Kubernetes Isn Kubernetes isn sliplane.io [1] This post feels like it was written by someone who has never tried kubernetes, someone who reads twitter, listens to t3.gg and thePrimeagen (who cant even container let alone kubernetes). If you cant run linux, use bash, build your own docker images, run docker comfortably. If infra is not your thing kubernetes is probably not for you. Kubernetes Was Built for Google Just like how react was built for facebook to solve facebook problems with many teams contributing effectively to the same interactive interfaces. Turns out that react is actually a pretty good product if you have a highly interactive page, and if this is your bread and butter, you can make overly heavy static sites with too much build very effectively. It works and runs much of the internet now. We are getting serious. We need serious tools. Big companies use Kubernetes. We should too. It feels more professional. It sounds like we know what we are doing. If anyone uses these reasons to pitch kubernetes to me they don’t belong in a position to make any sort of decision. The first one could be a heading with maybe something under it. But Kubernetes should not be y...

csi-driver-smb/deploy/example/smb-provisioner at master · kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb This driver allows Kubernetes to access SMB Server on both Linux and Windows nodes. - kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb GitHub · github.com [1] Great guide to setting up a samba server right in kubernetes. I tried it out after too long of playing with trying to get connected to a samba share on ucore, no idea what was wrong, but this just works, and will live in my homelab [2] no matter what distro I’m on, no playbook required to set it up, just good ol k8s manifest. TBH I cheated and haven’t set up the secrets yet, so its not quite in argocd or in my github repo, but POC is there and it works as advertised without issue. Note This post is a thought [3].

External Link X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1] The message so many of us need to hear, stop scrolling and start creating. I’m not sure that I have a heavy issue with this, I barely scroll the socials anymore, I have my own rss reader curated with people that I enjoy consuming from. YT is often done as a family activity (with my wife) or listening while doing something like dishes. But I think I’ve been on the other side of this for awhile. There’s something that ticks my brain by twiddling with linux nonsensically or pip install thing-i-heard-about-today and try it. I’m not imune though, I often fill gaps in the day with nonsense short content, but try to avoid the short trap. Note This post is a thought [2].

- How many times in one video can Prime say dude just use arch, dude arch would be way easier, dude you know how hard you are making this on yourself. I do not envy those who desire full size configurability but stuck with the opinions of GatesJobs. Windows and Mac are so rigid, that it makes it impossible to do any level of customizability that I would want to do for productivity. Unless you Must work on win/mack for some reason of work, you make something for one of them, you use Adobe, or you play competitive online multiplayer with easy anticheat there is a distro for you. The number of things that you need a win/mack for is greatly shrinking, you don’t have to submit yourself to the pain of Gates that this guy has done. Note This post is a thought [1].

- Copyparty looks like a feature full self hosted [1] file server, putting this into my check out later when I get back to my desk.

- Ben sold me on the mini pocket pry here. It’s funny how so many minimalist tools become over the top titanium damascus with wild patterns and designs. they look amazing, but are they worth the insane price for simple things? I like my edc to be things I don’t worry about breaking, loosing, or giving away. Fancy ass prybars for $200+ gives me all of those negative feelings I don’t want on my edc.

- Ben is always good for a banger of a video, this images app is something that i really want in my homelab [1], he did some great polish here! The idea of building vibe coded applications for your own personal use with all of your own personal opinions and workflows is something that has been an appealing part of ai, I’ve definitely tossed a few apps in my homelab that I use occasionally and they do what I ask of them pretty accurately. This feels great to use, but also seems to kill any startup idea I have, as most of them feel like they could be vibe coded out by someone with a bit of skill and they just host their own. Maybe this is a good thing, maybe we are moving into an era of more people owning their own app they use for themself, maybe i need a security related startup? Note This post is a thought [2].

- I don’t think I ever fully heard the full meaning of vsc*** and why it gets bleeped. I knew that it had to do with M$, but Teej explains it so well here. Its about the editor not really being open sources, but is marketed to be such. Note This post is a thought [1].

Glossary Web Component The one where I put the hypercard in the hyperlink dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1] I really enjoy David’s Glossary, he has absolutely nailed it. I’m working on one for myself that feels close but not quite. I want to have a list of words that auto glossary to terms for me, maybe this is too much automation and I should just lean on wikilinks, i.e. sick wikilink hover [2], they only take wrapping in brackets. But like David mentions here its a lot of work to make sure they are right on all the older posts. I think it needs to be done with js on my setup, I don’t have no fancy wroker to modify html [3] on the way out, I’m fully static right now, so i would need to do full rebuilds any time the glossary changes, i’m trying to cut down on the number of features that require full site rebuilds and potential cache issues.

An Ode To My 10-Year-Old Thinkpad T440 mbrizic.com [1] I like reading about old hardware and how to keep it running, sending shit out to e-waste after barely using it for a year makes my skin crawl. I find it interesting how most of these resurrections start with a linux build, and the author giving in and going for linux for the first time and enjoying being able to use something they thought was useless for real work. That being said I have weird thoughts similar to this guy about being able to take a machine and write a novel somewhere off in the distance, but any time I try to do real work form any laptop these days the ergonomics become so unappealing that I tend to just not do anything away from my desk. Theres something that sounds so great about opening vim on old hardware that could last for hours, sip on coffee and write away, but it never works out like that in practice.

uv run for running tests on versions of Python Using uv run with make to replace tox or nox for testing multiple versions of Python locally. https://daniel.feldroy.com · daniel.feldroy.com [1] Such a fantastic use of uv, its so fast and flexible and does everything I need that next time I go to set up some more complex testing like this I’m going to lean towards it more than i would something like tox. In the post Daniel sets up matrix testing for testing out different versions of python with the same pytest test suite. Note This post is a thought [2].
