  • Pod vs Container SecurityContext in OpenShift: What I Learned the Hard Way: I keep running into this every time I run a service or app that worked on Kubernetes but not on OpenShift. It is not a bad thing, it just means you have more work to do.
  • kubeshark: Of interested if you are troubleshooting networking issues on Kubernetes.
  • Deep Dive: Why Podman and containerd 2.0 are Replacing Docker in 2026: I can't completely agree as it looks like there people are still defaulting to Docker. But in a couple years, it may be a different story.

  • 2025 has been a disaster for Windows 11: I hear this before every time there is a version of Windows that is quite disliked. Will it be different this time and people actively move to Mac or even Linux? I doubt it. Windows is too entrenched at this point.
