@vitriolix I wonder when any supporting infrastructure partners will start bailing? Imagine if the image caching service drops the account!

TIL: Google Cloud Platform blocks outbound email outside of a project's firewall rules. There is no way for a user to unblock it. Makes it difficult to set up email for a small server.

@ralfroeber I've worked with many people who know of and use many backend automation frameworks but they never have the letters "IT" in their job title.

I'm interested in doing some conference presentations on backend automation for industries (like aerospace) that are only now adopting practices that were commonplace 10 years ago.

“Going down the path of segmentation and zero trust is a heavy operational lift,” Schell says. “I highly recommend a very automated approach that incorporates a lot of orchestration capabilities for consistency in deploying policies and gives you far greater capabilities in how you monitor, manage and audit the networks.”

2023 goals: get dinosaur IT to at least operate software automation tools without fear. I've never met a single IT person in my industry who knows what Ansible or Terraform means. When I do a demo, I can see the fear in their eyes and hear the fear in their voices.

A former colleague @Stevewyshy is the DP for this short film Die Surely. A send up of the democratic party donor class who hang signs like "in this house, we believe water is life" in their windows.

As a San Francisco resident with a neighbor who literally has this sign in their window, I have the feelings. Check it out it's funny!
