  • Barnes & Noble is opening four new locations around Chicago this year: Got mixed feelings about it. It will compete with independent stores, but on the other hand, especially in places like state street, it will bring back more pedestrian traffic and also more third places we desperately need.
  • From Pets to Cattle: The New Mindset for Managing VMs: Historically, even the most well-managed virtual machines are treated with care, unlike the current usage of treating compute like temporary, ephemeral instances.
  • Bryan Cantrill: How Kubernetes Broke the AWS Cloud Monopoly: I don't completely agree that Kubernetes broke the AWS cloud monopoly. If anything, Azure and Google Cloud as well as regional Tier 2 cloud providers are keeping AWS in check. Kubernetes, however, did make on-premise more viable as you are able to wring more value from existing hardware. And just in time, thanks to the AI-driven memory crisis.
  • Amazon is opening a new retail location in Chicagoland: This is curious that Amazon is going full retail. I wonder what is Amazon's end goal with this.
  • ElastikaLab:Learn by doing: Kubernetes, Docker, Linux & more: Excellent way to get up to speed with Kubernetes and supporting technologies.
  • State file encryption and hardware attestation keys are no longer enabled by default: It turns out edge case that could prevent tailscale to startup is not an edge case after all.
  • Shipmap: Watch ships. . . shipping.
  • Expired certificate completely breaks macOS Logitech apps, user customizations: Imagine your mouse not working properly because the software supporting it broke. It is no longer the issue of drivers, but now also the certificates too.
  • Termux: Why Your Android Phone is Actually a Secret Linux Server, DevOps Army Knife, and Hacking Tool? Top 20+ Packages!: I should build a beowulf cluster of those phones!
  • How to Move to the Gateway API: post ingress-nginx Retirement: What you can to migrate off of ingress-nginx.
