@angristan Nothing says Friday Firedrill like rewiring the network at 7pm :)

@angristan I know your feels of frustration wrt reboots for meltdown and other oddities. On Friday my job's IAAS host rebooted some firewall instances that kernel panic'd on the reboot phase, and we were hard down for 3 or 4 hours. It was nightmarish.

We wound up re-wiring our network replacing the legacy firewalls with IAAS firewall security groups in a little over an hour and a half and got all 700+ instances back on-line.

Dealing with collat. damage today. #adminwoes #patchfriday? #darnit

@yakky If i can recommend k8s the hard way, just dedicate a weekend and go through it. it'll take a couple hours but you'll have a very firm grasp of how distributions are put together.

It also gives you a good overview of the basic objects at play.

If the goal is just to get proficient with using it, the CKA admin test offered by the linux foundation has free training material and covers everything an admin will need to know.

Good luck on your adventure!

@yakky Thats not an uncommon sentiment. There's a lot that changes between releases too so its a moving target.

However if your objects are in stable, its mostly going to be the same save for some small implementation details between those minor revs.

@viciousviscosity i own this book and have read it cover to cover multiple times. Seriously its one of 2 physical books i still own after going full epub.

We totally jinxed the Freenode bridge by claiming it's stable again - for the last 24 hours it's been falling behind badly; potentially due to perf problems caused by Meltdown mitigation, or possibly just due to load. We're working on it.

woooo i've been off the fediverse for a while. HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR FELLOW TOOTERS!

@nolan You too huh? That kicked in for me when i turned 30. Its bizarre how changes like that kick in at biological timeframes like a switch almost. it becomes all or nothing.

in my 20's sleep deprivation was so common i almost championed it (out of ignorance i assure you)

A nice cup of hot tea and a book do wonders for that though. And i applaud your 10pm lights out routine. Thats a good one to adopt.

@thegibson well that settles that then!

I'm at the cusp of being completely checked out at work today. its the day before a 10 day vacation.

Any tips on how to keep focused?

@craigmaloney You throw that gauntlet boii 😂
