Just started My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria with my wife and 7yo daughter - it’s a blast!

Sometimes I wonder if in 75 years people will look back on our caffeine use in this generation like we currently look back at cocaine use in products in the 19th century. Until then, I continue to slurp down coffee like that is my actual job.

This - no one can agree how long a day, week, month, year etc are!

Like sure it’s 24 hours in a day but is a year 365 days? No, not technically speaking.

Time has always been really hard for programmers.

Every time we see this in our legacy code we yell out: dolla-dolla bills 'yall!

(after) …ah crap it’s actually selinux…

And just 9 years after the idea was on adult swim.

Appa

We don’t have issues with unleashed dogs, or even with people not cleaning up dog crap, it’s just too much dog pee causes dead grass.

So it’s not directed at members for the states of their lawns (they are maintained by a common landscape company) it’s directed at people who have dogs who urinate - which is all of them.

It seems like all the retired people in the neighborhood have a excellent reason to be on the board but with a full time job and a kid I just don’t have the time to put towards good faith governance of the neighborhood. Maybe that’s the idea though - to get on the board and reduce their scope to paying the lawn care guys and collecting dues to pay the lawn care guys.

In an additional effort to refocus this thread to ground cover, has anyone here in the northeast US gone with a clover ground cover, rather than grass?

Interesting perspective. Other than being mad that dogs exist and inconsistent grass color I can’t imagine other slights dog owners are applying to the neighborhood. Maybe barking? But that has never really been a issue here, to my knowledge.

Paved alley, then other garages

something like this seems doable in theory but without describing the community let’s just say there is no spot to put this or any other ‘dedicated dog spot’, other than existing house’s lawns or the one 40’x40’ area which is the community green - and that totally is not going to happen.

Oh wow I read a functional ban on dogs as extreme rather than agreeable - that’s interesting.

The HOA is taking the ‘our responsibility is to keep a consistent curb-appeal’ stance so I think seemingly random houses not having grass at all may not be acceptable - though maybe that’s appropriate for the strip between the sidewalk and road.

I actually don’t know if a landlord has to do anything to keep a renter happy these days? Or if there is enough demand that they would not care? Not sure, perhaps I am approaching that question pessimistically.

A complicating factor: I would say ~50% of the houses are rented and only the homeowners have a say in HOA matters. So, assuming any owners without dogs (including the whole board) and any landlord would logically vote to ban all use of the grass, while all dog-owning homeowners would vote to allow dogs near the grass.

Obviously that’s generalizing what the votes would be - even though the majority of the houses have dogs, I would say the minority are homeowners with dogs.

The reason I bring this up is a petition-style response may be dismissed as “well those dog owners have no say as they are not homeowners”

Nomad is a breath of fresh air after working with k8s professionally.

Don’t get me wrong, love k8s, but it’s a bit much (until you need it)

Most of the freak out I have seen I interpret as: “license says we can’t use it while competing with you but that has no real definition”

To me, it seems like an acceptable license, especially since development is happening on GitHub and they take PRs. Also the feature in the license where it reverts back to MPL after 4y is a nice security against the company doing anything else crazy restrictive - as you can plan on falling back to that version as a nuclear option.

Ceph is excellent as a distributed storage solution - but should really have 4 machines with 2 or more drives each to reach a good level of redundancy - which is a bit much for most people on this sub.

One nice feature is it deals with heterogeneous drives well, like if you need to buy a bunch of used ones on eBay for cheap.

Probably not a good solution for your case because of the footprint - but good to be aware of it.

I was just thinking about it actually - I feel like it’s going to be the sheer amount of caffeine we ingest, or caffeine at all.

which reminds me, I need a coffee!
