rick_h_jrwren:  at end of cycle17:21
rick_h_jrwren:  moving from Juju to Ubuntu Server team manager17:22
cmaloneyjust posted to the Discuss list.17:22
rick_h_<3 ty17:22
cmaloneyyw17:23
jrwrenrick_h_: congrats! Sounds like a fun move.17:23
rick_h_jrwren:  yea, eager to get to a bit more uncomfy spot and learn/play with server stuff again more17:23
cmaloneySeems like more of a core technology move. :)17:23
rick_h_yea, and back into python running cloud-init, curtain, and the ua client python projects17:24
rick_h_less golang :)17:24
cmaloneyjrwren should apply. ;)17:24
rick_h_but a lot more launchpad and packaging17:24
_stink_haha, was just about to mention jrwren :D17:24
rick_h_can't have it all17:25
rick_h_hah, jrwren can suggest rewriting it all in rust :P17:25
cmaloneyI'm surprised Launchpad hasn't had at least a minor facelift17:25
jrwrenif I were looking, I'd consider it. I still love ubuntu server.17:25
cmaloneyNah, that's my suggestion17:25
jrwrenwe are moving to it at work. YAY!17:25
rick_h_awesome!17:25
cmaloneyfrom CentOS?17:25
jrwrenfrom arch.17:25
cmaloneyJFC17:26
rick_h_heh, there are folks working on launchpad again (small team)17:26
jrwrencan you imagine...17:26
jrwrenright?17:26
cmaloneyno17:26
jrwrentrying to run and operate a stable system on top of a rolling release distro?17:26
rick_h_wow, I miss arch on my laptop days but not sure about for real servers/cloud17:26
rick_h_how bout them snaps :P17:26
jrwrenthey removed all their python2... we still have a ton on python2. LOL17:26
cmaloneyarch: All the stability of a loaded gun on a wobbly table.17:26
jrwrenrick_h_: LOL.17:26
cmaloneyGod, snaps17:26
rick_h_snaps on top of arch ftw! :P17:26
* cmaloney deletes application17:26
cmaloneyI forgot about snaps17:27
rick_h_I love snaps for client apps17:27
cmaloney^ proprietary client apps17:27
cmaloneyI'll give you that17:27
rick_h_but find it funny that I might get behind them for "stable-ish" server apps on something like arch ll17:27
rick_h_meh, even for open source ones. I'd rather snaps that can be confined than debs from random ppa17:28
cmaloneyI don't see the arch crew really adopting snaps17:28
cmaloneytrue17:28
cmaloneyrandom ppa with pre-packaged python really makes me nervous sometimes17:28
cmaloney(blender)17:28
cmaloneyI got an electric mower today. :)17:29
cmaloneyRoybi 20" 3rd generation 6ah behemoth17:29
cmaloneynow I might actually look forward to mowing for a sell17:29
cmaloneyspell17:29
rick_h_hah, nice17:29
cmaloneyOne less gas appliance in the house17:30
* cmaloney hates gas17:30
jrwrenflatpacks give more control to teh end user.17:31
jrwreni'm rooting for flatpacks over snaps.17:31
cmaloneyappimage. ;)17:32
jrwrenwhat's that?17:32
jrwrenbattery mower or corded?17:32
cmaloneyhttps://appimage.org/17:32
cmaloneyBattery mower17:32
jrwrenI like my battery mower.17:32
cmaloneyI have a corded snowblower, which is awesome17:32
cmaloney<317:33
cmaloneyMakes perfect sense for our lot17:33
rick_h_ugh, I really want a dual stage but can't justify the space they take up17:33
jrwrenwhat's that?17:33
rick_h_I tried electric for a power washer and hated it. I'm burning gas17:33
rick_h_2-stage snow thrower?17:33
jrwrenoh.17:33
jrwreni dont' know anything about snow throwers or powerwashers :)17:33
rick_h_sorry, should have said 2-stage vs dual stage17:34
cmaloneyOnly downside is it's a little small if we really get whalloped17:34
rick_h_heh, well I grew my driveway a couple of years ago now so have no shame, though I never used it this winter it was so mild and only shoveled17:34
cmaloneybut that just means more trips outside17:34
cmaloneyYeah, I try to do more shoveling if I can17:34
rick_h_I got a new plastic snow pusher that was awesome this winter17:35
rick_h_https://amzn.to/2WIaFnY17:36
rick_h_really light weight and worked great in the mild winter we had17:36
cmaloneyrick_h_: here you go: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Ariens-Power-Brush-28-28-in-177-cc-Two-Stage-Self-Propelled-Gas-Snow-Blower-with-Push-Button-Electric-Start/100037325917:36
cmaloneyHeh, I think those are what the landscrapers use on the house across the street17:37
rick_h_hah ouchy that's a brute there17:38
cmaloneysweepy sweepy17:40
rick_h_yea, probably nicer/cleaner than my snow blower but the shoveling does pretty good as long as you keep up on it and don't leave things to melt/ice chunk17:41
jrwreni shovel my driveway in less than 10 minutes most of hte time.17:42
cmaloneyYeah, that was my main issue this winter17:42
jrwrenalthough once this year it was HEAVY snow and it took a lot longer.17:42
jrwrenwow, 36" wide... that is great for the light snows.17:43
rick_h_yea, just push it and it's run by each way17:44
rick_h_much faster17:44
cmaloneyBTW: CHC is online tomorrow17:52
cmaloneyIf y'all want to come. https://gettogether.community/events/4809/coffee-house-coders-regular-meeting/17:53
