Today in #fedora infra land:
* Sorted out koji-sync-listener that was broken by network outage yesterday.
* Put in a freeze break to update compose-branched01with new pungi so we can get all the f41 images sorted out before Beta RC's start.
* Restarted all our rabbitmq servers to hopefully fix weird messaging issues.
* managed to actually sort and organize my (long) todo list finally.

Oh look, I have 4,973 entries to be read in my RSS feed reader.
I sense some 'mark read' in my future.

Friday (today!)
* After a bunch of pain, got vmhost-x86-cc02 reinstalled.
It was: rhel7, bios boot. It's now: rhel9, uefi, etc
* Tried to get 7x to boot some more
* Retired PDC from ansible. we can still bring things back if we have to, but there's only one thing left: the thing that syncs to bugzilla new packages, owner changes, etc. It's all re-written, just need to finish testing it and deploy
* Some more work on my flock talk. Can hopefully finish it over the weekend or monday when traveling

Today in fedora infra land:
* More debugging on new sigul processing freezes. Still no solution, but I think I see where the problem is. Might be a fix we put in place to make ostree composes more reliable. :)
* Cleaned up old badges vm's now that it's moved into openshift.
* FESCo meeting. Lots of 2fa discussion.
* Generated some new IMA certs for testing with.
* Processed a bunch of tickets.
* Caught up on video meetings I missed.
* usual piles of emails and pr's and discussion.

Off today and out and about... And I suppose its lucky, as my ISP had a fiber cut and the internet connection at my house is down. 😄

I got some waterproof "deck boots" (I guess intended for people on ships in rough weather). They came with a tag that says: "100% waterproof, anti-slip, breathable. keep dry" One of these things seems... off.

Oh, last week:
* Fixed our sync script replacing epel7 latest release link every minute and causing havok. ( https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/11564 ). Somehow python directory sorting changed...
* Got past a few more minor issues on sigul in staging. Getting close to testable now.
* koji had a db meltdown. Finally noticed that in 2015, I pushed a commit to block crawlers, but it wasn't adjusted for later changes. ;( Blocked some crawlers and things are MUCH happier.
* Bunch of small tickets/issues

The default android alarm really doesn't allow you to set the day you want the alarm on anymore? Oh well, simple clock installed.

rant: Why do smoke detectors behave the way they do?
I get that you want the battery to be good and tell everyone when it needs to be replaced, but... a beep every 15-20seconds forever is not a good way to do this. It's long enough so you can't figure out where it's coming from. It _always_ starts in the middle of the night. How about a bright light? Or even a constant beep so you can easily track it down? Or even a light and beeps if it's longer than a day or two? Anything.

@npub1uje…yxv9 It used to be you could just click no thanks, but sometime in the last few years it changed to require it. :(

Dear small businesses: Please don't use facebook as your primary web page. It now requires you to login and some of us have no interest in doing so.
