Ever open your drawer and see those old phones? In one afternoon I turned my OnePlus 6 into a Kubernetes node running PostmarketOS. Very fun dive into mobile Linux. If you're curious about the full setup, I wrote a detailed guide:

Bought some used hardware on eBay. Factory reset didn't work. Wasn't able to get in with admin/admin.

So, I desoldered the flash chip, replaced it with a ZIF socket, dumped it, and pointed John the Ripper at /etc/shadow.

Password was "admin", but username was "agcfw".

Sometimes obscurity works!

This weekend I locked myself out of my laptop... Luks and hibernate+force shutdown don't go well, at least I learned how to unencrypt my disk and boot it from the grub emergency console. I don't recommend it as an experience to anyone though 😉 (you need to write manually UUIDs a lot of times 🥲)

I object.

Bare metal is easier every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I'd love a hyper scale kubernetes on metal platform engineering automation principal engineer role. I'll make you hate the public cloud.
"The process of deploying Kubernetes clusters on premises is a lot more complex than using a cloud provider. You must first virtualize the entire infrastructure using a Tier 1 hypervisor, such as VMware vSphere or Proxmox."

Umm. I call bullshit.

Any good examples of ratelimiting (rejecting abusers) service accounts with FlowSchema? I can't get it to work, at best slows down some requests but never reject them #kubernetes #kubeapi #cncf

I loved this talk by DHH:

Especially the part where he talks about programmers turning into Pink Elephant.
