Me every day for the last 2 years: "When I have time I'm going to write an elasticsearch replacement in Rust so I can stop dealing with this" Today I find: github.com/quickwit-oss/q… 🥰. Compute and storage separated out and everything!

If you all could stop tweeting about KubeCon EU coming up next week that'd help a lot. I'm really close to making a last minute purchase 😅

Nothing like starting your first day at the new job and then finding out they are even more awesome than you thought when you accepted the offer! Super excited about whats to come with what we are building at ditto.live

Living off-grid is amazing until its not 😅. I spent Saturday repairing broken cisterns and pipes. Today my power inverter blew a capacitor so I'm now on generator. Normally I'm well prepared but haven't ran a proper DR test in awhile. I need to write some better runbooks

Interesting... GitHub is advertising directly on opensource project pages now. I'm a paying Pro subscriber and seeing the advertisement so its not for free users only.

I've got a few bsky invites if anyone wants to chat about Kubernetes or other neckbeard style things over there

Turns out MacOS uses `.local` to define bonjour hosts. So if you're developing a local experience and use that as your domain you'll end up with a 5 second DNS resolution time 😅 Took me awhile to figure out that my kind cluster, contour, metallb, etc. were all working fine.

Imagine if the narrative around artists was they shouldn’t practice their craft outside of paid gigs. Or if someone went up and told Carmack he should spend less time in front of a computer. 🙄 Please let the anti-tech tech narrative die. Some of us like building things.

CentOS 7 is the real security hero this week! 💪 ✅ cURL too old for CVE-2023-38545 ✅ glibc too old for CVE-2023-4911 / Looney Tunables ✅ httpd too old for CVE-2023-44487 or any HTTP/2 support

Looking at the subfreezing temperatures in Illinois have me wondering if I really want to leave Puerto Rico to go to KubeCon next week 🥶. My love for kubernetes only goes so far!

I wrote up my steps for completing the EKS Cluster Games CTF in case anyone wants to see: sontek.net/blog/2023/eks_… Lots of spoilers so don't check it out if you're still working through the problems.

I understand kubernetes is complex but as an SRE from the 1900s, I don’t have it in me to go through another wave of innovation. Let’s stop here!

Heading to check-in for first day of #kubecon! Excited to talk to everyone about running stateful services on kubernetes and running your own control plane as god intended!

It is weird that everyone at #KubeCon is pronouncing kubectl wrong. I've heard "kube C T L", "kube cuddle", etc. The correct pronunciation is "Kub Ecktul". Hopefully that helps!

This is your annual reminder that you can bring holiday cheer to your terminal with github.com/sontek/snowmac…!

Unless there is legislative change, it no longer makes sense to start a bootstrapped software startup in America anymore It’s hard to overstate how catastrophically bad Section 174 is for software companies Here’s an overview for anyone hearing about this only recently:

Here is your annual reminder to get in the holiday spirit with github.com/sontek/snowmac…

a lot of you didn’t brick the family computer trying to install linux in 2004 and it shows

Most problems can be solved with Postgres and Redis.
