    Trying to really spec up front a personal project like write out a project overview etc. Not really what I want to be doing with my free time but I think the outcome so far is already looking more solid than if I just winged it as per usual. Certainly helped to pick better dependencies already - the one I really liked would have been a giant pain to build with now that I see the scope of the idea. Ugh.

    Amazon Prime “Spider-Noir” was really good. Fun to see Nicholas Cage here.

    Been experimenting with turning App Builder CLI tools into Agentic Agents with the App Builder definition turning into LLM tools called using the standard tool calling methods. Pretty neat if you&amp;#39;re into AI and thinking about CLIs, Ops tools etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6QbXp5HdcA

    Writing a CM system is all fun and games until you realise you&amp;#39;re using Unix and its a shitshow. &amp;gt; The bug is most likely this: Store() uses fchown on the open temp file descriptor (tf.Chown(uid, gid)), while the chown CLI uses path-based chown. On certain bind-mount setups (Docker Desktop for Mac/Windows with gRPC FUSE or VirtioFS, NFS, FUSE-backed mounts), fchown can silently no-op or fail to persist while path-based chown works fine.

    Another really cool feature I designed for NATS - a distributed CRDT based counter. Distributed meaning infrastructure at a factory floor can have local counts that flows up to regional and global levels via stream replication and eventually end up at a global count. Seperate clusters all contributing to the total with regional/location views. You can choose to have auditable counts etc https://youtu.be/1Vx8CbrO89Y?is=a2pAe7s7_7SnCEuX Scales like crazy solves very hard problems. Spec: ht...

    Had a fun time talking about my tiny CM system at @cfgmgmtcamp. Lots of good questions and discussion. It’s pretty well baked now, as ever more to do but keen to find more users for feedback and discussion. Check out its revamped website: https://choria-cm.dev I also recently launched a web editor for manifests, check out the Studio links bottom bottom left.
