idk what she does, but Perforce has given us an extra day off for Easter, Memorial Day, and July 4.
extra day as in not marked as an official company holiday. I suspect this is a covid-only situation.
I only have two years, but word on the street is they give us either the week of Christmas or New Years off each year "unannounced". I can confirm this has happened the last two years.
In a lot of cases, direct manager may be more important than the company culture though.
On a slightly related note, we did just acquire another company/office, though that's not official yet. Consider the amount off companies there, probably ok to say they are based in the Bay Area.
We are trying to get another open listing for my "remote first" team.
Typhoid Mary was the first known asymptomatic disease carrying superspreader. Not the first, of course, but the first one that was proven.
There is US precedent for involuntary confinement of disease carriers, so “muh rights” versus spreading deadly diseases to others can be adjudicated. #COVID-19 #Typhoid
here's what I have learned. With the Alfresco docker-compose.yml, you must use 'docker-compose stop'. You can't stop individual containers. I suspect this is common place.
However, you can also not use 'docker-compose restart' after stopping. This will leave nginx not knowing where to send traffic (504...probably something in the docker networking stack, but who cares, right?)
Ten years ago the 1st commit https://git.friendi.ca/friendica/friendica/commit/6348e70daa113e8b3203de8fbc919d08c90d972e to the git repository of Mistpark was made by Mike Macgirvin, a project that since has become Friendica accumulating some 27.000 commits contributing the work of more then 250 people from all around the world. Mistpark and Friendica themes from 2010 to 2020 Together we have build a social media platform that had many faces over the years. It has grown from a decentralized communication platform into an integral part of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse and Federation. Allowing its users to interact with their friends and family across the borders of nodes, projects and physical distance outside the world of data-harvesting corporations.
I've joined the Fediverse August 2008 as @Tobias Diekershoff, after a report in one of Germans IT-News portals. I never was on Twitter before, but had a, more or less dormant, Facebook account. Microblogging was fun, in contrast to organizing study groups at FB ;-) and when Laconica (the software that ran identi.ca back then) got a first release to host your own instance, I set mine up and became one of those early pioneers stepping into the void starting to form the bubble that today is called the Fediverse.
And maybe I should some grayish strands into my profile picture ;-)

And while Microblogging was fun, for me one thing missing were private postings. Postings I only shared with friends, or with the people from my study group or with family members. So when diaspora* got a first alpha version released I got really excited about the self-hosted alternative to FB. So, I tried to set-up diaspora* on my server at home and failed after two weekends struggling with the requirements and the stable version of Debian :-)
So I looked for an alternative to the alternative and found Mistpark. A small one-man project to build a social media platform with Facebook like features. And one big plus point, it was written in PHP, same as Laconica/StatusNet, and was installed within minutes on the Debian box. I don't know exactly when that was, but it should be around December of 2010.
The last ten years went by in the blink of an eye. Friendica was the 1st multi protocol project in the Fedivers & Federation, speaking with IMAP, RSS feeds and both the OStatus and the diaspora* world. (And picked up ActivityPub along the way at some point.) It got my central spot of personal communication streams.
I've met many great people, we got friends and mourned together when some of us passed away. We had our ypots collected and drank our cup of coffee together in the morning. We celebrated birthdays and child birth. We saw monoliths struggle and fall. Islands in the void growing. Slowly but steadily that what got the Fediverse of today was formed. A diverse bunch of projects with a diverse group of communities connected through space and time. Slowly at first but every now and then a wave of newcomers was washed ashore the banks of the Fediverse and Federation.
Today we can celebrate another birthday. Ten long years ago, @Mike Macgirvin did the initial commit to ~friendica . Thank you Mike cheers! I wish I could share a home-brew with you. Have a great party today--all of you, being new or old to the Fediverse. Keep your physical distance as appropriate but get more closer socially :-)

musicman"We wanted an installation of Kubernetes that was half the size in terms of memory footprint. Kubernetes is a 10-letter word stylized as K8s. So something half as big as Kubernetes would be a 5-letter word stylized as K3s. There is no long form of K3s and no official pronunciation."
