Our Next AG?

You have to wonder if Matt knew how much push back there would be? Regardless, he functioned as a fabulous stalking horse.

Network Nerding

So when is a cluster not a cluster nor a cluster f___, nor a f___ing cluster?

When you are talking about OVN/OVS.

OVN provides for a clustered database. This is what is used to control the OVS network mesh. The clustered database should exist on 3 or 5 different nodes.

The OVS network mesh is a collection of individual nodes, running a virtual switch, that are meshed via tunnels. This is not a cluster.

A network node requires OVS-switchd and a copy of the local OVSDB. That’s it.

If you want OVN over the top, you need to add ovn-controller to the node, which talks to the OVN database cluster and the OVSDB.

Once I got that through my dense head, this stuff started to make sense. I’m now to the point where I can bring up a 6 node system, 3 OVN controllers and 4 network nodes in just an hour or so. And it all just works. I’m busy finishing some documentation that I will publish.

50,000 Words

Ally has been going great guns on her next cookbook. November is national novel writing month.

The goal is to write a 50,000 word first draft or part of a first draft in the month of November. You can then edit, add to, or finish your novel over the coming months.

I’m proud of her. This will be the 5th year, I think I have that right, where she has made her 50,000+ words for the Month of November.

Lever Guns

I love my lever guns. Has anybody had hands on the new “modern” lever guns? By modern, I mean a lever gun firing a modern caliber out of a box magazine.

My BS meter pegged hard in the red about the Gaetz accusations. Too convenient, too salacious, and not enough supporting evidence. And, way too convenient that it shows up just as soon as the man becomes a thorn in the side of the establishment. Does not mean he did not do anything wrong, but I am skeptical.

  Same.
  
  My first thought was, he was nominated by Trump, which means he’s tied to Trump, which means he’s subject to the same misleading or outright false reporting and accusations they constantly use on Trump.
  
  The media is nothing if not predictable, and past behavior says that where Trump is involved, they will lose their ever-loving minds.
  
  Does that automatically mean Gaetz is innocent of all he’s being accused of? Not at all. But it should make anyone considering him take a step back and ask, is all this noise just because of Gaetz’ alleged wrong-doings, or is it because he’s linked to Trump?
  
  (I admit that I don’t follow Florida politics or scandals as much as someone who lives there might, but the fact that I wasn’t aware of any accusations against Gaetz before his nomination to AG, serves to peg my B.S.-O-Meter firmly in the red. Was I just clueless, or is anyone else in that boat?)
