Eh, I don’t have to eat it.

If Tom Skeritt wants to watch, Tom Skeritt gets to watch.

I don’t know why but matching Uncle Davids, in matching shirts, with matching pudding is exactly what I needed today.

That’s actually the area I currently work in, though not banking specifically. We do financial software for small governments. All the software was written in the 80s and 90s and we’re babying it along well into the 2030s in all likelihood. Those old systems require very specific environments which we’re now trying to emulate in the cloud. It’s fairly specific at the end of the day. And because this small government segment is currently undergoing consolidation I know what we see is the norm.

Thankfully I just have to maintain the cloud infrastructure and making it as reliable and secure as possible.

I don’t like living in the future as much as young me thought I would.

Remember the funky 70’s?

I would say you can’t separate the two. It’s a natural extension of Gall’s Law, the simple system that works is the stack.

If this is a whole genre of cat pics, I must see more.

You know when users complain about the lingering bugs, unexpected slow downs, and slow delivery of new features caused by tech debt (even though they don’t know that). That’s them caring about your stack, whether they know it or not.

A modern take of the full english. You’ve got your beans, tortilla instead of hashbrowns, red buffalo flavoring in place of the tomato, ranch as a stand-in for sausage, and the self-loathing fills in for the black pudding.

He’s named after Laszlo Cravensworth from What We Do in the Shadows.

But he reminds me of Jackie Daytona, somehow.

Shhh, you’ll wake it.

General popular buy in.

If 5% of the country tries to strike it’s just going to get 5% of people fired with a poisoned reference on their CV, and get a story on page 3 of a billionaire owned newspaper. In the US right now 45% of the country would actively oppose a general strike, 30% would be oblivious to it happening until they got to work that day and wondered why Chris and Pat aren’t in, and 20% would decline for fear of reprisal (sans union protection).

In what way is Elon crashing out? He’s spending his days turning the US in the fascist kleptocracy that he and his apartheidist father used to dream about while they were abusing the children working their emerald mines, all the time selling thousands of his wankpanzers to the military at a massive markup, and gathering every citizens bank account details.

Everything backs up to a Synology diskstation (with disk redundancy). The Syno’s Hyperbackup makes backups of critical stuff stuff to the cloud weekly. In the case of my self-hosted stuff, it’s mostly the share storage where all my docker volumes map to. Also workstation backsups, home assistant backups, phone photos, etc.

A back up of the temporally replaceable stuff (everything not covered above) which is hosted from the Diskstation, is made to an external drive a few times a year and stored off-site the rest of the time. This isn’t 3-2-1, but its close enough for my needs.
