One of the things I love about macos is how simple and accessible it is to change basic settings of inbuilt functionality.... really sets itself apart from a No GUI Linux installation.

A long time ago I was working with a #Kubernetes CSI a lot and met head on with Kubernetes finalizers. I wrote a little to understand and overcome those issues. Now I've spent some more time understanding them, and wrote a better deep dive. veducate.co.uk/kubernetes-f...

🎥 If you weren't at KubeCon you might not have seen me doing my best impression of a news reporter delivering the @cilium.io project updates. So much fun making this with @carlagg.bsky.social and James Spurin! youtu.be/thCrfsVJz4g

Today I'm brewing something up with an exploit POC and using Tetragon with @cilium.io to detect and protect against it!

I think this deserves a monday reshare especially for #KubeCon week! Or is the official tag #KubeConEU? Anyway another top quality deep dive guide on @cilium.io

It's true.... I read somewhere if you can't be arsed to do it, just do 5 minutes. Most of the time because you gave the start of 5 minutes, you'll continue further.

Complex overlay and underlay networking... yep no problem can smash through that. Add some updates to a YAML file and get the formatting right first time, second time, tenth time. Not a chance!

@ticketmaster.com introducing whack-a-mole to select seats to purchase on an interactive map has now become one of the worst UI design's imaginable, on mobile and desktop. They really are one of the worst brands out there!

#KubeCon session acceptances are out - I believe it's another record breaking CFP period in terms of numbers who applied, which means more than ever people will be finding out they weren't successful! Just remember, those sessions are still fantastic for other meetups and events! Get Applying!

👀 I feel like there's a generational shift in terms of the power of vendors changing, techies' interests changing, and the communities they want to build or be part of. The day of the constant blogger superstar is over. 🚨

Best use of AI? Giving it your employment history and info about the stuff you've been involved in, and have it write a bio for you to use on publications etc Make's me 🤮 😂😂😂

Friendly reminder, API keys expire, and the software doesn't always error saying as such when you are trying to create things :D Well, that's a hard day's work done.

Today's fun: destroy my OpenShift cluster that's been running for a while, recreate it on the latest versions of OCP and Cilium, and hope for the best :D In Equinix, of all places, who unfortunately are ending their metal services soon.

I predict that Cilium will start to move beyond being the defacto networking stack for cloud native, and start to become the defacto building block for the datacenter networking and security.

I guess maybe I should start to consider posting on here. Anyone find their Social Media usage dropped off a cliff on the other platform, and now it's hard to get started again?
