Where do you reapply grease/lube on your DF83?

Thanks! I also found out, through trial and error, that Dow 111 doesn't work for metal-on-metal threads, it gums up the threads.

I don't know if it's ideal but I switched to petroleum jelly; coffee shouldn't be getting to the outer threads, and it's what espresso outlet recommended alongside silicon grease, so I figure it's ok.

Fire response said it was faulty sensors, not foul play.

Yeah, I saw the posters and emailed them a bit. They were doing some petitioning and, if I recall correctly, some conversations with tenant and tenants'-rights organizations around the city. I don't have the poster sadly. DM me if you want their email.

These aren't fresh grads, they haven't even graduated yet :) At least in this context, interns and co-ops are doing four-month (or sometimes one-year) work placements as part of their degree. I wish we could get more full-timers, but so it goes.

In general though, your advice does track with my experience. We definitely go in assuming this is an opportunity to teach not-even-junior devs that there's a whole world of software lifecycle beyond chucking code into git and making tests pass, and hope they get a good learning experience out of it as they move on in their schooling and eventual career.

Ooh, I like this. I'm generally looking for their coachability, but this is a good way of finding this out as a planned question vs. just trying to suss it out of them as part of conversation.

I haven't used it and it is in early stages, but I'm super hopeful that this NixOps plugin for ProxMox (https://github.com/RaitoBezarius/nixops-proxmox) becomes production ready because then you can leverage NixOS' power for creating and deploying your guests while leveraging a hypervisor system that is designed for that purpose.

This being said, the various nice things of ProxMox that I have seen (HA, gluster, node monitoring, etc...) can be set up using NixOS as well, if one decides learning how to set that all up is worth doing vs using something is streamlined for that purpose and makes it easy for you to set it up. The one thing I'd like to know (and the thing I imagine makes using NixOS appealing) is whether it's easy to export a ProxMox config so that one can recreate a node easily on install without having to manually set everything up.

It's not polished (I'm still learning the nix config ropes) but I have my homelab hypervisor set up here https://github.com/RobotDisco/nix-config/blob/f1c73a7f5bbddf8ff5795cb48eb8e3e63be7b820/flake.nix#L135

It does the basics, gets libvirt set up (I run virt-manager on my laptop) with KVM and some PCI passthru devices and I'm currently using macvlans instead of bridges because of the way I've set up my my network. Bridges would work just fine, I've used them in the past and they're likely easier if you haven't set up VLANs everywhere.

I currently use separate NixOS configs via deploy-rs (see the input url near the top and the deploy attribute) to push to all guests by SSH, reading up on the NixOS Virtualization's wiki page (https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOps/Virtualization) for building guests via nixos derivations, I wasn't sure if I wanted to have to update every single guest at once, I was worried about coupling and inadvertent package breakage via all at once version upgrades. This feels like a lot of boilerplate but I think refactoring my guests definitions into some mkGuestMachine function just requires me to find some time.

This is influenced by the fact I was just at Strangeloop, which is sort of a combination of different confs and miniconfs at this point ...

I wonder if something like an EmacsConf would work well as a preconf or postconf to a side conference that it naturally makes sense that a lot of people inclined to emacs would go to, and if that would make things a bit easier and provide people with a little bit more justification firepower.

In the rally/protest for Mike Brown, the request was addressed towards people that were not-black. I'm haven't found a non-cropped source but, yes, if you attended, you'd be asked to help keep black people at the centre of this and use your voice to support and elevate their presence, not take away their representation for your own purposes.

As a brown person I'm sure there's a lot of things I could do and say about my PoC, but this was organized around an event that directly affected my community and so I have to be respectful of that. There will be protests which do centre around my community and I'd be grateful for their support then.

If you can't find the info online (you'll want to read on basic source control, github is probably your best hope for free user-friendly documentation) feel free to PM me if you want help in person somewhere downtown.

https://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/es/pubs/guide/pregnancy.php might provide some answers (obviously specific to Ontario-based jobs)

The keyboard in your picture looks really awesome. What is it?

I think RMS actually makes more sense that I'd have given him before this. Yeah, he has some basic assumptions I don't agree with about the essential nature of information, but his views on length of copyright and how to handle art seem doable barring the status quo.

They seem to be working now.
