This morning I uploaded a high-speed video from my phone to Claude and asked it to make a slow-motion gif of the part where the hummingbird sticks its tongue out. And it did. I dunno, we might be in The Future™️

This is by far the nicest morning for running all summer. Going for 15 this time.

Learned about a footgun running postgres on k8s. The postgres Dockerfile uses a VOLUME command which means it'll mount a local dir if nothing else is mounted there when run. In this case I got that local dir mounted under my PVC so on every restart the data went poof despite appearing persistent

A few days ago we noticed a nest of baby birds hidden behind a wreath in our door. Last night they were out of the nest sitting on the wreath. This morning the nest was empty. But don’t worry, this isn’t causing me to project any feelings about my own kids growing up AT ALL.

After a break for putting up Christmas decorations I'm back at it and the cluster has been bootstrapped. Running the conformance tests and then I'll probably call it a day. The only other thing I want to do before really using the cluster is try to set up a floating ip for the k8s api endpoint

Initially I got 4 of the official PoE hats but for the 1 replacement I got a third party hat from GeeekPi. Now I kinda wish I’d gotten 4 of those. Takes up less space, leaves room for more heat sinks, keeps most gpio pins exposed, and has some nice blue leds too

Good news: The PoE hats arrived today Bad news: I misaligned the pins when putting one on and snapped off the 4-pin header. Worse news: When I was holding up the header to see if it could be resoldered I dropped it and haven’t found it. Looks like I may have to order another.
