The Zombie X1 lives

Some sweet cloud nix'ing with the power of @Rackspace @OpenStack ;)

This was a simple change but it moves the build to the latest stable release and creates an automated workflow to publish and build images whenever updates are made to the Flake, which should make it even easier to run cloud-init enabled NixOS, anywhere you need it 😉

The Zombie X1 is one again in need of surgery. The CPU cooler has died of old age.

Open source isn’t just about code; it’s a bold act of reimagining the boundaries of what’s possible. In 2023, I rejoined Rackspace, joining our private cloud team with a mission to validate this notion, one cloud at a time. In 2024, we achieved our goal by building our platform for innovation and executing our mission. Here’s the real story of 2024: We didn’t merely maintain; we reinvented ourselves once again, this time in the open. Key Moments That Redefined Our Cloud Strategy: • Rackspace OpenStack Enterprise Launch: We made a grand entrance into the enterprise cloud market, demonstrating that open infrastructure isn’t just surviving; it’s thriving. “Guess who’s back? Back again. Rackspace’s back, tell a friend.” • We came, we saw, we conquered Dell Tech World, with the power of open infrastructure. There were folks that questioned our commitment, rightfully, but with the strength of our new ecosystem, and the proof was in the cloud. • OpenInfra Days Keynote: We shared our insights on how OpenStack has maintained its position as the leading private cloud innovation platform for more than a decade. • Spot Platform Growth: Our market-driven compute solution for Kubernetes demonstrated that infrastructure can be both powerful and accessible. I couldn’t have predicted the incredible platform growth, and I was thrilled to see if our hypothesis would hold true. • Reemerging as a large scale operator, talking shop with the community, and forging a new path with the Rackspace Cloud. Looking ahead to 2025, open infrastructure isn’t just a technology strategy; it’s a philosophy. We’re not building clouds; we’re constructing ecosystems where #innovation can flourish, adapt, and transform. To the @OpenStack community, the @Rackspace Technology team, and every technologist who believes in the power of open source beyond code: Thank you for making this year extraordinary. I’m looking forward to partnering with everyone to make a massive difference, push boundaries, and create a positive impact in 2025; all in the open, all as valued members of a winning team on an inspiring mission. #OpenStack #Rackspace #CloudComputing #OpenSource #2024 #2024wrapped

@MiguelAlexCantu 💯 . It’d be cheaper to buy a new washer than to have someone fix it. So I’m fixing my it myself.

I left this video lingering in digital purgatory for a solid year, call it sheer stubbornness or forgetfulness. Today, I’m finally letting it see the light as a suitable nod to what our teams have accomplished these past 365 days. We’ve waded through the murk of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, only to emerge sharper, more relentless, and thoroughly unamused by the status quo. Clawing our way out of the shadows, we’ve secured our place at the forefront of innovation. Consider this long-overdue unveiling a subtle reminder that thriving in adversity isn’t just possible, it’s our specialty.

So we can make the jump, without a jump drive #StarCitizen

@CTOAdvisor I’d likely get an 14” M-series MacBook Pro, and some form of a 1L PC that can run some dev-container workloads or VMs, something like the MS01.
