  • 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.…
