I made a minimal example of an azure function app with polly retries on outbound http calls

This is harder to get right than you'd think from the Microsoft marketing, even with copilot / gpt to hand.

Are they going on a #hike or #dating? I will stick with #sherpa and #yaks

Good morning

#GoodMorning #yaks

While updating my personal #netbsd server to patch #regresshion, I updated all my installed packages, which broke #php, which broke apache.

So I shaved all those #yaks and discovered that my CMS (#textpattern) was years out of date, and not compatible with modern PHP. And my self-written tagging plugin would require changes, if I upgraded.

So <big sigh of relief> I am finally rid of PHP, Apache, and MySQL on that server! That feels really good. (Even if I'm sad my old content is gone.)

Dutzende #Tiere verendet: #Bauer und #Tierarzt vor Gericht | Wegen unglaublicher #Tierquälerei in Dutzenden Fällen muss sich ein #Landwirt im Tiroler Ötztal vor Gericht verantworten. Der Bauer soll demnach #Schweine, #Schafe, #Ziegen und #Yaks über Monate vernachlässigt und deren #Stallungen weder ausgemistet noch mit Einstreu versorgt haben. Rund 50 Yaks sind verendet oder mussten eingeschläfert werden.

Der #Wildpark #Schwarzach in Baden-Württemberg kämpft mit den Folgen der #Klimakrise, die besonders kälteliebende #Yaks betrifft. Neue Ställe mit kühlem Boden und Schatten sollen helfen. Auch #Schweine und #Nandus benötigen besonderen Schutz vor #Hitze. Zudem werden #Futterknappheit und #Parasiten zunehmend zum Problem.

If you know about "shaving #yaks" you'll want to listen to this song: https://app.suno.ai/song/53ccd7a9-3ace-413c-b39d-9a71e475f13e/

Connects nicely to my accidental use of "discover a yak's nest" today 😂

Yak milk was a popular drink in the Mongol Empire, study finds https://www.medievalists.net/2023/11/yak-milk-mongol-empire/ #Mongols #Yaks

Relative to most people I know, I #procrastinate the least. It wasn’t always that way. I think I’ve come to understand:

1. Time is the only real resource we have, and the rate at which I accomplish things determines how much I can accomplish overall. (And maybe I care more about accomplishing big things, now.)

2. “Later” is when the #yaks come out.

Our yak, Daisy, and her two week old calf.

Close-up of a mama yak touching noses with her calf. She is black with a white blaze down her forehead and nose. The calf is mostly black with a small bit of white on his forehead.

Have you ever shaven a yak? Or given them a perm? Did you start down a rabbit hole, just to find a new yak waiting for you? Have you been picking up the rakes in your office, or just treaded lightly around them? Have you had a chance to contribute diagonally to your organization or company?

If you're not sure of what I'm talking about, read my blog post from last year https://flameeyes.blog/2022/04/26/engineering-jargon-yaks/ and enjoy the funny and illustrative art by Furryviza!

Our first yak calf of the season

#SilentSunday #Sunday #Yaks #Cows #CowsofMastodon #Bovines #SmallFarms #Oregon #Agriculture #Animals

Dark brown yak calf with heart-shaped white blaze on forehead. Pink tongue is sticking out slightly. Calf is standing on mud and hay.

A contribution for the approaching #SilentSunday. Tso Moriri Lake, #Ladakh #India shot back in 2011. As you can see, it wasn’t infested with yellow tourist Sumo SUVs, nor Bullet(ers). Was so calm back then. Yeah, those are #Yaks #Photography #Fotographie #Fujifilm @mastodonindians

Tsomoriri Lake, in Ladakh. Yaks in the foreground of the lake.

Paisley loves mud season.

Yak with white forehead and pink nose covered in mud. Her hump and shoulders and part of back are black. Her rump and legs are white. She's in a field of mud and loose hay. Patchy snow and trees are behind her.

It turns out that home #espresso is full of #yaks. I knew it would be… but it seems like the yaks expand to (over)fill the available tolerance for them…

No #YuleGoats around here, but we do have #YuleYaks who thrive in winter and decorate themselves with hay and icicles. Our Makenzie is particularly ornamental.

Dark brown yak with gray muzzle, upward curving horns, and white bangs covered in snow and ice. Long pieces of hay hang from her chin.
