@beezly You could do with some longer gearing on your car in Gran Turismo. You are loosing a lot of time on the straights due to hitting the rev limiter

@chrisridd People in a local Facebook group have warned people going to see it, to be aware that the local cinema only has 4 hours free parking, which the film goes over with the trailers and everything

[Jeppe Fihl-Pearson @Tenzer]

@siwilkins Is that to make Twitter seem more active amid the exodus of users?

[Jeppe Fihl-Pearson @Tenzer]

@elithrar https://t.co/k5ozQ7lhUe seems very related here

[Keith Wynroe @keithwynroe]

I can't compete with this

@jogbert @MichaelsCloud @CityFibre I was talking about City Fibre specifically, but I understand they don't always use telegraph poles.
The telegraph poles should otherwise make it cheaper and quicker for them to roll out their network

@chrisridd You can't unwrap it until Dec 25 though, right?

@sevanjaniyan I sometimes prefer the aging " Web Admin" 😉

[Jeppe Fihl-Pearson @Tenzer]

@sevanjaniyan The term "DevOps" has lost all meaning to me. It's almost a decade ago since people started using the term to describe all sorts of different things.
I tend to describe myself as an Infrastructure Engineer instead.

@RussInCheshire Will there be tofu?

[The Oatmeal @Oatmeal]

Rise again

[Jeppe Fihl-Pearson @Tenzer]

This broadband provider has some seriously funky packages available

[Jeppe Fihl-Pearson @Tenzer]

@chainbear And Latifi, it's probably worth noting as well

@jogbert etcd was down and we weren't able to get it up again.
We had luckily been preparing to migrate the services from this self-hosted cluster to instead run in AWS EKS, so we already had some experience with EKS and went for setting up a new cluster in that

[Jeppe Fihl-Pearson @Tenzer]

This thread has a lot of good examples of how systems that otherwise have been set up to be redundant, can suddenly fail and be very difficult to get up and running again

[Jeppe Fihl-Pearson @Tenzer]

We weren't able to get the cluster back up again due to the circular dependencies and lack of understanding of where the certificates were used, so we instead ended up setting up a new cluster and migrating to that instead. Luckily we could do that in a few hours

[Jeppe Fihl-Pearson @Tenzer]

The person who created the certificate was no longer in the company and there was hardly anybody who had been in the company for that long, so it was just a waiting time bomb we had and only knew about when it happened
