I made this design in 2019, and it’s been ripped off by countless creepy little Temu shops, as well as by Shein. Seeing it in an AI ad is ruining my day, ngl. If you like it, buy one from me - link in bio. I actually give money to queer mutual aid and medical care groups.

So...yeah I just got my #thinkpad with windows 10 on it, to run #k3s in WSL2 and connect to my main Kubernetes cluster. OK, I don't think I can top today.

Super excited to share that the GitHub Actions runner that we host for IBM Z, LinuxONE, and Power is now in GitHub Marketplace. We're easier to find now! community.ibm.com/community/us... Thanks @jjasghar.bsky.social and about a dozen other folks we've worked with for MONTHS to make this happen!

Just watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and the Enterprise finally got a proper upgrade—sharp writing, swaggering Spock, and a crew that makes the final frontier feel like a weekend road trip. This show is stellar!

If you didn't know there are 3 different types of #github action runners. The free tier, self-hosted, and GitHub-hosted. The API can report on both self-hosted and GitHub-hosted, but not the free tier, it seems. Even though the free tier _is_ GitHub-hosted. Guess which one I need information on?

Hey @lunarjade.bsky.social or @bengineering.bsky.social any chance we can get the Let's Nope Express(es) back? I loved them, and realize they are a ton of work, but they were perfect for my lunch breaks. I can't find 2 hours to watch the whole stream, and the 30 minutes was perfect for me.

Listening to @podsaveamerica.crooked.com in the car, the boys mention Musk. Without a beat my 10 year old daughter said, “Isn’t Elon a robot?” All I could do is say “We genuinely don’t know.” And she goes along and hums the break song.
