hope you like it! I’ve been really happy with mine and will probably end up getting bother at some point

After seeing this recommendation I spent a little time this morning deploying an Uptime Kuma instance on fly.io with access to monitor my Tailscale network and send notifications with Pushover. Can confirm that it is indeed delightful.

I’m going to be in Vancouver next week, staying near the convention center. Any recommendations for good places to eat? I’m open to trying just about anything.

Ugh, yep this was enabled automatically for me. I have Windows 11 Pro. I bought the expensive version and they’re treating it like a free product that they have to aggressively monetize with data collection.

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

This is very helpful, thanks! Really clarifies a part of the protocol that I only had a vague awareness of before

Very funny that the result has been the creation of non-deterministic programs that are every bit as inscrutable as humans

The layperson might wrongly conclude that ice cream sales cause shark attacks but the statistician understands that shark attacks are a grim reminder of our mortality and that we should enjoy as much ice cream as possible while we can
