I was in the market to buy a new E-Reader since my old Kindle started to act funny (Random shutdowns while reading and it won't come back for several minutes).

After the announcement I decided to switch to physical books

It feels like that every time I need to put in some evening hours to get things done, github knows and turns the chaos monkey up to eleven.

But if you only got that IP and a MAC-Address - how do you know which tenant is supposed to adopt the device?

Do I miss something? How do you adopt the device in the first place? If you have to SSH into the device and set the inform URL manually could't you just route the request based on the request hostname?

I've been migrating some Workflows to dagger.io. So far it's amazing.

I don't get the hate about Microservices. Use Event Sourcing to eliminate the whole S2S Communication and gRPC to connect the Clients. Done.

As long as your Proxmox Cluster is backed by shared storage (ceph, gluster etc.) and HA is configured for your opnSense VM you can just shutdown the Node. Works flawlessly with pfSense (PVE backed by ceph).

Even SIP calls don't get disconnected

Nothing is true if it's not on a piece of paper in Germanys Healthcare System ;) We sadly print through multiple sliced trees in a year. Can't wait for the whole system to be digitalized. There's so much work that could be automated if nobody needs to carry paper around.

Seems like a Solution in search for a Problem. Instead of hardcoding the URL to the Request it can be set in the config like it was done with jsonplaceholder.api.token.

And creating a Request for every API-Endpoint instead of a single API-Client Class seems overkill.

I don't get the point. If your are on to replace your CSV im-/exporter you can switch to a non-ridiculous format anyway.
