Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.

@academicalnerd Whatever you fancy Young d'Artagnan. Disregarding your somewhat reckless tone, I feel you are up to some good stuff. Enjoy it and take care. Somebody on the other side is thinking of you from time to time. Cheers!

It starts to rebalance the storage for redundancy once again. If I recall correctly, the specific config here is what node redundancy you are asking for vs. how many nodes are up. E.g., if you have 2-nodes fail redundancy and 5 nodes, it probably won't even blink when one of them goes down. But my experience with Ceph is somewhat outdated already...
@academicalnerd All the best to you too! Best of luck there. And don't fall too much for the doom and gloom in your country's TV and general media space. The world will be a place worth exploring and enjoying even when those propagandists over there turn out to be wrong (as I am sure they will).
Christmas mood: midnight baking, kids helping, everybody having fun, sneaky snacking, pot licking, jokes, quarrels. Good stuff. Let Christmas begin! #baking #cakeposting @hob
@piggo Is that actually a loss? Maybe it's a feature...

What a bleak picture of the world you paint there... I wish you that one day you'll see the humankind through a more positive lens. It's not all black. There is a lot to be happy about too.
I feel, at this point it's clear that our worldviews just differ too much for continuing a fruitful discussion, we don't seem to share a similar outlook.
Anyhow, thank you very much for this conversation. It was a pleasure. Should you one day get into a more positive mood, I'd be glad to hear about it. Take care.

Don't be so cynical please. Companies are groups of people too, not some "beings". When those individuals get convinced (and they do every day, it just takes time!), companies start to act differently too. After all, they are built to do exactly that: react to public demand. Not the other way round. Keep the good work up, it will pay off. Eventually.

That we need it is clear. The reality is that we probably won't get it quickly. I was not saying that we _need_ to delay, my position was rooted in a simple recognition/acceptance that this takes time. We started late, so we'll end late - i.e., we'll need to accept the damage, there's no way around it.
At the same time, I am positive that we'll eventually figure it out - as we humans tend to. The collective action will come. Just it seems to be in our nature that it only comes when there's no other way around it - that is, too late. And I am afraid, that that moment still didn't come 😕 . It will only come when it touches the vast majority of humankind. Yes, by then the damage will be even greater. Unfortunately, it seems human societies are these stupid slow learners...
I also wish for it to be different - and it doesn't stop me to work for a faster solution. At the same time it is what it is...
@EllisCrawford Well, maybe you should see it in a positive light: if the person was unaware AND actually genuinely doesn't care, it's a positive thing, isn't it? After all it means that you are accepted as you are for the human being you are and not for labels you, or others attach to your person. I guess that was the objective all along, wasn't it?

This cartoon hits hard.
It hits even harder when you notice the 2007 publication date in the lower right corner.

These things simply take time and there is no way around it. Therein lie 2 good messages:
* we'll figure it out (as humankind)
* don't lose hope. Every little bit helps (and not everyone has to be a environmentalist for that).
Every generation thinks they'll sort it out with a magic turn of their hand. Patience!
@piggo There are good things among all the fluff. Best is to get recommendations from friends. Otherwise it's just browsing old crap, or being lost in a sea of new non-descript pics.
@DrLinguo @academiamemes These days I hear sales people speaking like this. 
@pony I know. And it brings back the cozy 1st republic feel too. All-round win. What is missing is to only get an opportunity to drop in "pane rado!"
@pony Rhymes with purple rain (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edDiY323768). Somebody shall produce a cover.
@pony Outrageous!

@mathias Also look at the upside: you don't get stressed of buying presents several times a year. You can manage all that, together with all the Christmas in one go. I call that a win!
@piggo What a monster.
