🤔 Apparently, sending emails is now rocket science. In the quest to build an "idempotent email API" (whatever that means), our hero bravely battles spam filters with the ferocity of a wet noodle. 🚀 Perhaps next time they'll invent a spam filter that filters out their own blog posts. 😂

I hate that I need to work to maintain my Maslow Level 1 needs. Don't get me wrong, it'd be pretty awesome to be able to take it all the way to the top of that pyramid of self-actualization without needing to work too, but I'd definitely settle for just being able to take a lengthy, multi-year hiatus from working to address decades of accrued burnout and not worry that I was going to lose my house or that my family would go without food. Maybe I should start an OnlyFans but just do paid videos on properly writing reusable #terraform and supporting #idempotent delivery with #ansible.

If it's all about carving off network resources can I call it OnlyLANS?

Crap...I think I made this joke before. I'm having a distinct sense of deja vu. That's how burned out I am. Even my shitposting is tired.

Honestly though, #podman and #systemd together is brilliant. 😍

Systemd is already able to do everything a job orchestrator does. As it is one for one machine. 😅.

Still thinking how to do on a server in an #idempotent way. 🫠

Recently I’ve been seeing various terms used in the industry and thought I’d sit down to sort some of it all out. Sometimes I think people try to slice and dice the meaning of words too much and that…

@theDoctor I'm not looking to use them at this point. Not what I want when it comes to the #ImmutableOS.

Here the focus is self hosted system that is completely #idempotent. If it was my desktop, very different story. 😁

But for bootstrapping and provisioning with zero human interface, these three are my current favorite.

Following #forensic practices, I imaged everything in sight with #safecopy: harddrives, CDs, DVDs, USB keys. Took some time because one laptop had a known faulty #Toshiba 1TB harddrive (that my father lost some work on already).
Then I wrote a script to mount the images read-only, and #rsync interesting files for easier access. Made it #idempotent so I could modify rsync filters and run the script again.

Right now, someone is sitting down and learning how to deliver infrastructure as code for the very first time. Maybe it’s #terraform, or #cdk, or #ansible. They’re hearing the word #idempotent for possibly the first time. They’re going to Google things and check StackOverflow. How we all comport ourselves in answering questions as the folks who ostensibly know what we’re doing has a tremendous influence on their ability to stay in the game. We were all newbies once. Be kind, don’t be a jerk.

Building Resilient Systems with #Idempotent #APIs

Pretty unsure about generating the idempotency key on the server, which requires an additional roundtrip. Better use the client for it.

Building Resilient Systems with Idempotent APIs

Networks are unreliable but our systems cannot be. What is Idempotency? Idempotency is...

On my voyage for more #idempotent systems, deploy-rs is really resonating with me right now. 😁 It's a #nix #flakes profile deployment system.

Fancy for, you write a declarative config and it gets what you need correctly. 😅 It's really making me rethink of my #ansible usage. At least for provisioning.

For troubleshooting though, you'll need to pry ansible from my dead hands to get rid of the love. 😁
