First Black Sabbath album i got my hands on was "Black Sabbath", years after it's release. And decades later still shapes my music taste.

Nuff said 🤘

It's only getting darker
It may be moving faster
Well it won't stop spinning
But how long will it remain?

This repulsive world
The crimes we all commit
It's not your #gravy
It's not your #gravy
#Gravy

The tension keeps building
The changes are rapid
We're through competing
Is it better to retreat?

This repulsive world
The crimes we all commit
It's not your #gravy
It's not my #gravy
#Gravy

#gravy and since I work in #it = #gravity (maybe, probably, in a other spacetime continuum. in Ainese/Synthorian, ...)

Quote from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/blog/2025/04/24/tired-of-all-the-restarts-get-hotpatching-for-windows-server/ : "Hotpatching is available at no charge to preview now, but starting in July with the subscription launch, hotpatching for Windows Server 2025 will be offered at a subscription of $1.50 USD per CPU core per month."

WaaS just got additional meaning, namely - Whatever As A Subscription/Service

Tired of all the restarts? Get hotpatching for Windows Server - Microsoft Windows Server Blog

#vultr 🤷 If you need a outgoing NAT GW (please don't ask) for a VPC, you must set up your own (e.g. linux instance and some twiddling with nftables is needed and if you want to optimize the instance you will also need to do some tuning of kernel parameters). And I'm a pain in the ass for our developers, asking them about HA, firewall rules and stuff 🤣

Few days ago I finished reading "Collapse of an Empire: Lessons for Modern Russia" by "Yegor Timurovich Gaidar". I'm not an economist..., but oh boy, the book was an interesting read.

And to continue the same theme, now I'm reading "Empire " by (copy&paste) "Ryszard Kapuściński".
