Have you ever seen a photo and then you feel like you can hear the photo at the same time? Here's an example:

Finished season 2 of The Mandalorian. That show is great.

    @jwildeboer What's the reason for needing more queues? More federation with a larger number of servers?

    Over on #Twitter, Elon Musk now insinuates it's somehow acceptable to bear arms to "defend" the right to post Pepe the frog, in case you need another reason to finally delete your account over there.

    major,

    @jwildeboer This is the issue in the USA. I'm a supporter of the second amendment but it was never meant for this.

    This is gun fetishism and control through violence.

    major,

    @jwildeboer can't argue with you on that.

    Much of this stems from people who feel like they have less power in society and they feel like they can wrestle control back with a powerful firearm.

    However, if faced with a real emergency, many forget all about safety and randomly point their weapon at people. Look up the biker gang shootout in Waco, Texas on YouTube.

    major,

    @jwildeboer I'm firmly against open carry regardless of permit/training. I can support concealed carry but only with permit/training.

    In my state, you can now do both with zero training, zero licensure, and zero accountability. They call it "constitutional carry", which is completely insane.

    @SamJSharpe Perhaps you want to be more transparent with your coffee making process? 😉

    Mailing lists are a big deal, y'all.

    Not joking.

    Well, maybe joking a little.

    Reminders from my time working in corporate security at my last job. 🔒

    Lesson learned: When you fight against outdated security policies from the inside, engineers who are good at Photoshop and have access to plotter printers will immortalize your image in unexpected ways. 🤦‍♂️ 🤣

    @Viss I had to tell people my chest was not that hairy.

    (But I did shovel quite a bit of 💩 in corp sec so the shovel was entirely accurate.) 🤣

    Regular reminder that patriotism and nationalism are different.

    A true patriot celebrates the good stuff that works well, calls out the bad stuff that doesn't work, and thinks about how to make that bad stuff better.

    @levampyre Is there a better word in German for someone who:

    🔹Is happy to be a German citizen
    🔹Likes many things as they are now in Germany
    🔹Would like to make some broken things better
    🔹Is not afraid to say "let's make this broken thing better"

    major,

    @levampyre Oh boy. That's a lot there.

    @lowqualityfacts That's very inflammatory.

    Finally deleted the Twitter account this week. I had an account since 2008! It's just depressing to see what it's turned into now.

    Maybe 4-5 of my friends are still there but it was tough to see their posts with all of the promoted stuff wedged in the middle.

    Interested in all things @fedora on clouds of all sizes? Come join our Fedora Cloud SIG meeting this Thursday at 15:00 UTC. 👋

    Our meetings are getting more and more active. We would love to hear from you and get you involved in our initiatives.

    #fedora #cloud #aws #azure #google

    The world looks a heck of a lot better when you default to love. 💖

    Hating someone or something requires so much maintenance and upkeep. 😰

    I'm going to let you in on a secret: you can disagree with someone about nearly everything and still love them as a human.

    Sounds crazy, I know, but it works. 😉

    Interesting analysis on Ozempic/Mounjaro as weight loss drugs and their economic impact.

    If you don't want to change your eating habits and lifestyle, you're stuck on these meds forever. Long term risks aren't well understood for your health, but we know how they impact your wallet.

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to improve the quality of our food supply and rework our dietary guidelines instead? 🤔

    I love taking @fedora with me to more and more public clouds. This time involves a trip to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, where I imported Fedora 38 and launched a Flex instance:

    As promised, here's the blog post detailing the @fedora image changes on AWS. :fedora:

    TL;DR: Half as many AMIs created daily, default storage is gp3 now, you can still pick any storage you want when you create the instance. ☁️

    There's also a link to @Quinnypig's blog post about why gp3 is a better choice than gp2. 😉

    Most of the fence around my AC in the side yard was trash.

    So I figured instead of replacing the fence with another fence, I'd replace it with a very shallow garden shed / closet for hand tools.

    major,

    @kwf Looks great!
