I've started naming my servers digiocean1.example.com, digiocean2.example.com and so on. I wish I'd done this much earlier. I already have domain names for the actual deployed services, but it quickly gets confusing when you start moving things around.

Cleaned up an old git repo of Ansible playbooks and it's amazing how much is just Docker now. Docker handles process supervision, centralises logging, and containers coexist without issues. It's nice when things get simpler.

Text to speech systems seem to have largely avoided the uncanny valley effect. I've encountered robotic sounding voices but it's way less unsettling than bad CGI. I'm not sure why this is. Maybe looking at faces is just way higher bandwidth so more things can go wrong?
