Exceptional
* the intended vibe here is that anything that pages frequently should be automated away

A take on pages.

Pages should be
1) Urgent
2) High Context
3) Exceptional

Urgency
* Should be a real problem that cannot be handled by less obtrusive means
* Should be sent to the right responder

High Context
* Should have a clear purpose/reason for existing
* Should be actionable / have runbooks most of the time and whenever possible ( Systems are full of unknown unknowns and some pages will correspond to novel failures where no a priori guidance is possible.)

wdyt?

🤔 where can I learn more about advanced topics in autoscaling? For example:
* Service A makes calls to Service B, B has no other clients
* I want to move both to autoscaling
* If A sees 50% less traffic during US evenings, I'd like A and B to scale down to save money
* If A has an incident, I want to avoid B scaling down and creating a thundering herd during recovery

@marcbrooker any suggestions? RIP old Twitter...

“Regal UA, downtown Berkeley’s last movie theater, is slated to close”

This is disappointing. Just saw M3GAN there last weekend (super fun if you like that sort of thing), and saw Spirited Away there in October. The Regal UA and Landmark Theatres’ Shattuck Cinemas often had things showing that you couldn’t see elsewhere in the area.

Regal UA, downtown Berkeley’s last movie theater, is slated to close

The parent company of the Regal UA Theater will reject the lease Feb. 15 as part of bankruptcy proceedings, according to Business Insider.

Any recommendations for portable monitors for pairing with a 13”MBP? Eg power over thunderbolt, lightweight, good monitor properties (brightness, contrast, accuracy, refresh rate)?

How much will you actually save, especially once you control for high KWH embarrassingly shiftable workloads (like your dryer). 50c/day?

Maybe the time would be better spent planning solar, whole home battery backup, etc 🤷‍♂️

I have more library cards on Libby than organizations in Slack 💪

If I want something more powerful than an N95 for a flight, is a 3M 6502QL + 7093 P100 filters a good choice, or ?
