Geek Rant — Linode/ReadWriteMany – Ceph
High availability is a concept that says you will have zero downtime. Consider an old world situation. You have a server that is serving exactly one website. On that server you are running an Operating System, a database engine, a web server (Apache/Nginx), an interpreter, and a bunch of code and HTML. In your browser…

Tuesday Tunes
There are many tropes in story telling. One of them is “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. People misjudge others all the time. I recently watched a video of a “prank” gone sideways. A “prankster” filled a gas can with water, went into a parking lot, found somebody sitting in their vehicle, poured the…

Hanson v. D.C. (ammunition feeding device ban) – Updated
B.L.U.F. Another District Judge gets it wrong because they are another rogue judge. Somehow, I managed to analyze this case twice. The first was back in April. The quoting is better, the references/citations are better. The snark is about the same. I believe it suggests that I’m getting a little better at this. The first…

Is it a sign of a problem?
I normally write my daily postings the night before. The article about pulling bullets was written Friday night for Saturday morning. After I wrote the article, around 2322, I decided it was time for bed. And got distracted on the way there. The reloading press was right there. I had warmed up the scale before…

Pulling Bullets
When you make a mistake, own up, do the right thing. I didn’t do the right thing. The right thing was to pull all the bullets for the hot loads I made. I didn’t want to because it is a bit of work, and I’m lazy. It should be safe to unload them through the…

Friday Feedback
Things are getting better. I have a few rounds to be pulled. All the “hot” rounds have been put in a safe place, and I’ll pull them tomorrow. There have been a couple of horrific opinions issued by the courts in the last few weeks. I’m going to be looking at more of them. There…

Rhode v. Becerra (Bonta) S.D. Cal. short update
Judge Benitez is hearing this case. I believe there are a few other cases he is hearing as well. Earlier this month there was a hearing. He has now set the schedule for the trial on the merits. This is the point at which he will hear all the evidence, decide which are “facts” and…

But it is supposed to be more reliable!
Kubernetes (k8s) is a tool for running containers on a cluster with a high level of redundancy. Consider the case where you have a website that must be up all the time. You containerize the website. This adds a gigantic level of security but still gives you great flexibility. The site is running just like…

O.F.F. v. Brown, Judges Opinion Pt. 2
B.L.U.F.More of analysis of the horrid opinion offered by Judge Karin Immergut out in Oregon. I’ve since learned that she spent most of her career, before becoming a district judge, working as a prosecutor for the government. She was actually a prosecutor for the ATF. OF course, she found a gun infringement constitutional. It is…

Do as I say, not as I do
On the wall of the living room is a display rack. My family got it for me for my birthday. It has an American Flag motif and holds four rifles and has a small cabinet at the bottom for ammo and other accouterments. On the bottom is a Henry Golden Boy in .22LR. Squirrel gun.…
