“CERN has a long history of pushing boundaries; we were doing big data before big data was a thing.” Enrica Porcari, first CIO at CERN. Cloud native infrastructure is key to CERN’s operation as they contribute to and co-create the next generation of scientific computing. #KCDRomandie

Working in CAD hardware, @jess.dev realized she wanted the config-as-code from software (so she built it!) Of course, this means interesting new outages to learn from. One of their values at Zoo is “new mistakes only”.😹 #KCDRomandie

Trust in open source communities: figuring out where humans connect (not just companies and tools.) Whom do we trust? Trust requires context and judgement.💯 @sarahnovotny.com #KCDRomandie

Apropos of nothing: now would be a real cool time for the CNCF to realize that North America includes both Mexico and Canada and decide that KubeCon NA can be somewhere other than the US Just a thought

🐦 Last day for early bird tickets!!

Why do I seem to care more — and share more — about what's happening in the US than elsewhere lately? Is it because it's more important than in other countries? Yes, precisely. And why? 🧵

Most fascist regimes in history came to power through democratic means. Democracy isn’t a safeguard against fascism; it’s an ever going responsibility.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Seen from Europe, this has unfortunately been quite obvious for months now. I hope America doesn't wait too long to turn back and reclaim its freedom while there's still time. Don't assume you're immune. Fascism has happened in democracies before, and it will happen again unless you prevent it.

They once spoke without wires, I’ve heard—shaping breath into meaning, passing thoughts through air itself. The implant was faster, cleaner, perfect. But when the flare burned the sky, I opened my mouth to call for help… and found only silence. #microscifi

Books are great, blog posts can be insightful, talks can inspire... but nothing compares to doing! That’s why I love online labs as a teaching tool 🧪 They remove the friction. The infrastructure is ready. You get straight to the feature you want to understand — not just read about.

I gave up on finding a good and simple RAADS-R test online (Autism self-report questionnaire) that doesn't require an email address or even a payment... So I made one, supporting English and French: raphink.github.io/raads-r Bonus for a nice report in 🧵

🔓 No, your k8s workloads are not safe by default. In Kubernetes, everything can talk to everything by default, until you write Network Policies. 🛡️ They give you control over: - Who can talk to whom (L3) - On which ports (L4) - Using what verbs and paths (L7) 🧵

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

ICYMI yesterday - I wrote about the MAGA government siding with the German Neo-Nazi Party. They share the same enemy: liberal democracy. What a moment in U.S. history. If democracy is to prevail, America needs to establish a robust anti-fascist consensus. Some thoughts from my new piece:

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Little project from last week to test a fun way to train kids in critical thinking: raphink.github.io/realitycheck/ For now, the topics have been generated by a mix of GPT and Claude and probably still need to be fine-tuned: github.com/raphink/real...

Let's go to London! I'll be in the KubeTrain from Lausanne today, meeting some of you in Paris for the channel crossing 🚸

Next week, I'll be buzzing around KubeCon—armed with a tweed suit, a cane, and plenty of tea (or coffee) for great conversations! 🐝🎩🍵 Come find me for badge stickers, hands-on labs at the booth, or just roaming the halls catching up with friends old and new. See you in London! 🇬🇧
