I've deployed ceph on openstack, vanilla kubernetes, and openshift before but I've never actually deployed it from scratch with the dashboard or any rados gateway features enabled.

I'm literally giddy right now.

if you like cable porn, the network cabling in the Azure Fairwater data centres is *chef's kiss*

the things that look like hoses at a gas station bring the closed loop direct water cooling to the GPUs. some of the chips have these *etched channels* for cooling hotspots with microfluidics

AI is forcing datacenter design evolution.

Including grid scale GPU throttling, vertical DC scaling, closed loop liquid cooling, overcoming evaporative and air cooling density limits.

100x compute demand does magical things to efficiency innovation.

Here be dragons, and positive change too.

Okay, back to Kalilix but I've moved her from the laptop to the local cloud. Back to porting Kali linux to a Nix ecosystem flake approach.

I've never watched someone build an Arduino SDK from scratch before but this is so cool.

@radicalkjax.com can literally do anything.
Spent the day building out the Ossidata project.
Want an SDK to work with Arduino using Rust?
Here ya go 💁🏼‍♀️

All tests are passing as a service I guess?

If at first you don't succeed, the tests were probably wrong?

Forget TDD, it's passing driven test development.

It works! `kubectl apply -f kali-kubevirt-vm.yaml` works!

I took the upstream official kali linux qcow2 image, updated & added cloud-init packages to image and redistribute via dockerhub, then the kubevirt yaml automates the rest!

I estimated 2 hours originally but this journey was so much more.

The first boot of the kali vm in kubevirt did not work and i had limited troubleshooting options available without working cloud-init or ssh-server being enabled.

So i deployed a kubevirt fedora 42 vm with rdp and virt-manager to test the qcow2 disk in docker.io/containercraft/kali:latest-dev
