Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>🧱 Just finished reading The Lego Story, fascinating history about the brick empire. Available on Amazon, but I also found it on local library’s extended electronic catalog.</p><p>💰 <a href="https://amzn.to/3RUVy5i" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">amzn.to/3RUVy5i</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>alexm wants to merge 6 commits into main from fix-borkedness</p>
Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>In short, nc closes connections as soon as it's done reading STDIN, unless you pass it a timeout parameter -- quick enough for a direct-to-pod response, but not once we NAT through a service. And naturally, different variations of nc/netcat have different parameters for this and behave differently.</p>
Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>Had I just deployed the application without testing it, would have just worked the first time. But because I attempted to verify connectivity with nc, we went round in so many circles.</p>
Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>I spent several days this week troubleshooting <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Kubernetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Kubernetes</span></a> networking, stumping numerous experts, and it turned out to be a usage issue with <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/netcat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>netcat</span></a> instead. 😱</p>
Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>Baltimore Center Stage now offers masking options:</p><p>"Today, we’re announcing an update to our COVID-19 policy, which will align with local safety guidelines and give each audience member a choice of how to attend our performances in the way that best matches their comfort level. Starting with the upcoming run of Crowns, which begins on February 11, our show calendar will feature a mixture of mask-required and mask-optional performances on specific days of the week."</p><p>Simple and sensible.</p>

Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>One hour+ into Operation Delete the Tweets using the Developer API.</p><p>Perhaps unsurprisingly, I can't tell what the rate limits are for deleting tweets, the docs don't appear to align with real world at all.</p>
Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>I feel like I had API keys from a decade ago, but no telling where they are now.</p>
Alex Moundalexis 😷<p>🎱 Will my <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Developer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Developer</span></a> account be approved in a timely manner? quick enough to delete a lot of old content before "free" <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/API" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>API</span></a> access disappears?</p>
