Staring at the NYT Spelling Bee, trying to find the pangram. My wife quips: "It's BANGLION. You know, the nerve cells responsible for libido."
Just another luddite-lite looking for a replacement social media site.
Father, husband, occasional runner.

This week's Metal Maturday included "Bloodletting" by Concrete Blonde. The song always reminds me of @jonobie who introduced me to it (and the band)

2025/08/30 Metal Maturday
Two years ago today I set a lifetime PR of 155 lb overhead press (at 265 lb body weight). Last year I hit 115 @ <200lb bw. A new relative best today: the same 115 lb weight, but at 180lb! Relative to BW, that was 58% two years ago, and 64% today!
It's funny -- my kids have heard Limp Bizkit before. Bit now that they've seen them opening for Metallica they like them more.
It's kinda cool to have Metallica name-drop my city of 100k, because we have the stadium.
"Santa Clara, you sound good!"
"How are we feeling, Santa Clara!"
Back from 9 days in Hawaii; 5 nights at Aulani on Oahu and 3 nights in Kona on the Big Island. I was finally warm for the first time in months!
My diet / exercise plan seems to still be working. In the past 5 months I lost 3 lbs of fat and added 2.5 lbs of muscle! (according to the dexa scan). First time in my life being under 20% bodyfat.
3 months of Metal Maturdays in the books for 2025. 14 playlists. 230 songs. 189 unique bands. 92 bands appearing for the first time!
But if you add an emptyDir mount on /var/lib/docker, the pod may consume under 1GB memory, and the /var/lib/docker folder may never grow beyond 20GB. So somewhere hidden in the kubernetes setup overlay mount is the fact that every change to the filesystem just lives in pod memory instead of ephemeral storage.
Well, at least the mystery is resolved and we can get CI running again smoothly for everyone.
