No see, this makes sense. If this administration is ever going to end, you know his last action will be pardoning everyone, and he doesn’t want the precedent of pardons being ignored.

Don’t worry! It can be a heart attack or simply anxiety! And the best is when it’s triggered by anxiety about having a heart attack.

So if he was legitimately elected for a second term in 2020, doesn’t that mean that he couldn’t have run last year? This shit drives me crazy with the logical inconsistencies.

I’m getting back into small scale hydroponics. I have a decent setup from IKEA containers to grow a few leafy greens, and we’re starting some raised planters for beans, peppers, and tomatoes. It’s not enough to fully survive without a trip to the grocery store but it’s something.

Great. I’m happy, really, that some cracks however small are appearing. But unless I’m mistaken, even if the House and Senate bills could get smushed together and passed by both houses, it would need Trump’s signature to become law - something he is most assuredly not going to do. Is there enough votes to override his veto?

Another great movie quote that makes the rounds regularly at our house!

My wife and I trade off quoting, “I don’t have to explain my art to you warren” “My name’s not warren!” At least once a month.

Yeah, evidently they really, really want you to sign up. They upped the period from the first three years to as long as you own the car (it doesn’t transfer to a new owner if you sell it).

When I bought my Hyundai they pushed fucking hard to sign up for their Blue link product. Free for life! Look, map updates! You can personalize your driver profile pic! Want to remote start your car over the Internet?

Luckily, my VIN wasn’t working for registration (I guess it hadn’t quite gone through fast enough that the car was purchased). I’ve gone two months without BlueLink and I’m hoping that’s saving me from some of the info gathering (or at least it’s not directly linked to me.

The podcast Main Justice has been following this - the crazy part is that a judge ruled the first executive order targeting a law firm clearly infringed on multiple constitutional rights and, even after that ruling came down, the administration released more executive orders with the same language targeting other law firms.

Good as in “the worst that the Internet has to offer is an old man orgy”.

It was a simpler time.

Jesus, tell me that site is still up. I need to be reminded of when the Internet had good things.

Has AI even been trained on COBOL?

No their relationship has deepened beyond porn.

Now they’re accountability buddies that make sure each other doesn’t bomb rich white people accidentally.

I bought a car that comes with a “free” 300k/30 year warranty, but only if to do oil changes every 4k miles or 3 months. Maybe this guy has something similar?

For me, I may try And keep it up for a bit, but driving to one particular dealer every 3 months just to get a ridiculous warranty that will probably never actually pay out isn’t worth it.

Yeah, that’s the other thing to keep in mind, since the KVM APIs are different from the vSphere APIs, you can’t just swap providers without changes. But if you were going from a test vSphere stack to a prod, you could update the endpoint and be just fine.

Hashicorp has caught some shit in the past about claiming the code covers multiple providers. Technically, it can if you do weird shit with modules, but in reality there isn’t a clean way to have a single, easily understandable project that can provision to multiple platforms.

nothing about it is common or portable, so if you change your VM host, it might all fall apart.

Disclaimer, I’m pretty much elbow deep into terraform daily and have written/contributed to a few providers.

A lot of this is highly dependent upon the providers (the thing that allows the Terraform engine to interface with APIs for AWS, Proxmox, vSphere, etc. The Telmate Proxmox provider in particular is/was quite awful with not realizing a provisioned VM had moved to a new host.

Also, the default/tutorial code tends to be not very flexible. The game changer for me was using the built-in functions for decoding yaml from a config file (like yamldecode(file(config.yml)) in a locals block. You can then specify your desired infrastructure with yaml and (if you write your Terraform code correctly) you can blowout hundreds of VMs, policies, firewall rules, dns records etc with a single manifest. I’ve also used the local_file resource with a Terraform file template to dynamically create an Ansible inventory file based on what’s deployed.

I’m not sure if the person I replied to was thinking about this movie in particular, but it certainly came to mind when I posted that gif:

There’s been some solid ones too. I love that I didn’t have to explain the War thunder one to my spouse.
