New blog post about last month's #Wikimedia Datatcenter switchover: https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2021/07/23/june-2021-data-center-switchover/
"In June 2021, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Site Reliability Engineering team switched most user traffic from our primary datacenter in Virginia (“eqiad”) to our secondary one in Texas (“codfw”). This is an exercise we’ve done multiple times over the past 5 years, and this was the smoothest and fastest one yet."

Got some henna for my cousin's wedding, drawn by my sister. It's tradition to hide the initials of your SO in it, so she added a "W" (you can guess where the puzzle piece comes from) and a Debian swirl. :)

Visited probably the coldest place in the Bay Area today (~60F with a good breeze). The only better part was hanging out with wiki-friends!

Turns out the bus stop in Weehawken we were waiting at was the site of the Hamilton/Burr duel!
