Hot take: With the US withdrawal from WHO, cutting off 20% of their source of funds… there are places like Kakuma refugee camp that will fall to their knees. The healthcare system there is heavily reliant on NGOs and this is going to be very very tricky moving forward.

When you deploy Kubernetes, you usually begin your access with a certificate. It's easy, it's simple, it doesn't require a login, and it's a TERRIBLE IDEA!!!!! Friends don't let friends use certificates for accessing Kubernetes. For TBT, our blog post explains why!

Officially migrated all my notes from Notion to Obsidian 💎 Just finished installing the Excalidraw addon and now I have my system architecture diagrams right where I want them, beside my notes. Migration was simple and direct. Obsidian’s minimalism and simplicity was just too hard to resist. 🚀

Google you are exactly who you think you are. 🫵 Whenever I want to read a whitepaper of any sort, I first upload it as a source onto NotebookLM and create a podcast episode real quick. Without even mentioning the 'upload a YouTube video' feature, I’ve already 10X my learning.

I believe audiobooks are just as good(if not better). I find myself able to recall lots of information from audiobooks I’ve read with so much ease. 🤔 Maybe it’s just me since I’ve always preferred attending physical classes in campus because I tend to remember this knowledge more than what I read

medium.com/cwan-enginee... When using the Elastic Kuberentes Service (EKS) to host your app you may need to be able to make calls to AWS services in your AWS account from pods. The way you set this up is to associate an IAM Role with a Kubernetes Service Account. Examples of how are below. (1/3) 🧵

If bluesky pops off there's gonna be tonnes of people with their own domains again, just random websites they own for some reason. hopefully means a resurgence of cool lil websites just for fun, a personal homepage, like when I was a kid. Buzzing for that potential timeline!

Refreshing my VPC Lattice knowledge with this episode from @cables2clouds.com Now that all AWS compute types (EC2, ECS-new, Lambda, EKS etc) are inherently supported by VPC Lattice, you can easily experiment with different workloads in each depending on your application needs/preference 🤯🤯
