[17:17] <rick_h_> if anyone knows any python experts looking and wouldn't mind working for me please do share https://canonical.com/careers/2075752
[17:19] <jrwren> rick_h_: you are on ubuntu server team now?
[17:21] <rick_h_> jrwren:  at end of cycle
[17:22] <rick_h_> jrwren:  moving from Juju to Ubuntu Server team manager
[17:22] <cmaloney> just posted to the Discuss list.
[17:22] <rick_h_> <3 ty
[17:23] <cmaloney> yw
[17:23] <jrwren> rick_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 more
[17:23] <cmaloney> Seems like more of a core technology move. :)
[17:24] <rick_h_> yea, and back into python running cloud-init, curtain, and the ua client python projects
[17:24] <rick_h_> less golang :)
[17:24] <cmaloney> jrwren should apply. ;)
[17:24] <rick_h_> but a lot more launchpad and packaging
[17:24] <_stink_> haha, was just about to mention jrwren :D
[17:25] <rick_h_> can't have it all
[17:25] <rick_h_> hah, jrwren can suggest rewriting it all in rust :P
[17:25] <cmaloney> I'm surprised Launchpad hasn't had at least a minor facelift
[17:25] <jrwren> if I were looking, I'd consider it. I still love ubuntu server.
[17:25] <cmaloney> Nah, that's my suggestion
[17:25] <jrwren> we are moving to it at work. YAY!
[17:25] <rick_h_> awesome!
[17:25] <cmaloney> from CentOS?
[17:25] <jrwren> from arch.
[17:26] <cmaloney> JFC
[17:26] <rick_h_> heh, there are folks working on launchpad again (small team)
[17:26] <jrwren> can you imagine...
[17:26] <jrwren> right?
[17:26] <cmaloney> no
[17:26] <jrwren> trying 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/cloud
[17:26] <rick_h_> how bout them snaps :P
[17:26] <jrwren> they removed all their python2... we still have a ton on python2. LOL
[17:26] <cmaloney> arch: All the stability of a loaded gun on a wobbly table.
[17:26] <jrwren> rick_h_: LOL.
[17:26] <cmaloney> God, snaps
[17:26] <rick_h_> snaps on top of arch ftw! :P
[17:26]  * cmaloney deletes application
[17:27] <cmaloney> I forgot about snaps
[17:27] <rick_h_> I love snaps for client apps
[17:27] <cmaloney> ^ proprietary client apps
[17:27] <cmaloney> I'll give you that
[17:27] <rick_h_> but find it funny that I might get behind them for "stable-ish" server apps on something like arch ll
[17:28] <rick_h_> meh, even for open source ones. I'd rather snaps that can be confined than debs from random ppa
[17:28] <cmaloney> I don't see the arch crew really adopting snaps
[17:28] <cmaloney> true
[17:28] <cmaloney> random ppa with pre-packaged python really makes me nervous sometimes
[17:28] <cmaloney> (blender)
[17:29] <cmaloney> I got an electric mower today. :)
[17:29] <cmaloney> Roybi 20" 3rd generation 6ah behemoth
[17:29] <cmaloney> now I might actually look forward to mowing for a sell
[17:29] <cmaloney> spell
[17:29] <rick_h_> hah, nice
[17:30] <cmaloney> One less gas appliance in the house
[17:30]  * cmaloney hates gas
[17:31] <jrwren> flatpacks give more control to teh end user.
[17:31] <jrwren> i'm rooting for flatpacks over snaps.
[17:32] <cmaloney> appimage. ;)
[17:32] <jrwren> what's that?
[17:32] <jrwren> battery mower or corded?
[17:32] <cmaloney> https://appimage.org/
[17:32] <cmaloney> Battery mower
[17:32] <jrwren> I like my battery mower.
[17:32] <cmaloney> I have a corded snowblower, which is awesome
[17:33] <cmaloney> <3
[17:33] <cmaloney> Makes perfect sense for our lot
[17:33] <rick_h_> ugh, I really want a dual stage but can't justify the space they take up
[17:33] <jrwren> what's that?
[17:33] <rick_h_> I tried electric for a power washer and hated it. I'm burning gas
[17:33] <rick_h_> 2-stage snow thrower?
[17:33] <jrwren> oh.
[17:33] <jrwren> i dont' know anything about snow throwers or powerwashers :)
[17:34] <rick_h_> sorry, should have said 2-stage vs dual stage
[17:34] <cmaloney> Only downside is it's a little small if we really get whalloped
[17:34] <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 shoveled
[17:34] <cmaloney> but that just means more trips outside
[17:34] <cmaloney> Yeah, I try to do more shoveling if I can
[17:35] <rick_h_> I got a new plastic snow pusher that was awesome this winter
[17:36] <rick_h_> https://amzn.to/2WIaFnY
[17:36] <rick_h_> really light weight and worked great in the mild winter we had
[17:36] <cmaloney> rick_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/1000373259
[17:37] <cmaloney> Heh, I think those are what the landscrapers use on the house across the street
[17:38] <rick_h_> hah ouchy that's a brute there
[17:40] <cmaloney> sweepy sweepy
[17:41] <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 chunk
[17:42] <jrwren> i shovel my driveway in less than 10 minutes most of hte time.
[17:42] <cmaloney> Yeah, that was my main issue this winter
[17:42] <jrwren> although once this year it was HEAVY snow and it took a lot longer.
[17:43] <jrwren> wow, 36" wide... that is great for the light snows.
[17:44] <rick_h_> yea, just push it and it's run by each way
[17:44] <rick_h_> much faster
[17:52] <cmaloney> BTW: CHC is online tomorrow
[17:53] <cmaloney> If y'all want to come. https://gettogether.community/events/4809/coffee-house-coders-regular-meeting/
[17:54] <rick_h_> yea, I'll try to make it. I put it on the calendar
[17:55] <cmaloney> Sweet!
[18:11] <mrgoodcat> i can't come this week unfortunately
[18:11] <mrgoodcat> have a remote workshop with people in all sorts of timezones
[18:11] <cmaloney> No worries. If it lets out early feel free to just pop in
[18:12] <cmaloney> Trying to just keep some consistency in the week and be there for folks who need it
[18:16] <mrgoodcat> technically i should be done in time, but then I have dinner and whatnot
[18:28] <cmaloney> dinner. Feh
[18:35] <rick_h_> over rated!
