"jobs that are long-running might get rescued even if the producer is still alive" indicates otherwise. It suggests that jobs that are in progress may be double-scheduled. That's a feature that I think shouldn't be gated behind a monthly pro subscription; my unpaid OSS projects don't justify it.

Ooof. I don't mind the OSS/pro feature gate for the most part, but I really don't love that "Pro version uses smarter heartbeats to track producer liveness."

There's a difference between QoL features and reliability functions; to me, at least, that means that I can't justify trying to adopt it in my OSS projects. It's too bad, too, because this looks otherwise fantastic.

If you happen to nominate or vote on the Hugo Awards, you may have seen this turn up.

Self-hosting breezewiki -- even on the same machine that you browse from -- gets neatly around the way fandom wikis block the breezewiki public nodes. I've got it self-hosted and now I never see that damn fandom interface.

I've been doing this on my site for a couple of years: https://github.com/offbyone/ideas/blob/3f50f69494aca01f21aeb...

It's pretty easy to do. I recommend it, if you already use Fedi for anything.

Well, this is delightful; the links that this tool finds now 403, and looking at the network inspector, it seems that the URLs are now signed in some way.

I was your opposite number at AWS for many years. Like you say, it was one of the best jobs I've ever had, but over there it was a career dead end. I wasn't laid off, but I had to leave it to have any hope of growing myself.

I feel for ya, zem; if you ever turn up at a PyCon in person, lemme buy you a drink.

If you want my cynical take, here's the real reason that Amazon and other big companies are all-in on RTO: the commercial real estate collapse that may (will?) happen if downtown office districts don't repopulate: https://wapo.st/3QXHpFT

I think the reason that Amazon leadership isn't bringing data to support RTO is that not only are they aware of the "Urban Doom Loop” that this article is referring to, but I'd bet you a lot of money that the C-suite (S-team) has a significant investment in commercial real estate.
