    As the final part of our move out of the cloud, we are working on moving 10 petabytes of data out of AWS Simple Storage Service (S3). After exploring different alternatives, we decided to go with Pure Storage FlashBlade solution.

    Sharpening the ax Optimizing maintained.sh to be less absurd · January 1st, 2025 So a while back (apparently October of two years ago?!) I wrote a shell script to automate the maintenance of my Alpine packages. It started out as a simple version checker, and grew into a full blow workflow automation tool.

    Image source: Wikipedia Ever seen this poster before? If you’re a silent film geek, you’ve likely spotted it on the thumbnails for YouTube uploads of A Fool There Was, the 1915 hoary melodrama that skyrocketed sex symbol Theda Bara to fame. Letterboxd uses it as the film’s main image, as does Wikimedia Commons. Cheapie DVD releases adorn their editions of the film with it too. Back in my greener days, …

    Buh-bye, Spotify
    I finally ditched Spotify at the end of 2024. I never loved it, and I felt extra icky about giving them my money ever since they had no trouble finding $250 million for the sham supplement salesman and douchebag magnet Joe Rogan, despite their inability to promote or pay the vast majority of the musicians who are the heart and soul of their service. The straw that broke the camel’s …

    The Best Non 2024 Films I Saw in 2024
    12. First Love (1978), directed by Dino Risi - I've seen a few Dino Risi films this year (mostly for the captivatingly beautiful Ornella Muti) and all I can say is that Italian sex fare has no business looking this good. Through a succession of accomplished cinematographers, including Tonino Delli Colli on this film), Risi's films take queasy romantics about the possession of a young Muti (usually) to new heights, …
