I feel like I should say something about the #raspberrypi privacy debacle. But can't get over Liz Upton's pigs in blankets quote.

Being told to learn machine learning over Christmas break, because management think its the cool thing to offer.

Any good PyTorch resources out there?

If people are going to shove servers in cupboards miles away from a server room. Please connect the remote management NIC.

It turns out that you can develop on an android phone. But it's not exactly practical.

@intrbiz Basically after Nictool but with a modern interface and not written in perl. Something that can support thousands of domains, with a good user/group/delegation system, able to manage the RRs that are available to users, and validates users input properly.

I keep telling myself that I will write a decent responsive DNS panel, because I can't find one that fits my needs (except maybe nictool). But I just can't find motivation to write the front end.

The system works. From reporting a bug and providing a patch, to EPEL providing packages with said fix in under a week.

Catching up with LSMs, and playing with SafeSetID this afternoon.

Going through the separation anxiety stage with the little one, without a support network is certainly 'fun'.

Today's decision is whether it's worse to have CVEs that may not be applicable, or a bug that causes child processes to die in fringe cases.

This weekend, I shall mostly be trying to get Fedora working correctly on a Lenovo Legion laptop. Wish me luck.

That conflicted feeling of having my org wide NTP service design finally approved. So much red tape in the HE sector.

Tonight I was meant to be writing a test plan for a new system. Instead MS Office decided I no longer have a license, despite it being valid for another 6months.

If I still didn't get formatting differences on the same document between Libreoffice and MS Office, I know which I'd rather use...

Today I fell foul to Exim bug 2903 (https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2903). Where SMTP sessions drop without error if a rewrite rule hits a malformed address. That took longer to find than it should have.

So it turns out NFS performance on Dell Isilon storage is greatly affected by the on-board AV config. Changing from scan on open, to scan on save sees massive improvements in transfer speeds.
