fluxCD brings a really nice helm-controller that will allow to change manifests via a postRenderers stub while still allowing to use regular helm tooling against the cluster.

Re:Bad Actors Are Grooming LLMs to Produce Falsehoods on Saturday July 12, 2025 @09:46AM (#44542042)
Same here, people use it like google for searching answers. It‘s a shortcut for them to not have to screen results and reason about them.
Re:MPPP – The first 'designer drug' disaster (2023) on Wednesday July 24, 2024 @01:25AM (#41053868)
I heard that argument before. Legitimizing one‘s own drug abuse for „medical reasons“ to make it socially acceptable.

Everyone is on some kind of spectrum and both people I had arguments with about your point of view - are both dead now thanks to overdosing.

I think the medical profession has a reason to exist and I‘d rather see people using professionals to treat their conditions than self-experimenting with possible fatal substances.

you might be fooled by the meaning of the word „distribution“ in the kubernetes vs. linux context.

in the linux context, a distribution would be an opinionated build of user-land tools around the linux kernel which might also bring patches done to the kernel by the distributor.

in the (cloud) kubernetes context, a distribution would be an opinionated (cloud) implementation of core kubernetes binaries (EKS/AKS/etc.pp.) on top of a linux-distribution of your liking.

to my humble understanding k3s is a stripped down and optimized (IMHO opinionated) build of kubernetes binaries derived from the official source.

kubeadm is the official projects (opinionated?) idea of arriving at a vanilla cluster, leaving you with the freedom to make choices for lots of the needed components involved.

in the linux context, „linux from scratch“ would be an analogy I suppose.

more knowledgeable people should please correct me if I‘m wrong in my understanding here.

Two 1200 Mk2 and a mixer - all you‘ll ever need to enjoy a good mix. Got my two babies an overhaul a few months ago - they still run like the first day 20+ years ago.

It takes a while to get there - and a lot of discipline of those involved.

In an ideal world, you wouldn‘t need that. But most systems never matured to be considered being in an ideal state / world.

What does that tell about Atlassian?
YES. I had to look twice to be sure this is the same project we used 20 years ago to throw visuals on a wall while having awesome parties! Back in the days I routed the audio from the dj-mixer into winamp to get this to work. Fun times! Thank you so much for those memories and big thumbs up for the maintainers of the project!
Re:Why not “Why not WireGuard?” (2020) on Sunday October 17, 2021 @03:46PM (#28899186)
The main selling point imho is the ability to build multi-node-mesh-networks super easily with something like tailscale on top of wireguard.

I also think this is a total different use-case than the one you’d most likely find in the wild today: people looking to use a VPN for „privacy issues“

Re:EC2 Boot Time Benchmarking on Tuesday August 17, 2021 @04:45AM (#28207603)
I‘d be interested in the time being spent running user-data modifications, so benchmarking bootstrapping scripts would be possible.
