Thanks to a swift merge of @ncopa.bsky.social to the Alpine apk packages i'm now running Kubernetes 1.33.1 on Alpine VMs on Proxmox, using YOLO-ops upgrade! (sorry still no IPv6) @alpinelinux.bsky.social @proxmox.bsky.social

Looks like Kubernetes is still running on 3.22.0_rc2, but whare is version K8s 1.33.1?

For me that was Isaac Asimov with his "Three Laws of Robotics" but that not the person you are looking for. Neither Vannevar Bush and Alan Turing who "played" with the idea of computer intelligence, late 40's early 50's. It's John whose last name matches a US Senator who "hunted" communism.

Yes, you're right, still some users have their own Fortran routines attached.

It can prepare your skills for gigatron.io . I still need to start building my Gigatron and indeed lack the soldering skills. So I bought some of those practice kits.

You'll be surprised how many Fortran code is still running daily on Supercomputers. OpenFOAM for example has a lot of Fortran code.

What if you no longer have to install a broad range of scientific software from scratch on every laptop, #HPC cluster, or cloud instance you use or maintain, without compromising on performance? Join the #EESSI webinar series for more info! ➡️ www.multixscale.eu/2025/04/30/e... @eessi.bsky.social

For me it's Neil Stephenson when a read his novel "Snow Crash" (1992) but I don't think that's the one we are looking for here.

Whoepie Whoepie. Now running Version 1.32.1 of K8s on the "Meterkast" Cluster. Updated using YOLO-Ops. K8s From scratch, the hard way.

On 3 Feb I'll be presenting my experiences running a #K8s cluster "in de meterkast" at of the tenth edition of #cfgmgmtcamp. This is not the first time i'm doing this talk, so my feelings about presenting changed from "Can I do this?" to "Can I still do this?". cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2025/

Als je "op techniek" schaatst lijkt het inderdaad niet op stappen, alhoewel je in de bocht natuurlijk wel moet overstappen.

I didn't know I was taking part in a raffle when I did the SimOps certification, imagine my surprise when I found out I was a winner. And if you didn't do the HPC certification yet, I can recommend it as it is a good Introduction to HPC.
