Off the back of setting up a new VM last week (https://hachyderm.io/@forquare/116539562128910028) I know have Headscale [1] running with Headscale-admin [2].
Most of my machines now connected to the new VPN setup, I think I'll wait the weekend out to move do the final move from ZeroTier - I'm camping this weekend and will be less able to fix anything that goes wrong.
I love how easy lots of things are.
#Sanoid installed, configured, and run.
#Syncoid currently sending snapshots to https://zfs.rent/
Not to mention just how simple FreeBSD is to run.[1] https://headscale.net

#BensGreenFieldCamp #ScoutingUK
Tents up, toilets dug, fire got hit enough to make hot chocolate and tea.
Sent the Scouts to bed at 23:00 and they seem to have gone to sleep in record time!

Full of trepidation this morning ahead of my greenfield permit assessment camp.
Had a number of dreams last night of things going a bit wrong.Did food shopping last night, will be sorting kit this morning.
Honestly the main things that can go wrong today:
- forget some bit of kit (can likely work around)
- Scouts drag their heels setting up camp (in which case we prioritise what is needed tonight and finish off in the morning).Just got to keep a clear head when my assessor asks questions and not go all foggy.

This session was not so much in tents, as it was out of them.
You can’t run past tents, you can only ran.
Tonight at Scouts the troop was placed into pairs and we put up our small OEX Jackal III tents.
It took all the troop about 50 minutes to get them up.
With 20 minutes of group critique (both positive and constructive), plus 30 minutes to put the tents down, there wasn’t any time to do the pioneering work I’d planned, nor any time for a game.It’s never a fun session - but it’s a skill we need to exercise as it’s important they be proficient for camps.
I would say the troop is getting better. Two years ago there would have been lots of messing around, there is much less messing now, or it is at least more concentrated and doesn’t take the session over.

Currently our knives are kept in a cardboard box on top of a tall cabinet in the office at our hut.
I have been asked to take them on my permit camp, so needed something a bit more secure.
A couple of old ammo boxes with padlocks should do the trick!
Botched drilling the padlock attachment, but it all worked out in the end - and I still have two hands!

Last night at Scouts we were going to do a DIY session, but the leader who was doing the main bit had to have an emergency dentist appointment, so that’s been postponed.
Instead I asked my “predecessor” (he’s still joint Team Lead, but I’ve taken over regular running) to plan an alternative session.
So, we kicked off with a paper aeroplane competition - who can get the furthest, most consistently, and look the best.
Then we segued into splitting logs with an axe - something we’ve not done since this time last year.
We used some of the larger willow trunks I acquired last week which were fairly easy to split.We finished up with a couple of games - one was basically Simon Says, and the lastly a round of Werewolves.
We also had a full house! 14 Scouts is the largest we’ve been in a while and it felt like a really good number to have.

Not a bad office for the day.
Through some local enquiries I’ve been put in touch with a project that is developing this land into a safe environment for butterflies, and to attain SSSI status.
They are clearing willow from the land which is a very thirsty tree.
I’m here to take what I want for pioneering poles before it gets chipped up. -
Tonight we were due to do the DIY badge.
Three stations:
- Safety and isolating utilities
- Practical skills
- Change a car tyre, check oil levels, etc. (one of our leaders is a mechanic and wanted to run a bit of a session)However, that did not happen.
Two of the leaders pulled out of the season last minute for various reasons.
This left us with rejigging the session to make it possible for two people to run, or changing the programme.After chatting to our resident mechanic and his son, who is also a Scout, we decided to make the most of the good weather.
We created a new session around fire lighting, with a game of capture the flag, and a couple of songs.
Fairly chilled evening, and not only do we have next weeks session planned, but I’ve also realised that I included the Early May Bank Holiday in our programme and was struggling for session ideas towards the end of term, so removing the bank holiday Monday means I have less to plan 😀

Back around 2002 I went on a Scout camp to #southwales, we camped near/within #bannaubrecheiniog / #breconbeacons.
Certainly it was a short drive to a car park/lay-by and we climbed up a scree slope - kinda coming from the back (South) of Corn Du.This is the only picture I have of the site. To the right and back of this building there was a flat area where we pitched tents, and beyond that a stream.
Behind the photographer was a small bank and a road.
If anyone has any ideas where this might be, I’d be grateful to know so I can revisit it.
I’ve searched for bothies in South Wales and come up with nothing…

Happy World Scout Scarf Day!
To celebrate Scouting, many people associated with the movement around the world wear their neckerchief/necker/scarf/... on the 1st August.
There are many names for what I call the neckerchief, Scoutadelic have a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVwiuLDR-w0
I've been wearing my group neckerchief while walking the dog and sitting at work, both of which have gained some attention which has been nice.

At work I have a monorepo with a bunch of helm charts in it.
The LCM for this repo is garbage - I wrote it a few years ago not really knowing what I was doing, but also knowing it was a temporary thing.
Turns out it’s not so temporary.The company is looking to move to trunk-based development and I’m looking to redo the LCM of this repo.
Specifically this TBD: https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/
We want to be able to say “we are doing this” and point at an industry way of doing things, rather than looking at something home grown or modified.TBD makes sense to me, I’m pretty sure I understand it.
But- the charts on the repo are released altogether monthly (looking to change this, but anticipating another year or more before being able to do so), there are two breaking changes a year.
If I need to patch an old (supported) version, I might not be able to commit it to trunk and cherry-pick back to a relevant release branch because feature flags are hard to impossible in Helm (specifically in the way we use a library chart to provide 99% of the templating).
Am I “allowed” to commit/PR directly to the release branch in this case?
I know I technically can, but I can’t find what is idiomatic TBD in this situation.#branchingstrategies #trunkbased #trunkbaseddevelopment #git #lifecyclemanagement

It's that time of the year again when the butter is spreadable straight from the dish.
