Head over to http://fallingfruit.org and do a filter for "Freegan". My locale has people marking dumpsters with food that is available. And if dumpster diving isn't your thing, then wild edibles is another option. I personally haven't dumpster dove for food, but based on what I have read, you'd be hard pressed to starve in the US.

I've been teaching wilderness survival and outdoors skills for years. I've been thinking of migrating "digital detox" into some type of outdoors settings, environment with a focus on doing nothing. (Plus if your phone doesn't work, you're stuck in the woods anyway...).

I'll be interested in the comments here for some ideas also.

Jenkins is to CI,

as Nagios is to monitoring.


Both work ?


They both work perfectly fine for the very limited use cases they were meant to, at the time they were made, with the limited resources that were available.

Just like foot is the best way to travel and commute to work every day, as proven by the last 10000 years of people using theirs.


I find when people say the tools are limited they are trying to use the wrong tool for the job.

2 cents


> I find when people say the tools are limited they are trying to use the wrong tool for the job.

The tool is wrong because the tool is limited?


No, the key difference is that Nagios has perfectly viable alternatives (Zabbix admin here and it's not the only one). Jenkins however has no alternatives.

Bamboo or whatever it is called now is typical Atlassian crapware. Expensive as fuck, eats more resources than the stuff it builds, and did I mention it is yet another half assed product that got shoddily integrated into the usual Atlassian lineup?

Gitlab CI is great for anything that is code (think build, test, deploy), but it is not suited for abstracting "non-development" jobs which can perfectly be automated in Jenkins (e.g. creation of a dev environment with fresh data from production). Plus it is Docker and the runners are polling - which means at minimum 10s startup time compared to milliseconds for a Jenkins shellscript job running on a ssh connected slave!

Github and friends are cloud which is a big no-no. We're placing too much power in the hands of AWS, GCE and Azure already, no way in hell it is a good idea to put private source code to a cloud provider.


GoCD?


Teamcity?


As a young man, I grabbed a 6146B tube before it discharged. I felt fine, until the pain started.



It said I had a neutral accent...

I grew up in the deep south and make Andy Griffith sound like a northerner.


Interesting. I also grew up in the Deep South, but people are always surprised to hear it, claim I "don't have an accent", etc. And yet, the quiz positively identified me as having a Southern accent.

I assume it's because this quiz is only asking about how we pronounce words, and doesn't measure any other speech metrics like tempo/cadence. I guess I don't have the drawl, but still pronounce words with a Southern accent. Maybe this is why it confuses me so much when my wife pronounces Don and Dawn the same, which was question #2 on the quiz. ("Wait, which person are you talking about?!")

Maybe you have the drawl but not the Southern pronunciation?



Thanks for saving me the click.


I stood up WireGuard on my server this past weekend, and I am totally stoked about it. In fact, I am turning off OpenVPN on it at this very moment. It was stupid easy to turn up.
