Chuck @ home @chuck@linuxlab.sh

If you're doing any "fun" weekend projects for personal ops, and would like to share with the masses, #libreops is a great hashtag to follow and toot under.

Be as descriptive or vague as you like, who knows maybe you'll inspire someone else to explore the wild and wooly world of libreops - operations in the open.

ideas:

- building a SBC powered home appliance
- Drudgery work like syncing backups
- Patching systems (you are patching them, aren't you?)
- poking a remote unit thats gone AWOL

So my merit badges of positivity are slowly turning into shitposts.

Today's merit badge:

I've been thinking about this a lot lately...

Hey, I'm chuck - a pretty run of the mill geek. I like #art, #cinema, and interactive #storytelling. You might say I have a #dnd problem.

I've been a professional software dev for the last 12 years working in major projects. My claims to fame are contributions to #kubernetes and #juju from #ubuntu.

I fancy myself a DJ, and used to host a nightly show on #secondlife. But that feels like ages ago, now i just make mixtapes.

#introduction post

In the welcoming spirit, its probably good to do another introduction post for @adam

Everyone, if you can take a moment to welcome my dear friend @adam to the fediverse, it'd be much appreciated!

He's a super talented software developer, passionate about open source. Not to mention he's a bang up writer!

I couldn't be happier to see you here my friend!

Welcome aboard!

perfect mood music for my upcoming D&D Campaign - sets the mood nicely.

I'm at a point i need to "upgrade my desk" - i have an ikea sit/stand combo. Open poll for suggestions - i can either replace the legs + motor on this desk or invest in something new. Curious if anyone has strong opinions about this because i've not desk shopped in about 8 years.

I'm leaning towards replacing the motor+legs, but this desk is apparently known for the motor going bad within a few years of purchase.

"buy it nice or buy it twice" feels appropo

So, while so many of the staff members are out this week, i'm taking the opportunity to train up interns and other junior devs with some semblance of "calmness" around the remote office.

So without any further context:

Whats the general consensus on Mono Repos 'round these parts?

We have a diverse git layout of repositories that are all inter-linked and the distributed nature of the config / app code / etc. is startling to these jr devs.

Is a monorepo a good fix?
