In love-hate relationship with machines. Doing weird stuff, so you don't have to. Personal account, expect no perfection. Currently: everything OpenJDK at AWS.
Repair Cafe: Saturday, July 26, 11:00..15:00 at Potsdam SLB. (Surprise! No summer break for us!). Come bring your curiosity and your broken devices, we can tinker together. We speak German, English, Russian.
Me: Enjoys astrophotography, complains about the clouds. Also me: Literally works for a cloud company.
Стоит ли удивляться обилию кринжовых горизонтально-поликульных твиттор-тредов, если мы буквально выращены на книжках популярного гостера?
German children books are teaching the way local economies work. Easter bunnies cry about skilled worker shortage, enlist some farm animals to "help" with their work. Hired animals proceed to do it... arguably poorly. But the easter bunnies are happy and rest instead. 10/10.
The Turing test is woefully inadequate in the times when people are able to see Jesus face in a toast. There is a considerable overlap between sufficiently smart toasters and insufficiently smart toaster users. Especially when toaster is well trained, and users are not.
If this astrophotography thing does not work out, I can always switch to bird^W insect watching. This little bug is about 1 arcminute wide, roughly the angular size of International Space Station.
Who spent 3 hours in the sun yesterday, capturing 320+ GB of Sun footage in good seeing, but somewhat strong wind, only to discover at the end of the session that mount head was not properly screwed in and wobbling? <--- This guy.
Extremely fun Sun today. First attempt at compositing disk/limb/proms shots, what a day to randomly try one!
PSA: If you are running your servers outside the plane of ecliptic (not advisable), expect some of your workloads to mysteriously fail in the coming days.
