A chart outlining the RIP BOZO Readiness Condition (RIPCON), which is a riff off of DEFCON. There are 5 levels, with 5 being lowest and 1 being the highest. The chart details descriptions of these levels, examples and actions to take in the event something occurs.
Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.
living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be
Good reminders for all the devs out there trying to claw some time on the backlog for better resiliency focused projects!
Prod is in late "dark deployment" / early rollout stages, with a few dozen NixOS deployments supporting low hundreds of customers, ramping up to thousands by early next year.
There is a lot I *don't* know about Nix… but a few years deep in the weeds, I know a lot more than I am proud to admit 😅
To be clear, I'm focusing on servers or development environments; I don't have the fortitude to run Linux on the desktop!
Some more context: my team runs Nix for the dev systems of a half dozen people, working in Ruby, Rust, JS, Java, across a dozen different app, data, and API services.
Hello world! I'm putting together a series of talks and team trainings on Nix and NixOS. (Two is a series, right?)
There's a lot to narrow down. So I would love to know: if you're Nix-curious, what questions do you have, or frustrations have you experienced?
This is the way
Also: ebikes? I think we’re going to need solar panels, a battery, an inverter, and a handful of bike chargers for various different brands. And while we’re at it, landscaping equipment also uses batteries. This sounds like a very multipurpose building to me, I’m not sure ‘vehicles’ really captures…
Okay I’ll bite: why do you want an OpenSearch on a raspberry pi!
Crucial Conversations
I mean, RUST_LOG, and clap env, but you know those 😎
Clever hidden design element for the new City of Austin logo: a cheeky little “y” that represents “y tho”
Bring back high quality local tech meetups!
Aw yiss
Recently dove in on a glove80 with Engram. Going from 115 to 15wpm is humbling.
We have some very pragmatic search content going out on the @bonsai.io blog and I am chuffed. More on the way.
Yeah if Bluesky counts!
Problem: searching across five different indexes.
Solution? Combine them into one!
New problem: searching across six different indexes…
For so many software product builders, learning the fundamentals of search relevancy is like unlocking a super power. Come join Doug and me and find out for yourself!
Happy door to door roofing sales day to all my Austinites who celebrate.
The true nuggets of wisdom in search relevancy are surprisingly hard to find.

Anyway how's your day going.
Maybe if we're lucky we can get a bias checker in Rust 🤞
But how do you know if a programmer is a Rust pro-ohhh yeah that tracks
Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said.
Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.
Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules
Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere
😂
Try your hand at @graze.social?
Thanks I needed a new book series
Me too, second only to devops done poorly
