Just had my easiest game of #ApexLegends just now, where most of the other squads lagged out, leaving just 3 including me left, and then I somehow won in the end because even though I was outside the ring, it looks like the other played disconnected first 😂
It's 1700 and Anna Dodson and I are only just eating an Easter egg. We've definitely done something wrong 🤔
I use https://hetzner.cloud for my personal servers which have some in Germany but looks like not in Frankfurt unfortunately

I have bottomless rage at having been forced to spend about a thousand hours of my life in “physical education” classes that did not teach me how to stretch, train, or even lift a heavy box properly but did teach me to hate exercise twitter.com/cavalorn/statu…Post details
PE teachers can wreck your health. Dr Anne Elliott found that bad experiences in school PE actively deterred people from taking exercise in later life & led to a state of alienation from their own bodies. eprints.mdx.ac.uk/22163/Adrian Bott (@Cavalorn)Sat, 11 Apr 2020 10:45 +0000

I followed the instructions in https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/coreutils which prompts you to update your PATH
: PATH="$(brew --prefix)/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
which worked wonders, and I now no longer need to prefix with g

Morning project was installing a bidet and my not-handy-in-any-way partner exclaims "wow how do you know how to do this?? Did you do this as a kid??"

Used to but moved to Hetzner as performance and cost wasn't as good, and I had a few issues with downtime - one which left me with a fairly critical server dead for over 24 hours and needed restoring from backups
Anna Dodson and I have had great fun playing Good Job - it's a nice mix of casual strategy and chaos

Not that I'm aware of, sorry!
Can't comment on the Kubernetes angle, but I've been using https://hetzner.cloud and have had good experiences - fast, competitive price and no issues with unexpected downtime 👍🏽
I guess you'll have to have another 😅
With apologies to Mattias Geniar and Jan-Piet Mens after their conversation on @SysCast_Online - I don't write POSIX scripts, and instead use GNU tools, even on BSD https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/04/11/bad-posix-citizen/
