Time for another blog post! Last week I gave my first in-person talk at a conference since 2017 and I've written a little about the experience dickingwithdocker.com/posts/giving...

My talk at @containerdays.bsky.social this week was on Kubernetes and post exploitation. I've had a couple of requests for a companion blog post, so here it is. The post looks at some things attackers might do in clusters they've compromised to retain access. raesene.github.io/blog/2025/09...

Hey @octopus.energy, what's up with the change to Octoplus free drink codes recently? It's impossible to get one now (even if I check very early in the morning).

Probably the best (and most chaotic) lightning talk I've ever seen, courtesy of @jamesl.bsky.social at @kcduk.bsky.social last year. Just a shame that you cannot hear the laughter from the audience! youtu.be/NAgxyyL-7LI?...

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Reason #77 why I love working at @giantswarm.io - I can just take a random Tuesday morning off to brush up on my skills. Someone remind me what a holiday allowance is again?
