05:47 <@Mirage> Amazingly I only had ~1400 emails from last week (for accounts I work).   I get more than that on most weekends.
07:02 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:03 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: When is your whiz quiz?
07:27  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:27  * aestetix puts the daily question in the microwave and waits for the timer to go off
07:52 < Evilpig> Dolemite: been watching my email like a hawk, still no appointment
07:52 < Evilpig> i'm holding it in right now, if they don't let me know soon I might pee myself
07:52 <@Dolemite> LOL
07:53 <@Dolemite> Sounds like the good ol' days of when I was on campus.   You could tell it was coming because the "random" screenings would basically hit all of ITSD at one time.   When you heard that a coworker had to go visit medical, you knew you would be getting that call soon, too.
07:54 <@Dolemite> The worst was the couple of years that they had it outsourced.  There was a bus that they'd park by the visitor center - like the blood drive buses - and you'd have to stand in line out in the sun because there wasn't enough room for more than 3-4 people in line inside the bus.
08:13 <@Dolemite> 55% discount at Usenet Farm for CyberMonday.  Code CM2022
08:13 <@Dolemite> *cough*
08:18 <@Dolemite> I use them as my block provider for articles that are missing from the primary
08:22 < Evilpig> I think I just did the whatever monthly with them already
08:22 <@Dolemite> I just bought another 1 TB block for 13.5 Euro
08:23 <@Dolemite> So $14
08:23 < Evilpig> same discount code there.  I did the $5/mo plan
08:23 <@Dolemite> yeah it's the same discount as their Black Friday
08:24 <@Dolemite> Ok, where do I invest my monthly allotment in Robinhood today?   Which stocks do you want to crash because I invested in them?
08:24 < aestetix> Dolemite: spacex
08:24 <@Dolemite> they don't have their own ticker that I'm aware of
08:25 < aestetix> Or you could just top off your tesla stock
08:25 < aestetix> oh they don't? damn
08:25 < aestetix> How about facebook?
08:25 <@Dolemite> Tesla is already tanking enough with Elon's help
08:25 <@Dolemite> And my $250 isn't going to buy enough stock to kick him off the board
08:33 < NotLarry> There was a myth from my youth (in really really early days of drug testing) where a sailor was called down for a random drug test and crushed a qualude into his urine test.  Guess who got to take the test again when the results came back.
08:35 < Evilpig> i've been eating poppyseed muffins all weekend in preparation
08:38 < aestetix> Evilpig: you should take something that will turn your pee bright green or blue
08:39 < Evilpig> the glycerine load in my urine is already enough to make most people raise an eyebrow, no need to color it
08:43 < aestetix> it would be like a fun gag for whoever is handling the sample
09:46 < dasunt> I am more or less convinced that Kubernetes was designed for the use case of "we have to manage easily parallelized processes" and has been quickly repurposed for "our deployment process is crap and our code dependencies is a nightmare, so we'll make a container."
09:48 <@Dolemite> Eh, the latter applies to even use cases of docker-compose on a VM
09:49 <@Dolemite> So I wouldn't toss that on K8s
09:49 <@Dolemite> But that is actually the benefit of containerizing - your fucked up dependency hell can be maintained separately from the host system
10:00 < NotLarry> Yeah, that is the primary reason we adopted singularyity, users:|
10:01 < aestetix> I mean
10:02 < aestetix> k8s was developed by google to maintain their level of infrastructure
10:02 < aestetix> So.... if you have google's problems, it makes sense. If you're running a wordpress blog, not so much
10:02 <@Dolemite> Even if you're not running at G-scale, k8s is very handy for programmatically spinning up a deployment environment
10:02 <@Dagmar> Yeah it wasn't designed to be some kind of inescapable box
10:03 <@Dagmar> ...and people keep trying to use it like that
10:03 <@Dolemite> It's also quite good at pulling the tablecloth out from under the dinnerware in terms of deployment
10:03 < aestetix> Well they use it because they heard it was good
10:04 <@Dolemite> People try to use it for things it's not designed for.  In that respect it's no different than trying to use a hammer to drive in a wood screw.
10:04 <@Dolemite> If you bang on it hard enough, it will go in, but likely destroy everything in the proces.
10:04 <@Dolemite> process
10:04 < aestetix> Dolemite: yep
10:05 < aestetix> Dolemite: you'd think they'd at least take a training course or something first
10:05 <@Dolemite> But it's fantastic for web based applications
10:05 < aestetix> However... I see it used a lot as a way to throw hardware at a problem instead of improving the system/code
10:06 <@Dolemite> To use k8s you need to either refactor your code for cloud native design, or already be running close to that paradigm
10:07 < aestetix> At least it's better than just running everything through lambda and then wondering why your bill is so high
10:20 < dasunt> I do love k8s when it comes to cloud-native design, but holy shit, do people are prone to the hammer-driving-screws problem.
10:21 <@Dolemite> I manage our enterprise k8s clusters where I have a no hammers allowed policy, but I also maintain some clusters for the R&D folks, who seem to have nothing but hammers
10:22 <@Dolemite> Then again, so much of the R&D is based on Java, anyway.  It's nuts.
10:24 <@Dolemite> welp, time to go find something for lunch.  Leftovers are all gone.
10:24 < aestetix> How about a kubernetesburger

10:39 < dasunt> That workplace sounds exhausting.
10:52 <@Dolemite> Mirage, we need to talk about your uniform.   You are only wearing the minimum required amount of flair.
14:51 <@Mirage> Good for a laugh:  https://youtu.be/k8kTK_cqbHg

14:51 <@Mirage> Talking about hand sanitizer I pictured Dag and it made it all the more funny.
15:01 <@Dagmar> I don't rub my hands together evilly _that_ often
15:01 <@Dagmar> Mainly it's the laugher that gets me in trouble
