Getting the Heptio band back together 😀

Excellent afternoon talking about Kubernetes networking and Virtualisation on Kubernetes.

Just heard Kubernetes 2.0 is about to be announced. #kubecon

Come and replace me at @hiveit.co.uk! They're a lovely bunch of people with a real focus on improving user experience and accessibility. If you've got any questions about the role I'd be happy to have a chat. www.hiveit.co.uk/careers/seni...

Had a few bits of @kube-vip.bsky.social clothing made 🐙. All of it make me look like I work for a fish mongers. 🫠

Make egress traffic look like ingress allowed Loophole Labs leverage XDP to 12x the throughput of iptables, and all without kernel patches 📈 eBPF is freedom to rethink how the kernel works.

Anyone considering SIG-BOULDERING. 🧗🏻 next week at #kubecon

An eBPF Loophole: Using XDP for Egress Traffic XDP is Linux's fastest packet processor but only handles incoming traffic. We found a loophole in how the kernel determines packet direction to make it work for outgoing traffic too! Blog post with details 👇 loopholelabs.io/blog/xdp-for...

Great post by @alex.sorlie.io

Managed 25 minutes in this thing before I was starting to overheat 🥵

Come join me in 20 minutes, rumour is i'll be doing this in Halloween Fancy Dress too (whilst writing eBPF code) 🧟‍♂️

Join @thebsdbox.co.uk this Friday to get hands on with eBPF and Kprobes. eBPF & Cilium Office Hours 📆 Friday, 31 October, 2pm GMT 🎥 Livestream: www.youtube.com/live/JMnG5Hf...

Capturing keystrokes through eBPF ⌨️

Another day another Kubernetes networking doesn't work "issue" because someone misspelt a selector and/or label. 🫠

Just finished the John Candy documentary. He was pretty much in movies of my time so it hit pretty hard. I’d recommend it.

**Using a Laptop as an HDMI Monitor for an SBC** Wrote up some quick notes on how I use HDMI to USB capture cards to breathe new life into old laptops as HDMI monitors for my single board computers (SBCs). danielmangum.com/posts/laptop...

Pretty close to the episode of Brookyln nine nine where they go undercover in the library.

Been wanting to play with in kernel (kTLS) for a while, my mTLS proxy for encrypted pods now moves all encryption into the kernel 🤩

Pre-2020 I was going to meetups in Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and even London - these days I just don’t have the energy to do that but I feel like I really miss out on community

Came back for 13 local legends in the Peak District this weekend.

Unacceptable… immediately had to get on my bike to rectify the situation.

Live footage of me configuring a Cisco switch tomorrow on eCHO 😑

Spent a good 50 mins queuing for the Star Wars ride at Disney, Oscar (who is 5) repeatedly referred to the “lightswords” for the duration and refused to be corrected. Pretty surprised we survived the queue.

We've just announced the next Cloud Native and Kubernetes Edinburgh event, back after a bit of a break over summer with an absolute banger of a meetup that includes the one and only @thebsdbox.co.uk www.meetup.com/cloud-native...

I have my ducks in a row.

Sheffield was looking pretty epic in the sun yesterday evening.

Spotted @edera.dev

Watching a documentary and I’m pretty sure that’s the infinity gauntlet. 😬

thebsdbox.co.uk/2025/07/17/e... Excited to finally get the new egress in kube-vip.io out the door. As we slowly reach a v1.0 release 😱

About to cause some havoc!

What I’m now calling egressV2 is pretty much done in kube-vip.io, native kernel calls and simple nftables rules should make for a much nicer experience. github.com/kube-vip/kub...

Does your city look as good as Sheffield did yesterday evening?

Cancel all my calls.

Finally managed to get IPv6 egress re-implemented using the go nftables pkg (uses syscalls) in kube-vip. 🐙

There's a lot of kube-vip.io deployments out there 🤩

Getting very close (github.com/kube-vip/kub...) Kube-vip.io can now egress pods through a service IP providing stable addresses, without the need for a bunch of external tools in the pod 🥹

Kids entertainment has changed a lot since I was a child. 🦖

Excited to get to a point where kube-vip.io will finally be free of shelling out to ip/nf-tables for its egress functionality. 🤩

Super excited about the Spaceballs 2 announcement. Time to rewatch the original.

Me and @katiefenn.bsky.social said some words about @frontendnorth.bsky.social. Thanks for having us on the podcast (for the second time!) @sheffield.digital

Lovely morning to the Emley moor mast and back! One road had 23.4% gradient on it, which was fun.

Excited to be on my bike at 6am tomorrow to do 80km of Gravel 🚲

lwn.net/Articles/101... This is pretty cool, looking forward to seeing how we can make use of it.

Still thinking about last night 🌮

lwn.net/Articles/101... This looks like it would be fun in Klustered @rawkode.dev 😂
