    Most of my work at Obsidian Systems is operations related. Nix, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Prometheus, Grafana, etc. to run the Canton Network. It&amp;#39;s written in Scala, which I usually don&amp;#39;t have to deal with, but yesterday we had an incident from stack overflows and the stack trace exactly fit my area of expertise of 11 years ago: stack safe monadic interpreters in Scala. Easy fix: https://github.com/digital-asset/canton/pull/668

    I&amp;#39;ve used #Meshtastic for years but now there&amp;#39;s #MeshCore repeaters all around #Tasmania. I&amp;#39;ve just added a Wio Tracker L1 to our railway vehicle. Reports the GPS position of the vehicle via MeshCore telemetry back to our headquarters. Not sure if we&amp;#39;ll need any repeaters. Hoping to put this onto a TV in the shed. &amp;quot;How long will Brian take to check the track? Ah, he&amp;#39;s half way&amp;quot; Might put some solar powered trackers on our pedal vehicle...

    Vindicated for my absolute refusal to run any #PHP on my #homelab. A few times I&amp;#39;ve been recommended Grocy and I think maybe I&amp;#39;m being unreasonable. But I just have too much experience with PHP to execute it ever again.
