  • Mostly racism, sexism, bad-faith arguments, and some religious stuff. I often double-check a person’s post history to make sure I’m not just reading it wrong. I also do so to make sure I’m not blocking someone for a single bad day or bad take.

    I think younger me would have argued more or tried to convince them of things by showing evidence, but I just don’t have the time or energy at the moment; I have a full-time job, a small farm, and home maintenance on the (used) house I moved into 6 months ago.







  • There are a few options off the top off my head

    1. the route/connection between the monitoring and you is OK; between the company and the monitoring is OK; but between you and the company is not OK – this means that, so far as the monitoring can tell, the site is up.
    2. The status checks run at some interval and you’re hitting it before that interval
    3. There’s some threshold of errors that needs to happen first so tiny hiccups don’t register as full-blown outages.
    4. the monitoring/metrics are poorly-designed

    There are probably other cases. I don’t know the architecture in this case, so I won’t speculate at any others.











  • Work has me using my current phone for alerts on my on-call rotation. I asked them to send me a pager instead if I can’t properly filter the alerts (Jira on Android has at least 2 sets of notification settings and then there are settings apparently within Jira. I was getting basically every Jira, Confluence, etc. message).
