in the absence of photo-oriented website (for now), and instagram account (forever), going to start sharing some of my photography here.

it’s a rare, empty escalator of the Parliament Station in Melbourne CBD. it used to be the longest escalator in the Southern Hemisphere (30m), but has been surpassed by several others since, including the new State Library Station (42m).

it’s impossible to not get vertigo/heebie jeebies here.

@benschwarz someone rode straight at me, directly at my face while crossing the road today, and looked surprised to find me there.

I decided to go looking for what configure flags I should actually be using because in my first attempt I found that by default it does not compile with optimisations. It is beyond me why this is not the default in the distribution tarball

If I shared an image with y’all, and asked you to deploy into your hobby compute cluster (ideally k8s based) and report back how you found the experience, what reservations might you have, and how might I address them? It’s a diagnostic tool I’ve been building.

@kauer no, I just disagree with you, I’d rather respond with humility and give the interviewer some grace

@kauer have you worked with me in the past? If not, I’m not sure I asked for your opinion.
