At least we are getting lots of other testing done in the meantime around here.

Azure Storage (is that Storage Spaces Direct that they run on?) is what failed and has been down for hours. They've finally figured out that their storage failed, but have no estimate for getting it back. GitLab is now totally down indefinitely.

Since we can't look at system updates tonight while GitLab is down. Or at least not as we normally do, we are talking the time to test some new stuff. We have CentOS 6 in the system now.

We've been updated. GitLab is down because Azure East 2 is down. Microsoft's latest status is that they are down for a while and will give another status update in about an hour.

They did a deployment, and almost immediately lost their storage.

Well at first, GitLab just went offline. That was about two hours ago, I think. Then they updated their status an hour and a half ago to say that they were doing a deployment. That went on for a while.

A few minutes ago, they announced this...

Working on cleaning up the mess from losing power!

And now we are sitting through a very lengthy GitLab outage.

We're going on what? An hour wait so far?

I think we are over an hour and a half at this point.

We are already getting ready to start playing with it for Sodium testing!

I know that it seems like a quiet evening here, but we are hard at work behind the scenes. Just wrapping up the work on one new installer and trying to do some polishing on another. @QuixoticJeremy is working on some complexities of key management and orchestration.

And the evening of deployments begins.....

Hopefully we will see some new stuff tonight. Fingers crossed.

Just installed. I want to see what it can do.

Well right now, it is very much a tech preview, but we are excited about how it is going. Our focus at the moment is getting solid data collection that really lets you see your assets and keep track of them. One step at a time, we have a lot of work to do. But things are coming along and changes are happening daily!

I stimply can't use mice for gaming any more. I'm too tied into the trackball ecosystem. Give me a logitec marblemouse, and I'm happy!

What decade is this?

I'm a time traveller, didn't you know?

Now I do.

I am a fan of Asus laptops as well. Well built and not overly expensive for what you get.
