Man no wonder #protobuf is not more popular. This is a pain in the butt. I thought the developer experience might've improved in the five years since I had to use them. Nope, you're still downloading zip files from github repos and extracting them into your path, then installing separate language-specic tools into different directories. You'd think using protobuf in #golang would be more straightforward.

I just relocated my home server to the undercroft with all my networking gear. Shortly afterwards I get several healthchecks.io warnings. All my watchdogs failed to fire. After some investigation I found my IPv6 outbound had stopped working. Huh? I didn't touch any networking gear? Maybe I had unsaved settings in my router and I bumped the power without realising? It recovered without me changing anything. Aussie Broadband blip?
