helm uses nsone but get.helm.sh points at azure front door which is having problems right now. DNS responses seem to be very intermittent azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

Over the last couple nights I decided to scratch a personal programming itch. A little XDP program that logs the SNI from any TLS client hello it sees. No TLS needed.

"never seen anything like this with modern accounting rules"

"Oracle didn’t disclose that “the vast majority of its $318bn RPO growth in the quarter came from a $300bn contract with OpenAI.”"

That's a lot of future revenue from a single, privately owned customer.

Finally data to back up what I've been saying about operating Kube clusters and running services on top of Kube for nearly ten years.

I bought an Nvidia BlueField2 off ebay. If I console into it over rshim (github.com/Mellanox/rsh...) it's got the hostname "nic-ec2-node11-lax02 " without default username and password. What are the odds this is from an AWS EC2 machine?

Sheesh, as someone who worked on the previous github platform migrations i wish everyone peace and good luck. (Also, that's me in the github cage in SE3 a long time ago)

Weird things that bug me in iOS26, both in the messages app this time.

Why is this modal so big, how much padding is needed?

Why do these two things overlap?
