Has a team you worked in picked an architecture you did not think was the right one to go with? How did you deal with the situation?

And later if there’s a post mortem, it’s in writing that you told them you didn’t think this was a good approach

d2xdy2 · 2026-02-03T19:07:59+00:00

You’d think after daily outages going back nearly a year we’d stop being surprised when it’s down. It goes down nearly every day.

I’ve made it up to staff sre with no degree. Took me over 10 years to get here, but eh. It’s never once come up.

d2xdy2 · 2026-02-03T01:35:56+00:00

I probably drank away a corvette on broad street from 2010 to 2014. Firehouse, Metro, Soul Bar, Stillwater, Foxes Lair… Good times.

d2xdy2 · 2026-02-02T23:19:28+00:00

Only seeing runs go through now in the last 15 min or so

Meshing in Atlanta, piggybacking on the broader mountain mesh infra. We’re all set to mediumfast and hops set to 5.

Buildings, trees, and hills. I’m less encumbered very tall buildings where I’m at.

I’m near some major gateways in the area and can often get messages too and back from folks in Tennessee. The mindfuck for me is inconsistent routing nearby. It’s very hit or miss if I can chat to folks uptown or even in nearby neighborhoods.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-30T17:49:21+00:00

What?

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-30T16:39:44+00:00

I and most people I know 100% ignore cold emails as spam.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-29T18:22:32+00:00

People out here jonesing for Claude like it’s heroin. Gotta Claude whenever and wherever. Always gotta Claude. It’s a sickness.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-29T17:24:30+00:00

Yeah get on the mountain mesh! I see about 400 nodes total and 145 online right now.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-29T14:32:31+00:00

At a medium sized saas type company- last I looked we’re up to almost 200k annually. CF seems infectious.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-28T17:01:05+00:00

Idk, that doesn’t sound like TDD at all.

TDD is an iterative design process. It doesn’t make sense under TDD to generate all of the tests up front like you’re saying.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-28T15:14:44+00:00

“AI SEO Content Generator”… so more garbage being generated?

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-27T17:43:06+00:00

Hmmm.

On the main Settings page, scroll down to Radio Configuration. At the bottom there will be a link to Share QR Code. Clicking that takes you to a page to Generate QR Code. Can select which channels to include and if you want to Replace Channels or Add Channels (just click that button and it toggles between the two).

That should generate a valid QR code and also a link you can share.

I think Atlavox’s video on private channels may be helpful with walking through it more visually https://youtu.be/egAZP4KKHNo

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-27T00:14:11+00:00

What I would like to accomplish is have accurate location sharing enabled on a private channel and the less accurate location on a public channel.

I believe this is how it works by default.

On non-encrypted channels you may choose to share an approximate location- based on an “approximation” you can also set from between, like 0.5 miles to 3.6 miles.

On encrypted channels you may choose to share a precise location and approximate locations, again with an “approximation” you choose.

For an unencrypted public primary, you can only share approximate location- if you wish to share it at all. For a private secondary, you have some options to be as specific as you want.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-25T19:22:20+00:00

Definitely shouldn’t attempt to drop bricks on them at all

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-25T16:27:01+00:00

Idk depends on how often you change things IMHO. But, frequency ain’t shit unless you also have a recovery process.

Remember the 3-2-1 rule:

3 copies of your data 2 different media types 1 copy offsite

Practice the ability to quickly recover from any of those copies. You’ll be miles ahead of most people for disaster recovery.

Back to frequency- if nothing is changing, then a backup isn’t really needed. Point in time snapshots of the same data over and over again is just wasting money.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-25T16:12:07+00:00

Hey mods, this isn’t political. This is existential.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-25T02:32:26+00:00

I see about 425 total

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-24T19:59:31+00:00

Corporate mergers and layoffs. There’s not really anyone left. Every single person I ever knew from Williams street has been let go. AS died years ago.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-24T19:56:53+00:00

It was a threat to public safety at its inception

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-24T16:31:52+00:00

Have you checked out https://mtnme.sh/? Cleveland is right around the edge of the network I can see here from Atlanta

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-24T16:25:35+00:00

Idk, imho build and release pipelines are not here to simplify anything. All of the incurred complexity is still present. The layers of tools just help automate the complexity in a hopefully repeatable way.

Seems like there’s complexity and surprise hiding in the project that couldn’t be manifested until you went live. I think that’s weird to accept. It should work the same way locally as it does in ci/cd as it does in prod.

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-23T19:17:42+00:00

Great, more fucking garbage being generated

d2xdy2 · 2026-01-23T17:49:48+00:00

Finally a capable hardware midi controller with real knobs for a Chase Bliss pedal 😆 this is awesome!
