If you've been hit with Github going down at the worst time like when you're just trying to get your PR merged I've got something for you.

Before you start work you can check for omens that tell you if Github is likely to work or go down.

(Yes this is a joke, it's comic relief more than anything else)

I run a reverse proxy that handles the TLS termination for that reason.

Services themselves are constrained to the server, bound to listen on 127.0.0.1 only.

Key is only available to the reverse proxy.

I’ve been buying the same model of Brooks (the Ghost one) for _years_ because they fit well for me and while they release a refresh every other year or so they feel the same to me when I buy a new pair.

Sure hope they keep producing them because finding a different model that works for me would be kind of shit

But then, if you’re inside the network you’ve already overcome many of the boundaries

Let me introduce you to the world of _devices for keeping small kids asleep_.

For whatever reason they won’t work when hooked up to a charger and of course the moment you need them most the batteries have gone dead so you must charge…

At this point I can’t help but think that the people who design these things really hate parents
