I learned that one of the advantages of cloudcomputing is the more efficient use of resources. On a shared infrastructure you don't need the maximum amount of compute and memory all the time so you can share. In this blog they looked at how efficient kubernetes clusters worked. The outcomes are terrible. Massive overprovisioning of compute and memory.

Damn. My OnePlus 6T (runningLineageOS 20) has started occasionally spontaneously rebooting and then taking *ages* to finish the boot process. I daren't wonder too hard about what it's actually doing... but this isn't ideal as I prep for some international travel. Sigh. Might have to prioritise my repair (cracked screen and bung battery) of my son's now superseded OP 3T for which I have already procured replacement parts (aliexpress, of course)...

These votes both going down is a real pity. The family one was dragged asunder by the Care one.
But, really, the whole show was appallingly mismanaged. Even the practicallity of voting was awry. I was looking at two ballot papers without the question I was being asked to vote on in front of me.
Presumptious failures all over the place.
