Separations of Concerns is a Lie - YouTube www.youtube.com
Nice take by @t3dotgg. Some of the old patterns that go deep into webdev, MVC, separation of concerns, REST, are things we are told to believe on day one, thrown so many things, no mental bandwidth, or experience to form our own opinions we must take them as fact. Rarely do we take these facts and revisit them with our new understandings years later.

johanhaleby/kubetail: Bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from… github.com
GitHub - johanhaleby/kubetail: Bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from multiple pods at the same time Bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from multiple pods at the same time - johanhaleby/kubetail GitHub · github.com Kubetail is a pretty sick bash script that allows you to tail logs for multiple pods in one stream.

Kubernetes Secrets in 5 Minutes! - YouTube www.youtube.com
I am converting my docker compose env secrets over to k8s secrets. This guide was clear and to the point how I can replicate this exact workflow. First set the secret, the easiest way is to use kubectl wtih –from-literal because it automatically base64 encodes for you. If you don’t use the you will have to base64 encode it. Once you have your secret deployed, you have to update the container spec in your deployment manifest to get the valueFrom secretKeyRef.
Waylon Walker 🐍 on X: “Which is more complicated” / X twitter.com
waylon walker (@_WaylonWalker) on X Which is more complicated X (formerly Twitter) · twitter.com Wow, shocked at these results. All this time I’ve been told and believed that k8s is incredibly hard, and you need a $1M problem before you think about it because it will take a $1M team to maintain it. So far my experience has been good, and I definitely do not have a $1M problem in my homelab.

What a great example, If I’m looking at the second jQuery example, I have to dig into dev tools or make some assumtions that this team uses jQuery, and selects by id, therefore I can grep for.

Creating k8s jobs with python thoughts.waylonwalker.com
External Link thoughts.waylonwalker.com I was looking to add running kubernetes jobs to a python cli I am creating, and I found this solution, mostly thanks to and my loose understanding of what the yaml syntax is supposed to look like for a kubernetes job. This will let me create a job in the cluster, choose the image that runs, the command that is called, and how long until the job expires and is cleaned up. While the job still exists I can go in and look at the logs, but once its ttl has expired they are gone.
How to kill process based on the port number in Linux - Linux … linuxconfig.org

Quick-Start Guide | K3s docs.k3s.io
Quick-Start Guide | K3s This guide will help you quickly launch a cluster with default options. Make sure your nodes meet the requirements before proceeding. docs.k3s.io I recently spun up k3s in my homelab. I’m trying to offload some work off of my free tier fly.io app in order to keep it free tier without crashing. My main hiccup so far was the machine I am running on runs zfs on root, and it would not start the master node. Rather than figuring out how to make zfs play nice I just pointed k3s to a drive that is not zfs.
Episode #433 Litestar: Effortlessly Build Performant APIs - [T… talkpython.fm
Litestar: Effortlessly Build Performant APIs We all know about Flask and Django. And of course FastAPI made a huge splash when it came on the scene a few years ago. But new web frameworks are being created all the time. And they have these ea... talkpython.fm Litestar is an interesting api framework similar to fastpi, that I am interested to check out to see if it fits into some project scope. It sounds like it comes with a lot more batteries included for things like auth, but does not have hard opinions like django. At this point I’m not jumping off of fastapi, but its something I want to try.
