  • Companies claiming 99.9999 uptime is an absurd goal for a SLA, and wouldn’t even survive a small internet outage like a DDoS attack or Akamai outage. I remember in the 90s selling the idea of 5 9’s - 99.999% on my resume until some manager who Interviewed me asked me to state the expected downtime. I stopped claiming that number because it’s impossible without full active redundancy in different locations and not dependent on external providers like cloudflare ever going down.

    And please don’t argue maintenance windows “cover it” because that’s not how they work in the real world today.

    Downtime per year:

    • 99% ~3.65 days (5,256 min)
    • 99.9% ~8.77 hours (526 min)
    • 99.99% ~52.6 min
    • 99.999% ~5.26 min
    • 99.9999% ~31.5 seconds

    For my home lab I’m happy my stuff is online and content I hardly lose access when there’s a power outage thanks to my ups. But if I tracked I’d be closer to 95%. Good enough but I can’t wait till I just don’t care to run anything.





  • Before the physical photos were digitized…

    Not sure about you but in my house we had a photo wall where the best memories were and the books just held the “other photos” that also told the story. Most of my books from my parents were smaller and less memorable things like parties, fireworks, camping… but the shot of me scoring a goal, my sisters in a pyramid, that year we all dressed as scooby and gang…that was on the wall and now of course, on our digital frames we all own.

    I’ll agree the value of a photo goes down when you can take 200 in a minute, but the memories we missed because we had to save the other 20 shots left… didn’t make those memories priceless.

    Also people, back that shit up. When my kids turned 18 I shared a drive with them of all their younger years and have a digital executor for when I die who knows where the pics are (and what to delete 😏)















  • My fave is when I asked Claude to help out and it reads my code and comments inline and then tells me “stupidmanager, im not sure what you were doing and your comments show you weren’t sure either”

    Wish I got a screenshot.

    Also, I almost as quickly fixed the issue after asking Claude and then asked for a review to which I told me I probably should hide the comments.

    Not sure when Claude got snark installed, but it’s to a point where I have a rule prohibiting it.
