Ran into a weird issue with macOS and iTerm 2 while experimenting with #talos over the weekend.
Short version: I had to quit iTerm, reset the local network security permission for it and restart it before I could run talosctl from my a session in iTerm. Maddeningly it was working from a session […]

Fiona is enjoying this evening’s offering to Bast, a beef feast. She insists that the cow is the natural prey of the domestic #cat and that who should I believe, biologists or an actual cat.

Fiona is enjoying this evening’s offering to Bast, a beef feast. She insists that the cow is the natural prey of the domestic #cat and that who should I believe, biologists or an actual cat.
Fiona had a very busy caturday and then today we had mandatory overtime for her - it’s the family holiday cookie baking day so she has to supervise 10 people baking in her kitchen.
Here she is squeezing in a break while a batch is in the oven.
