🏀 It's a shame Kansas had an off year because the Big 12 has run over every team they have faced over the last three days. I think they are 9-1 with another day of games tomorrow.

🏀 KU's Hunter Dickinson era of basketball is over. We won one tournament game with him on the team, but I will spend as much effort looking that up as he did playing defense.

I watched the game in my favorite downtown watering hole, and I have never heard fans universally say, "Finally, it's over," but that's where we were. I hit the acceptance point with this team back in late January.

📣 I am very excited to announce Abstractions, my new podcast with co-host Dan Jacobson:

Until it appears in podcast directories, you can add it to your preferred podcast player directly via the feed URL:

I hope you enjoy the first episode. Reposts would be much appreciated!

AbstractionsAbstractions (@abstractions) • ActivityAbstractions is a podcast about technology, software, hardware, and the Internet, and the way their ever-increasing layers of these technologies permeate every aspect of our everyday lives.

The Python version diagram has been updated to show the bugfix/security split for each release. (Before, the bars were either completely green or yellow.)

devguide.python.org/versions/

It's also zoomed in and shows fewer releases than before. There's another chart further down the page showing all of 2.6 to 3.14. And the wording in the status key has been refreshed to make it clearer.

Thanks to @nedbat and @encukou for updating it!

I had to create a snapshot of my database's volume and add it to a new database. Everything worked, and I'm seeing several other people struggling with the same issue.

This feels very fast and breaks things, and I'm highly disappointed in Fly's "managed" database service.

Yes, I will be moving this, but it's a busy week.

Yes, I plan to land on CrunchyData after seeing several happy clients switch to them.

See community.fly.io/t/suspended-d for details.

Fly.io · Suspended databaseI finally fixed it, but forking the volume and creating a new database. fly postgres create --fork-from lfk-db:vol_<volumn_hash_here> After this completed, I had to update my app so that it could see my new database: fly secrets set DATABASE_URL postgres://postgres:.../DATABASE_NAME Fly will create the database but, you’ll have to add your DATABASE_NAME to the DATABASE_URL value. Thank you for the help. For anyone else reading this, I highly recommend trying out the backup and snapshot sub...

Cool. Fly suspended my managed database in a zone that won't let me unsuspend it to pull a backup after paying someone to help me update it last week. Timing couldn't be **better**. It's also St. Patrick's Day, which is also one of the busiest, if not the busiest, day of the year for it.

They appear to have run out of capacity, but suspending my **paid** instance is a shitty look.

We have been in this space for over eleven years, and how much has changed is incredible.

It's a good time to reflect on that once everything is boxed, moved, and unpacked. 🤣

🚚 Our Office move is starting a little early for me. I picked up some tacos from my favorite next-door joint, worked on some client work, and began boxing/throwing some stuff away.

It will be weird to change spaces even though we are technically moving two blocks over on the same two streets.

The movers are coming on Wednesday, but I'm meeting electricians early Monday, which means I'm working out of the new place from then on.
