I'm going to pause posting on here whilst I work out which direction Twitter is going given the recent shenanigans.

I'll be posting just as infrequently as usual over on https://t.co/nC6z81HPYQ - hopefully I'll see you there!

Hey @NOWTV and @EEHelpdesk- every September I get bombarded by you both with offers to cover the cost of watching the football for 6 months. Now that #cricket season is here, everything is full price!

What's up with that?

If you're in the #UK and affected by the #TwitterLayoffs, @ContinoHQ are looking for people to join our teams in #DataEngineering, #Azure, and #AWS (SC Cleared only).

Get in touch if you want to know more.

Good luck with whatever you move on to.

@KitMerker Paging @QuinnyPig - I have a suspicion he has "feelings" on this :D

@ripienaar @heroku Amazing, thank you (as always!)

[Proffalken is migrating to Mastodon @ProfFalken]

Sooooo, with @heroku's free tier gone and no sign of it coming back, what are folks using for #free, low-bandwidth #container runtimes with a database backend available?

I don't even know where to start with this...

@darkuncle Semicolons aren't missing at the end of each line (I even do this when writing python, then realise it's not needed!)

DNS resolves correctly after every update

@thinkl33t @jonty Asking the important questions I see!

[Proffalken is migrating to Mastodon @ProfFalken]

@tall_tim_n @jonty Yes! Amazing idea!

[Proffalken is migrating to Mastodon @ProfFalken]

@jesslynnrose Only 4? I'd need longer than that I think!

[Proffalken is migrating to Mastodon @ProfFalken]

It gets better, because I've been tracking this all day and the update from 1140hrs this morning has *literally* just shown up on the website:

[Proffalken is migrating to Mastodon @ProfFalken]

Me: Ah, everyone is out of stock of that switch, I'll pay @Ubiquiti the extra to get it shipped next day

@dhlexpressuk: We've got your parcel and we'll deliver it today

Me: Great! That's exactly what I wanted!

@dhlexpressuk: Oh, wait, lol, nope, not today.

The expedited postage was almost as much as the device itself, and when I try to connect to a "live sales agent" I just get told that no one is available. No phonecall, nothing.

[Proffalken is migrating to Mastodon @ProfFalken]

@jesslynnrose I would absolutely listen to this.

[Proffalken is migrating to Mastodon @ProfFalken]

@MW1CGG Fwiw @PlatformIO_Org defaults to 9600@8N1, for their device monitor command, unfortunately most of my devices are 115200 so I have to remember to change the baud rate...

Is this the most capitalist @what3words address in the UK?

[Kit Merker @KitMerker]

SLOs explained:

computers break, and that's bad.

computers working together break less, and that's good.

waking up the team for every broken computer is bad.

SLOs let you notice when the computers might start breaking too much, and that's good.

@jesslynnrose https://t.co/iNpbEBix2I and https://t.co/dcRna1TmRD are my go-to lists - just random enough to fade into the background but musical enough to listen to on random

@Rucknar You're a true gent, thanks!
