Saw a real Eurasian Eagle-Owl today, for the first time. I knew that they are “large”, but I wasn’t aware just how big they are. Absolutely massive. 😅

(Since I’m an idiot, I only took photos with full zoom – so you can’t tell their size. 🤦)

Woohoo 🥳 Finally fixed the remaining bugs in my set of shell scripts for backing up Docker volumes:

https://git.mills.io/prologic/backup-docker-volumes

Has the behavior of:

- Given a Docker node;
- Find all active volumes.
- For each volume, find its running container or service,
- Stop the Container or scale down the Service.
- Run the backup on the volume
- Restart the Container or scale up the Service.

One of my main problems/blockers I think is that I use my Mac Studio as my primary backup target (_from my NAS and Docker volumes_), then I use Backblaze B2 as my secondary target from there. So my backup process is 2-step with two targets (_a local target and a remote target_). What I really need is another secondary smaller NAS that I can just host the tools on more permanently, hmmm.

I need to fully automate my backup/recovery process. I use restic as my primary backup/recovery tool and documented a process for Docker volume backup and restore with restic which I also use to backup Docker local volumes (_unfortuantely requires small amounts of downtime per service_) -- There is also this nice tool called auto-restic which I haven't gotten around to using yet, which I _thinik_ will help with automating. Right now I still kick the process of by-hand, whenever I feel I should probably do another backup 🤦‍♂️

Of all the jobs under threat by AI/ML, IMO artistic/creative jobs need to be protected at all costs. Why? It's what makes us human and makes things interesting. Without creativity I worry we'll just end up worse off.

So in the wave of all things AI and this roller coaster we're all on, apparently actors, writers and so on are all on strike. I don't recall seeing anything in my feeds about this, so I had to ask a few folk in real life wtf was going on there...

Turns out they're all on strike because they fear that AI/ML models will take over their jobs. There are numerous cases where "tech" has already replaced an actor, now it will just get much easier to do.

@stigatle @prologic seconded, that would definitely be nice
Yeah, that would be nice! At least when you think about the way things are going these days..
@osnews OpenBSD is a great OS! I really do like it, especially their ports system, very easy to compile stuff from source on any supported platforms.

Anyone got any cool shit™ to watch on Youtube? 🤔 One of the biggest downsides of all this streaming crap is that once you watch one thing, it fills your list with other similar things to that one thing. After awhile you get tired of the same shit™. Maybe it's just me, but I cannot stand this algorithmic garbage content shoved in your face.

Someone please help me change this 🤣 🙏
