Somehow I only learned of The Composable Architecture a couple of weeks ago. Not sure why I hadn’t seen anything about it before. Making my way through a tutorial and I’m generally impressed. I could see myself using it in a future project.

So the question is: what new way will elon find to ruin Twitter over the weekend?
There’s a lot of things I’ll miss about California. This is not one of them…
Starting my day in the California desert where temps are in the 80s and ending it in the Rockies where temps are in the 40s. Can’t decide whether to wear shorts or pants.
Think I’ll go with shorts because this might be my last chance to wear them this season.

Huh… Just felt an earthquake. Nothing major, just barely strong enough to make the house creek and the dogs start barking. Ended up being a 3.1 magnitude about 25 miles west of here.
Going to start posting a few photos over on Vero.
Here’s a shot I took last month from a lookout off Highway 160 in Colorado. It was a stunning drive through the valley.
Great to see continued improvements to iPad usability. Sure, they’re baby steps, but they are definitely heading in the right direction.
Finished watching season 1 of Only Murders in the Building. Thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns along the way. Can’t wait ‘til season 2!
Watched the Who Killed the Electric Car documentary with the kids this evening. Still tugs at the heartstrings to see how electric car tech was delayed for decades by actions portrayed in the film.
But it’s encouraging to see just how much has improved in the years since.
Adding some more storage to the TrueNAS server hosting my VMs. I needed some more space for a database server I’m working on. Here’s a video of the process I took to expand the pool.
Recently I’ve been giving TrueNAS another shot for shared VM storage. This time around it’s working much better. Here’s a video about my experiences in round 2.
Just published an update to XRG 3.1. This update fixes the battery graph on M1 Macs and has temperature sensor support for the M1 Pro/Max.
You know it’s a cold day when you drive on the highway for 15 minutes and your car still is nowhere near warmed up to its normal running oil temp.
Really impressed with the memory bandwidth of the M1 Max… 400GB/s is way faster than DDR4.
Single channel DDR4-3200 is only 25GB/s, so even EPYC servers with 8 channel memory only run at half the bandwidth.
Looking forward to having a big ESC key on the new keyboards. Even Apple’s desktop keyboards don’t have that… #vi
Just ordered a 14″. Here’s hoping the thermal headroom of the smaller case don’t result in fan noise driving me nuts like my current MBP.
And the world’s web activity is tracked by one less corporate conglomerate…if only for a day. #FacebookDNSFail
Made the mistake of forgetting to delete a snapshot on VMware from 6 months ago on a high traffic VM.
11 hours into the delete snapshot operation, and it’s only 16% complete.
A reminder to check your backups periodically. I was about to do a quick Time Machine restore this morning only to find my backups haven’t been running for the past 2 months.
I disabled them while traveling to avoid sending so much data over the VPN connection home.
Luckily, I had the files in another spot so I avoided data loss. Which brings up another topic…have multiple backups.
