As part of our Debian 12 upgrades at work, we're switching over to SSDs for our file servers. This will give a nice speed boost, only thing I don't like is that I have to screw all of these to larger brackets, and they don't have serial numbers printed at the back so I have to make custom labels.

@kdedude Next time I'll let you know and we'll see if we can make a plan!

About to head home, had a great week in Germany! https://jonathancarter.org/2023/05/29/minidebconf-germany-2023/

I'm in Hamburg for day 2 of #MiniDebConf Germany (first day for me, had lots of delays arriving yesterday). After traveling I asked myself "why do I do this!?"... but today I got reminded again, #Debian people are really great to hang out with and for solving problems together!

@mart_brooks Hang in there!

It appears that I am way too easily entertained.

Terrible UX example of the day... today I tried to do a simple task on GitHub, and unexpectedly this dialog pops up. How to I make it go away so that I can continue with my simple task without being further interrupted?

@znoteer Yeah, I did Xhosa as third language in primary school, so learned all the clicks there.

Taking a stab at learning isiXhosa again. Might just be the toughest 'yellow' in any language. :-o

It's almost unreal, the vote for this year is now concluded, and I'll be Debian Project Leader for a 4th term, thank you for the support!

A big thank you to past me who bought cookies and forgot it behind my computer monitor at work.

Ah, just had a weekend that was both productive and relaxing, now I can go to sleep and start the new week good and early and keep running on this momentum...
