Yes! Enthusiasm is contagious. Share the fun.

i programmed things for fun for months on end without having an internet connection. never had the need to share. occasionally I needed connection to download papers on the subject.

I mean, good for you, but some need to be reminded that it's not all about the grind.

Once added this to a team’s shared account:

>When responding to IT or programming questions, respond in UK slang language, Ali G style but safe for work.

Took them a few hours to notice.

Think you invented a modern edition of sticky tape on bottom of mouse there

Where I work we’ve set up OpenTelemetry SDK in the applications to expose traces, logs and metrics.

Grafana agent as OTEL collector on the application hosts, Grafana Tempo as backend for traces, Loki for logs and Prometheus for Metrics.

The cool thing about Tempo it generates metrics for ingested spans and their labels (spanmetrics) so this allows us to explore “unknown unknowns” as the author calls it in a very cost efficient way.

This is awesome, can’t wait to play TH again. Totally forgot about this game, but i remember playing a demo version of the original game. The game was good fun. What impressed me most back then was the quality and “realism” of the videos (mind you, it was 1997)

I enjoyed playing a demo version of Theme Hospital too. It wasn't the version on the UK Playstation Magazine Demo Disc No. 18, volume 2 for you as well, by any chance? :)

Similar though! It was on PC, either downloaded from Tucows or from one of these shareware discs they sold at computer fairs.

man thanks for the nostalgic rush, upon witnessing tucows a phrase I've not seen since forever I was instantly transported to 1998 searching with alta vista/infoseek getting gaming tips off happypuppy.com and updating my geocitie website, man those were the days

My setup extends on this: the pulumi stack creates ECR repo, IAM user+access token, adds credentials and ECR details to GitHub actions secrets, and GitHub actions builds tags and pushes the images to ECR when a release is (automatically) tagged.

Pulumi is (mostly) a bliss!

There are more than a few resource types lacking import examples/details in the docs.

Other than that, for most resources I use the docs are pretty good.

Yep, this, exactly.

Interesting developments in this space. So how does this work in practice? Do I feed it an ISO? Are Steam games supported?

Steam games are sadly very hit and miss. In my case more misses than hits.

Yeah. I hesitate to be harsh on a volunteer project. It’s clearly got a lot of brilliance behind it. But yeah, all the games I tried today failed to run unfortunately.

On the other hand, the Steam launcher itself somehow runs faster via Whisky than the native Mac version.

whisky does run steam but in my particular case, trying to download a game, it stops at 2%. and that's it. it does not seem to happen with crossover.

I've been using mail in a box since 2016 for a handful of personal domains. It's easy to setup and very low maintenance. Backups are solid too.

Just make sure your hosting package/provider allows and supports self-hosted mail. PTR dns records specifically as without your mail might work but much ends up in spam boxes. The mail in a box setup guide covers this too.

Maybe sharing my experience helps in some way:

I’ve been using a handful of these accounts nearly 10 years ago. Not much if any mails received on them for at least a few years, and received the inactive notification for all of them last month. Note the nuance that these account didn’t have mail to forward for several years.

For this reason I don’t wear a smart watch, but wear a smart ring to monitor vitals and heart/sleep trends. Just FYI.
