  So Bruce Springsteen wrote the original version of “Blinded By the Light”. But Manfred Mann’s version was the one that was a huge hit. And Mann’s version does say “wrapped up like a douche” (versus Springsteen saying “revved up like a duce”).

  I saw an interview with Springsteen where he speculated that was the biggest writing mistake he’d made. If only he’d said “wrapped up like a douche”, maybe his version would have sold better.

  Count the Emmys on your wall! Lay me down and tell me who’s the boss! I’m sure that Angela will never know!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there a set top media player that doesn't require an online account?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do have one, yes. I’m not currently using it, but if I recall it is basically vanilla OSMC, yes.

  The Vero V isn’t too bad: osmc.tv/vero/ The hardware is decent, and the remote is surprisingly better than I expected.

  Technically, Midway is considered uninhabited, so while I wouldn’t dream of telling them to fuck off, most census measurements already do…

  And American Samoa.

  “But John Galt says we can make a rich person utopia if we want to!”

  Just in case the sarcasm wasn’t clear: objectivism dumb.

  Scuba kinda sounds like what Loki and other “modern” log aggregation tools do: A message field and lots of metadata that is efficiently stored so queries are fast. I do understand the poster’s frustration with the “three pillars”, and agree that Open telemetry feels over-engineered at times (seriously… what’s “baggage”?). But the three pillars really do all have a place! While we absolutely can generate stats from logs, the storage improvements alone from leveraging a TSDB are worth it as we scale. And tracing gives incredibly unique insight into the path a request takes through our systems.

  Actually worked with this guy briefly. If I recall correctly this was from a decomm moving from a DC in Utah. Nice guy. Really good DC tech.
