What is the value in hearing opinions that denigrate your existence and way of life? Why would that make one close minded? You have finite amount of time, resources, and mental energy to devote to the content you engage with. Why spend it on content that you consider antagonistic, toxic, and stress-indiucing?

I’m right there with you. Gatwa is quickly growing as one of my favorite doctors. His charisma and chemistry with Millie are off the charts.

No such thing

Love the texture added by layering the red onto the blue background instead of the other way around. Even more so the use of directionally of brush to create a sense of dynamic movement and momentum, and the fact that you worked outsode in so the eye is drawn texturally in that direction through the layering

A few minutes away from the world record of not blinking. Haven’t attempted since I was a teen though

Mo’ paralysis demons fo’ me!

Have you ever had sleep paralysis? The combo of severe evil presence and severely constricting environment/feeling at often tied with sleep paralysis and have some correlation with dyspnea in real life while you’re dreaming

A properly architected and implemented microservice architecture optimizes work throughput while minimizing risk. In practice its architecting in such a way that no part can take down the whole individually - the very opposite of a monolith where everything is inseparably interdependent at some level.

Problem is, most organizations don’t know how to properly architect for and integrate microservice architectures into their environments and work process. Most think that a crew of former sysadmins can just spin up a few saas services, slap some autoscaling on it if they’re feeling spicy, segment along traditional monolith “frontend/backend” lines for “security,” and call it a day. They then spend time and money learning and/or fighting this system, only to see minimal (if any) improvement in work capacity/quality and instead end up with an outsized cloud bill.

Going through a breakup after a 7 year relationship in my early 30s which turned my life upside down (but ultimately led me to where I am now).

Right after I became homeless, went in and out of the hospital, went through a dark period as an active drug abuser and addict, walked out on an established, high paying profession and career, moved 1200 miles away from a city I loved, gave up on humanity and myself…etc.

But ultimately I see now that as hard as that period was, it got me to where I am today, and I would do it all over again to be where I am now: married to my best friend, father to the brightest, most joyful baby in the whole world, hitting my stride as a trusted advisor and recognized leader in an entirely different career field, living in a place I adore, in my own house that im fortunate enough to be able to afford all by myself, making art, music, and delicious food every single day, and most of all having faith in myself as an individual for the first time ever.

That experience, as dark as it was, taught me that not only can I survive anything that doesn’t actually kill me physically, but I can thrive in any environment and circumstance if I so choose.

Stern has been around for ever. You could also just use a shared label selector with kubectl logs and then grep from there. You make it sound difficult if not impossible, but it’s not. Combine it with egrep and you can pretty much do anything you want right there on the CLI

Phenomenal. Reminds me a bit of Lucy from Disenchantment

I associate it with a recent Chris Rock special (I think the one from 2018), but couldn’t find the clip. A few comedians have made a similar joke over the years, though the earliest I could find was Stanhope like 2 decades ago: https://youtu.be/vXpsT3e8UsM?si=H5O35tJNDi9PzHvG

I’ve used this reference more times than I can count. Killed me when I first watched it

Sounds great. Feel free to DM at your convenience. Re: pay, how about if you like it and choose to go with it you can donate whatever you feel is fair, otherwise no need since I don’t want you to pay for something you don’t end up going with. I make art for fun anyway so I’ll enjoy the process either way :)

I ask bc I’d be interested to take a crack at it, free of charge. It’s been a while though since I’ve done a commissioned piece and with life things it’d be a week or two at the earliest before I could get an initial draft to you, but if you’d like to share the details and have me put something up I can start this weekend

What kind of design/style and timeline did you have in mind?

Love the falling skyline piece

To add to this, on Lemmy I often find myself both agreeing and disagreeing with a user depending on the topic and community. It adds a layer of additional context and nuance to that user. If I was just to follow the user vs. community, however, I may get the impression that the user is not worth following if I happen to run across them on a topic that we have disagreements on.

VPN is your friend.
