Was setting up my home lab today and was forced to connect it to a monitor with VGA. Immediately broke a nail on those horrible VGA screws. Now I remember why we used to hate those damn things!

Banning TikTok seems to be sparking quite a bit of class consciousness. Who knew a dance app could unite people like this? So much for stopping dangerous propaganda

Apparently whether you say billion or milliard for 1000 millions depends on where you live.And we can thank the US for popularising the short scale, which was never widespread before its adoption in USA. Thanks America.

Whatever you want to define what something is (HELM TEMPLATE, kcl run, timoni build -> "yaml") push the desire state in Git,

Let me Repeat, whichever format you are using. for "resource definition" but store desired state in git in "yaml"

If you are using Gateway API, have you tried out gwctl yet? It's a new CLI to help you use GW API 💁‍♀️

It can even generate charts of how your HTTPRoutes relate to your Gateways and GatewayClasses!

Have you heard about the NodeRestriction Admission Controller? It's an interesting security feature that disallows a kubelet (node) from modifying resources associated with another node 👀

It's not enabled by default, but can be useful for reducing the consequence of a node compromise 🥷 #KubeCon

"If you start out with a complex architecture it's going to lead to complex solutions" 💡

We technologists like to "solve" complexity with more complexity, but sometimes it's important to take a step back and think if it's worth it. Do you really need that microservice architecture? #KubeCon

This is one #KubeCon talk to watch if you want to know where Argo CD is going 🦑

It showcases the upcoming Hydrator and Promotion features of Argo CD, which will might solve a lot of confusing challenges around promoting between environments using auto-generated PRs.

Great job!

I wrote a little bit about how to do deployment updates without serving errors in #Kubernetes.

Since I don't have a blog, I'll just skeet (Note: was posted elsewhere Aug'22)

You have some pods, and maybe an load-balancer, too. You want to update the deployment. How to do this "best" in K8s today?

For no particular reason or in relation to any ongoing events, did you know that the US has never been closer to implementing national popular vote?

If just a few more states join they will all decide to give their EC votes to whoever wins the popular vote, effectively ending electoral college ✨
