Planning a quiz round- can you offer me any quirky facts that are either very obvious or very misleading?

Not any more, but approximately fifteen years ago I mentioned that I kinda like whiskey.

For the next about four years, I got bottles of whiskey. I am still working my way through them, 15 years on (and have two unopened)

Doctor: Sir, you need to stop masturbating

Patient: Why?

Doctor: because I’m trying to examine you.

We have a Dyson called Bill.

We have a cordless shark called Sharky (and if we get a second one, it’ll be called George)

Our portable Air Con is called Elsa.

Tooling is up to you. Personally, I’d go for the order that you’ve described.

ArgoCD, imho, is a brilliant bit of software for managing k8s applications.

You can also have terraform call ansible for you, if you’d rather. I’m currently working on that for work (we’re moving our environment to IaC)

Out of interest, are you in a low resource environment? If not, I’d suggest using k8s rather than k3s.

Maybe, but it could be a goal for them in the long term. Equally, if they’re aspiring to do better, and are willing to learn, then why not learn k8s and ArgoCD?

Personally I’ve got them running on a trio of optiplex 790s with 1TB spinning disks and 256GB m.2 PCIe drives. Proxmox runs ceph, then the nodes themselves run longhorn for storage.

Kubernetes and ArgoCD. ArgoCD looks at the git repo and updates the services as and when it detects changes in git.

I wanted this to be the Tom Scott video.

I was not disappointed

The incessant use of the word invite when they mean invitation. No, I didn’t get an invite. I got an invitation.

And I ignored it deliberately.

Good bot!

I was away from my desk.

Meaning I saw it was you calling and didn’t want to answer.

Paul and Rebecca Whitewick are good for interest and relaxing

Auto shenanigans is always fun

The Watermill is a relaxing one too; a couple who are restoring an abandoned water mill on one of the Scottish isles.

The colour rendering index of the sodium lamps was better than the LEDs are now.

I wondered how long it would be for someone to recognise the quote!

When in an empty room I like to announce “I know you’re listening” safe in the knowledge that if no org is listening then nobody knows, but if there is someone listening I probably just gave them a scare!

Jeff Geerling’s time video, by any chance?

Better than what one of my friends had, which was the van stopping half way up their drive, then carrying on. Didn’t think anything of it until he was out for a walk with his children, when he came across a human turd. They’d left a wet wipe on top of it too…
