08:31 <@Mirage> I discovered last night when I happened upon an episode of "Live from Daryl's House" where "The Bacon Brothers" had been the guest artist.  Then I googled it and was stunned to see that not only is Kevin Bacon in an actual band w/ his brother, but that they've been putting out albums since 1999.
08:32 < Evilpig> I knew he had done that, I didn't realize they were still active
08:45 <@Mirage> Touring this fall.  The only venue of note is Epcot in Orlando.
09:55 <@Mirage> Time to choose a new electric plan for the next 1-2 years.   Trying to read between the lines and evaluate the gimmick for each is just annoying.  
09:56 <@Mirage> Oh, and it's not possible to view the actual terms for the one you currently have for comparison...you just get a high-level summary that's mostly useless.
09:59 < dasunt> For the love of god, if you are writing documentation on how to set up HA in containerized databases under Kubernetes, please actually test your solution.
09:59 < dasunt> I've found multiple howtos that would fail in the real world.
09:59  * dasunt is in a hating people mood today.
10:48 < Evilpig> dasunt: TIP it's the only way to container
10:49 < Evilpig> I rewrote a script that we use here last week and was about to deploy it on friday and hit a weird bug with RHEL6 and had to make adjustments.  that was after testing it in various funky ways over the previous three days
10:55 <@Mirage> Customer i wanting us to bump vCPUs on this AD-DNS server from 8 cores to 20 "to improve performance".   HAHAHHAHH
11:09 <@Mirage> Our windows SME in the call msg'd me that he thought they probably have something misconfigured in their environment because they ALWAYS have stability/performance problems with them.   I told him they should replace them w/ a couple linux boxes and call it good.
11:29 < dasunt> Was the bug actually still using RHEL6 in 2023?
11:30 < dasunt> Evilpig: Btw, TIP?  What's that?
11:30 < dasunt> Brain is fried now.
11:31 < Evilpig> test in prod
11:39 < dasunt> Evilpig: Oh, we call that business-as-usual.
11:39 < dasunt> Remember, peer review is that there's a peer somewhere, and that peer probably has a review mirror on some vehicle.
11:44 <@Mirage> Narrowed down the elec plan to these 4.  First is a flat-rate, the others have sort of gimmick to them.  The "Rate" for each is of course completely subjective and based on usage, so I included the past year's usage as a base.   We've got gas heat, so the majority of electric increase is during the summer.   https://i.postimg.cc/WT07jYTn/electric-plans.png

11:46 <@Mirage> Willing to bet that if I went through all the trouble of writing up something to parse through the exported "hourly" excel from each month that the difference overall would be negligible.
12:02 <@Dagmar> Then don't worry about the hourly.
12:02 <@Dagmar> Worry about what happens when something exceptional occurs and they charge everyone 30x-100x more than normal.
12:03 <@Mirage> Only idiots that don't have a plan w/ a guaranteed rate get hit like that.   TXU doesn't have any variable rate plans, but a lot of the other sub-providers do.
12:04 <@Mirage> Where our house is we're locked in on TXU vs being able to 'shop around' like we could in Plano where we had 'Reliant' most of the time.
12:06 <@Mirage> The whole system here in TX is just fucked up.   Oncor manages the infrastructure and produces the power, but they don't directly bill customers...that has to go through at least one intermediary and the rate differences between all the different sub-providers are just crazy.
