They brought them home but Israel won’t stop killing and burning civilians.

Because it was never about “hostages”…
In a new breach of the so called ceasefire, the occupation bombed tents in Khan Younis burning families alive. This is a developing stories and the number of fatalities and injuries will be updated soon.

Two years ago, I experienced an incident within the #CNCF ecosystem that exposed serious gaps in how harassment, pile-ons, and reputational attacks were handled. The systems meant to protect contributors simply weren’t there. 🧵

Kubernetes scheduling rarely feels like magic ... because it isn’t.

I just published a deep-dive blog post, “Kubernetes Scheduler & Queue Management,” on how the scheduler’s queueing logic works.

Just published a new post in my #Kubernetes scheduler series, a complete reference to in-tree #scheduler plugins. If you’re building, operating, or debugging k8s scheduler, this is meant to be your map.

Attending #KubeCon NA was a reminder of a truth I haven’t forgotten... The investigation into the harassment I reported took almost a year, and confirmed I was the victim. Yet, I received no acknowledgment from #CNCF leadership.

That silence left a lasting impact. It still does. (1/3)

The hate toward Muslims these past weeks has been overwhelming. I try to keep living and moving, but it does ache. Being dehumanized publicly is not something you just “ignore”.

The real power lies elsewhere.

🧵 Let’s talk about how the kube-scheduler is actually a plugin-first orchestration engine, not a decision-maker.
