I love using it for writing scripts that need to sanitize data. One example I had a bash script that looped through a csv containing domain names and ran AXFR lookups to grab the DNS records and dump into a text file.

These were domains on a Windows server that was being retired. The python script I had Copilot write was to clean up the output and make the new zone files ready for import into PowerDNS. Made sure the SOA and all that junk was set. Pdns would import the new zone files into a SQL backend.

Sure I could’ve written it myself but I’m not a python developer. It took about 10 minutes of prompting, checking the code, re-prompting then testing. Saved me a couple hours of work easy.

I use it all the time to output simple automation tasks when something like Ansible isn’t apropos

I got like 10 follows in three days from actual accounts. I’ve posted/replied just a few times and my avatar is Richard Simmons. I figured something was up

I love my Instant Pot. You can probably find used ones now. It makes perfect rice and I use it to make oatmeal from steel cut oats nearly every morning. I also use it to steam vegetables like broccoli, especially potatoes for when I make mashed potatoes.

It’s a huge tablet screen, probably running Android or if I had to guess. I haven’t bothered trying to look. Joining my friends in classes was fun and the mini social network aspect of it, especially during the lockdowns. But in the end the stationary bike aspect works and I dont have to pay to go to a studio somewhere

Wife and I bought a Peloton. It works well, we love it. I’m going to cancel the subscription and just use the damn thing without attending the classes etc like an old school stationary bike.

Sucks bc I enjoy a couple of the classes but this is BS

Should we tell him?

He was essentially Newt Gingrich’s coworker for a while (worked at the same lobby). What a fall from grace.

Oh nice. Thank you.

Not a fan of it being forced upon anyone but I’ll add lately that I’ve been using it to spit out Python scripts and ansible playbooks to stunning efficiency that makes my life much easier.

I tried Bard last year and it sucked, maybe Gemini is better now. I could see myself paying for one of these eventually, given how much more free time I have with the kids (or at the bar!).

I took a good look at Apache CloudStack. I of course have been migrating stuff to k8s and working with cloud native stuff that can be hypervisor independent or bare metal even.

I’m this close to an NSX-T cert and that will be the last one. That will be in high demand for quite some time I’d expect.

I’ve done this for so long I might just be like that old Cobol programmer in need during Y2K at some point.

I’ve spent the last 15 years working with VMware exclusively. A little nervous about all of this

Please don’t bother. Target keeping the other fucking real swing states first and foremost

Comparing Discord to IRC is like comparing playing tennis to baking a cake. Just two entirely different things.

I’m watching an episode of Bluey with my kids right now and they’re playing Pass the Parcel and Lucky’s dad is trying to stop the music on his phone but his touch screen isn’t working lol.

How is Tlaib going to explain to her constituents that supporting Trump - who pushed the Muslim ban and called them shithole countries - by proxy will help them?

Biden may not have the best foreign policy but it really is a fascist wannabe dictator who will absolutely support Bibi regardless or we can choose Biden who isn’t a fascist who at least has shown some pushback.

I’m sure Biden won’t ignore WI, MI, PA this time around like Hillary did.

Every Business School 101 class will use this as a case study

Pulling a Sinema? lmao, not even fucking close.

I’m sure next time around, Conor Lamb will run in the primary again and you’re welcome to support him over Fetterman.
