Do you use your powers for good or for awesome? Senior #DevOps Engineer at a major research institution (views/opinions my own) and a severe #Linux and #opensource enthusiast. Also into #retrocomputing, #fountainpens, #Volkswagen, #music, and #cooking. #fedi22 Hoosier currently living in California. Pixelfed: @vwbusguy Video game talk: @vwbusguy

My #ADHD has been a valuable asset over my career for doing #DevOps stuff like CI and container orchestration (ie, swarm, #Kubernetes, etc) and scripted automations, as generally the more complex something is, the more interesting I thrive in figuring it out and implementing it - but with great exception to tedious and cumbersome API and UI workflows.

What would Tom Bombadil do at a time like this?

I am pretty well expiernced with Docker, but there is so much container tech i would love to learn and play with... especially now that docker hub put up barriers to free orgs.

Podman is a great Docker alternative and Kata Containers is a way to run containers in tiny VMs, which is especially great for multi tenant hosts or zero trust environments.

TIL about #headlamp - a useful GUI for #Kubernetes and it's available via #flatpak .

if the bridge thing isn't going to be resolved soon I guess I'll give IRCCloud some of my money again ...

nostr:npub1cruumka4f5c4kq9v78kf06s8l098z8jl9ftzxnu92dm3z8svn94q8mavww I very much doubt Matrix would have gotten nearly as far as it has without IRC bridging. I'm concerned about its future now without it.

For example, it's probably not going to catch stuff talking directly over layer2 within the network itself.

Shout out to everyone else out there who still uses a SOCKS5 proxy as their VPN.
