  • Yeah, similar sized environments here too, but had good experiences with Ansible. Saw Chef struggle at even smaller scales. And Puppet. And Saltstack. But I’ve also seen all of them succeed too. Like most things it depends on how you run it. Nothing is a perfect solution. But I think Ansible has few game breaking tradeoffs for it’s advantages.


  • Wow, huge disagree on saltstack and chef being ahead of Ansible. I’ve used all 3 in production (and even Puppet) and watched Ansible absolutely surge onto the scene and displace everyone else in the enterprise space in a scant few years.

    Ansible is just so much lower overhead and so much easier to understand and make changes to. It’s dominating the configuration management space for a reason. And nearly all of the self hosted/homelab space is active in Ansible and have tons of well baked playbooks.

    Annoyed or excited. Call it “stimulated”. Also often happens when they see a toy or a pounce target.

    Usually with domestic cats the ears being in a relaxed ‘up’ state show this cat is annoyed but not truly unhappy. Maybe even trying to wriggle away.

    Generally if you see highly dilated eyes and ears back, the cat is about to attack or pounce.

    However I’ll caveat that second part with the fact that it depends on the cat. I’ve seen cats maul from a submissive/passive position with ears up and eyes nearly closed. Like humans, every cat is different and every situation is going to be unique. They’re intelligent animals with unique personalities and nature/nurture, which is why they’re such excellent companions.

    Happily!

    So, first epoch time. It’s a pretty robust standard, covers many use cases, has few edge cases… but it’s specifically for machine usage, since it’s not human readable and it’s not reversible into the past (pre-1970).

    ISO 8601 (depending on the annum), by the text of the documentation, these are all valid dates:

    • 2007-04-05T14:30
    • 2007-04-05T12:30−02:00
    • 2007-04-05T14:30Z
    • 200704051430
    • 07-04-05T14:30
    • 2007-95T14:30

    Etc.

    RFC 3339 (& RFC 9557, it’s newest modification) is actually a subset of ISO 8601 and is far more prescriptive. For example you must have a timezone designator. You must have a separator between the date and time. You must use a dash between date elements and a colon between time elements. You can easily add standardized subseconds.

    • 2007-04-05T12:30−02:00
    • 2007-04-05 14:30Z

    This means that RFC 3339 is much easier to parse and use by both machines and humans.

    This page (reddit, I know…) has a great summary, and so in the interest of knowledge and attribution I’ll link it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ISO8601/comments/p572xy/rfc_3339_versus_iso_8601/

    This website allows you to more directly compare the two interactively. https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/
