@dashdsrdash That's really useful advice. I've got to see what can be done at the NAS end (it all handles it itself).
@feld Bonkers isn't it? I think quite a lot of bottled water has a long logistics chain.
One of our NAS boxes has a delegated DNS entry, using simple round robin node balancing. "Great" thought I, "I can use the DNS name for SSH work" Alas it causes host key alarm because there's multiple hosts...I don't like to switch that off so I guess I'll just stick to the IP I've had stuck in my head forever. #sysadmin
@checkervest The oldest is in bed yelling every 20 minutes for me to go to Sheetz and buy him a slushy, so I think he'll be alright.
Notwithstanding that the entire point of this very expensive regulation change was to close following distances. #F1 really cannot get out of its own way sometimes.
#F1 this is a bit annoying. Ross Brawn and Pat Symonds said that they would monitor aero exploitation carefully. If allowed to progress, teams will spend a fortune on these concepts, many CFD and wind-tunnel hours, only for them to be binned overnight.

@checkervest Cheers m'dears. It's nothing serious, just the usual cold month rolling sickness. They bring it from school, gets the whole house, repeat three weeks later.
A decade ago, a tribe of JS partisans took the web by the reigns, forked HTML and JS syntax, and yeeted useland abstractions into the critical path because "a better user experience".
This was premised on the idea that everyone's CPUs/networks would get faster the way their top-end phones did.
They could not have been more wrong.
JS-first web development has been a planetary-scale exercise in the rich making life harder for the less well-off.
@claudiom Thanks Claudio. I'm sure they'll be fine. It's about every month in Winter...
@vriska Oh my
Today in 1965, 58 years ago: Launch of Gemini 7 with crew members Frank Borman and Jim Lovell. The Gemini 7 spacecraft was the passive target for the first crewed space rendezvous performed by the crew of Gemini 6A.
@Flick Very true. Social media is the loneliest place on earth. Worse still when people mistake it for reality.
@mattb I think the pandemic made it worse. The meeting became the standard unit of work.
@mattb This is a modern disease.
Today in 1945, 78 years ago: By a vote of 65–7, the United States Senate approves United States participation in the United Nations. (The UN had been established on October 24, 1945.)
