One thing I struggle with as a co-founder is the work/life balance and being able to disconnect. I'm getting better at it but it was much easier to do when I had a regular job. There’s always something I'd like to do now...

After nine excellent years, April 30th is my last day at Canonical on Ubuntu & Snapcraft. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time working on so many interesting projects over the years, with such amazing people. It's time for some new adventures though. More on $NEWJOB another time.

Alright - gonna go ahead and give the TP-Link Deco Mesh WiFi System a try. I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes!
Looking at this for TP-Link. $129 seems like a steal? https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Deco-Replacement-S4-3-Pack/dp/B084GTH5LL/
@ndanes I'm guessing you have opinions - I know you went with Linksys. I would like to spend about $150 for the router + 2 APs - is that realistic?
I'm having a hard time justifying the cost of WiFi 6 for a new mesh system... we'll have gigabit internet soon (finally!) but honestly I'd only expect to get the max of out that if I was hardwired. I can deal with 300 Mbps or thereabouts over the air.
Any suggestions on systems / brands? To be honest I'm leaning towards the Google WiFi system just because they all seem mostly the same and I get 10% credit back for my Google One membership.
(Yes yes I know, don't mention google here... srry)
Finally got cable pulled through the conduit for the extension of the ISP service down our road!
Looks like I'll be trenching our yard this weekend. 😁
We're trying to hire a Lead Application Engineer at Moz. If you're interested or know someone who might be - let me know or share this job posting!
@garritfra Have you see Haxe language? You might find some ideas there for your own - https://haxe.org/
Why does my Thinkpad constantly throttle the CPU after I unplug AC power. Even typing into a box lags significantly (both in a browser and elsewhere). I've tried every quick trick to set CPU to high performance mode in the governor - but nothing does the trick except a reboot.
It's shit like this that makes me know my next laptop will be from an actual Linux vendor like System76.

Me & my big bro trying to remember a LEGO set we had growing up:
It was a pirate ship
No, it was a space ship
It had dragon wings
What? It had a periscope
There was a monkey involved
Wasn’t it a little boy?
Turns out, yes. It was all those things.

What made people like JSON was that they thought “Oh it’s just JavaScript, we can eval it straight up” and things were happy happy joy joy and then they remembered that there is something called malicious actors and then they had to write a parser anyway and everyone died.

I'm sure you will all be thrilled to know that my new rig now has 2 12v, 4 pin Noctua fans in it that are working perfectly! 😂
Mission complete!

It's an unusually kickass Monday. Because THIS Monday marks the beginning of my new role as a Community Space Manager with @VoiceHQ@twitter.com, plus the launch of Tech For Everyone!
I'll have a lot more to say and show you later. Until then, go rock your Monday!

@funnylookinhat I ended up figuring it out.
I needed to set up my git server so that requests to https://path.to/my/repo?go-get=1 returned a specific file with some metadata documented here:
https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths
The meta tag has the form: <meta name="go-import" content="import-prefix vcs repo-root">
