Ethan Nwaneri walks into this team ahead of Rashford with ease! #ENGLVA

Rashfords final ball is awful we should be 1 or 2 up if he could fizz a ball into the box! 🤦‍♂️ #ENGLVA

Great free kick from Bruno but don’t gas him up. The guy did nothing the whole half along with the whole team. The way we press is just embarrassing! #MUNARS

With Erikson, Casemiro, Dalot and Lindelof playing we are going to get cooked this afternoon! #MUNARS

Anyone tried Coffee Shop 4850 in Amsterdam? How does it compare to other specialty coffee spots? Also hunting for top lunch/dinner spots near Javakade! 🇳🇱☕️ #Amsterdam #FoodScene

🚀 Tired of setting up the same Flux repository structure over and over?

I've open-sourced my opinionated Flux Kustomize template with built-in linting, commit standards, and CI checks.

👥 Looking for contributors! Open issues/PRs to help improve it: github.com/swade1987/fl...

Spent the day in WiFi purgatory setting up a new router.

Nothing says “fun Saturday” like playing IP address roulette with my Sky box.

The real extreme sport? Getting all your devices to play nice with the new network.

Finally all set up 😅

✋ Is anyone using Ghostty and knows how to enable unlimited scrolling? I am using tmux, for what it's worth.

Today, I remember my granddad on what would have been his 98th birthday. Though I didn’t get to know him—he passed away when I was just 3—I still feel the legacy he left behind. Happy birthday up there in heaven, Granddad. 💙

I’ll be in Amsterdam from Feb 10–13, 2025

I’d love to connect! 🇳🇱

Let’s meet up for dinner and/or drinks.

It would be cool to explore the city from a local’s perspective.

It would be great to plan something together!

I’m excited to make the most of my time in Amsterdam! 🚀

Thrilled to share that my session with Mateo, Cloud Native Wheel of Fortune: 5 Spins for 5 Topics!, has been accepted for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025! 🙌

Any CircleCI config experts follow me? I could really do with some help.

This Christmas, as we gather around tables filled with food & love, remember two precious gifts:

1️⃣ The joy of breaking bread with family/friends
2️⃣ The empty chairs that remind us of those no longer here.

If you know someone spending today alone reach out.

That's the true spirit of Christmas. 🕊️

I have a question for you to ponder today!

A time traveller comes to your home.

They are from 20 years in the future.

They say, “You can ask me one question!”

What do you ask them?

Unfortunately, I’ve had to postpone today’s #MyJourney episode as I feel unwell. We’re aiming to reschedule for January. Wishing all our amazing guests and listeners a happy holiday season this year, and I hope to see you in 2025! 🎄✨

Your Kubernetes setup isn't what makes you unique.
Your pipelines aren't what set you apart.

What truly stands out? When devs can
↳ Find logs without waiting on Slack
↳ Fix issues without needing a meeting
↳ Deploy without platform engineering help

Empowered teams build the future.

🔄 Due to severe weather impacts, we regrettably need to reschedule tonight's #MyJourneyMonday episode with Matt Klein. Our ISP cannot currently provide an estimate for restoring our service, and minimal 4G coverage prevents us from delivering a quality show. A new date will be announced soon.
