So we just hired a contractor. We wanted a mid level devops like engineer that can handle cleanup tasks that we are far behind on. Grunt work, mostly like cleaning up terraform repos, adjusting configuration to comply with audits.

What we go instead is a highly pushy dude who really wants to push us to a specific stack architecture.

Right now we use a pretty old but standard setup of public lb to nginx, to app load-balancer to our app servers.

We want to move to Kubernetes but there have been some roadblockers with the way this app location is configured.

He's been trying to push us to move to a tool chain that uses terragrunt and terraform to deploy kubernetes and argocd.

We finally agreed to let him do what he wanted, and the very first thing he asked for is a separate AWS account, and the ability to register two top-level domains through Route 53.

Myself and management talked about it and while we understand the requirement for the AWS account,and how does complicate network infrastructure, we're a bit concerned about why he wants to register two new domains to work with.

I've been doing this for almost 10 years now, and I've read all of the documentation for these tools, and while I haven't used argocd and Terragrunt, I don't see any reason why they could not work with us to use one of our pre-existing domains.

Awesome, the United States has decided to ship nukes to the United Kingdom. Neither government will acknowledge this.

Ken Klippenstein does point out that this could be in preparation for removing nukes from other more volatile countries. But still, with nuclear weapons involved, I thought, you guys would find this a bit interesting.

But one word signals it’s more than just that — Omar’s mention of “defensive” capabilities also serves as a pointed critique of one of her closest colleagues and ideological allies in the House: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Contradictions present inside Netanyahu government are threatening to tear the Coalition apart.

Seems right now the major split is over the drafting of Orthodox Jewish people in Israel who are feverant supporters of the Genocide according to polling but do not participate in military action. It seems the rest of the Israelis who are drafted in the occupation force find this to be unfair.

Apparently though they promised tangential support to some of netanyahu's resolutions and this changed tonight now because coalition isn't automatic it's taking effect in a few days giving Netanyahu the chance to call back their support.

Wonderful watching an occupation Force lose stability.

al-Bukhaiti told Drop Site, “The lifting of the ban imposed on the Zionist entity is contingent upon the lifting of the ban imposed on Gaza.” Until then, he said, hostilities between Yemen and Israel will continue.

It would be very exciting if this puts a major dent in the occupied territories economy. Hopefully the US doesn't pick up the damn tab though.

I particularly was delighted by the ridiculous characterization of MacArthur Park as a “HIGH” threat level and an “area of historic lawlessness”; and of assigning federal agencies codenames like “Dr. Pepper,” “Pepsi,” and “R/C” (the off-brand Coke).

What a total shit show.

A worker indicated on social media that the union scheduled negotiations right before the Fourth of July, preventing workers’ ability to strike during the profitable holiday even if a tentative agreement had not been reached, as the union is required to give a 72-hour strike notice to the company.

Trade unions screwing workers out of their negotiating power and grocery stores desperate to keep their monopoly.

A match made in hell

Fuel to Air India Plane Was Cut Off Before Crash, Report Says

It appears that that Air India crash might have been caused by Pilot Error. While it's still early to be conclusive the black boxes do seem to confirm that there were no mechanical issues and that the fuel was cut off and caught the attention of the pilots.

The captain had 10,000 hours and the first officer had 3,400.
