Stuck some cool stickers out, grab one while they last

KCDUK Edinburgh edition is go!

Upgraded to macOS Tahoe expecting to thoroughly hate and it's fine. There's a good number of rough edges that I'm sure will get refined over time, but in general I'm cool with it.

Last night was class, great turnout and two talks that elicited the greatest number of questions I think we’ve ever had!

Fascinating history on exactly why Apple went through the process of getting OS X UNIX certified: www.quora.com/What-goes-in...

I wonder if the number of folks abandoning macOS won't have the effect of Apple pulling back on their work and reshaping it into what it should be (and once was). Instead of fighting to regain those users they'll just say "fuck it" and leave it to rot into irrelevance.

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...

For those following along, I eventually got it working by upgrading the version of 1Password and also setting ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland

Spent a good two hours configuring Niri only to find out clipboard / copy and paste is broke between X11 apps and everything else Wayland, AMA.

I’ve a sudden urge to watch Van Homan’s section from Criminal Mischief. RIP Ozzy.

This release from Rye Coalition, their first recording in >20 years, makes me equal parts very happy and very sad. An amazing tribute. ryecoalition.bandcamp.com/album/paid-i...

This looks like a functional cafe.

Swung by Scan HQ yesterday and loved that they had a framed old pricelist on the desk in reception. I used to know these like the back of my hand.

Brewdog’s Wingman is the worst beer I’ve ever had.

Shut up and take my money

About 70% of my YouTube faves are videos in which the noise the car makes is the reason I faved it in the first place. This latest save is, I think, the best one yet. Skip to about 3:45 if you must and witness the sound of that V8 once it opens up: youtu.be/YVAcRNYFCrw?...

I love that software which is clearly a labour of love such as this exists: bauhausclock.com

Freddie’s not particularly impressed by my new sticker

“Enjoying” being in the Cloud Native AI session and also being able to hear the audio from the adjacent Platform Engineering session 😬

Perfect spring morning for a stretch of the old legs before the onslaught of KubeCon begins

Hello London

Ah, the guilt trips have started already

CFP for KCD UK 2025 Edinburgh is open! Head over to Sessionize to make your submission - sessionize.com/kcd-uk-edinb...

Another great turnout for tonight’s Kubernetes Edinburgh meetup 💪

So happy Tapbots are finally doing a client for Bluesky

RIP Linux on Apple Silicon I guess: lkml.org/lkml/2025/2/...

We have a full house today at #CloudNative Meetup Edinburgh 🥳🍕🍻, despite the weather warnings for tomorrow. Starting with talk on secure cloud development. Exited to spend evening with the local community! Thanks for organising @nick.sausage.social @adrianmouat.com

Epic turnout for tonight’s Kubernetes Edinburgh meetup, great to see this group growing with a lot of new faces 💪

Give our serverless inferencing service a shot, we're launching it Real Soon Now ™ (honest) and it'll be a rare combination of both awesome and cheap.

Bowled over by the Cloud Native and Kubernetes Edinburgh Meetup.com group surpassing 1000 members this weekend. Never thought I'd see that! 🤯https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-kubernetes-edinburgh/

Great to see @nscale.com get a mention in the news! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We’ve a cracking Cloud Native and Kubernetes Edinburgh meetup scheduled for later this month, two great talks plus a bunch of special guests in attendance. RSVP here if you can make it: www.meetup.com/cloud-native...

The @oxide.computer / dtraceconf shirt that just arrived goes some way towards making up for an otherwise rubbish week with computers.

This is a happy sight to see after the last few days…

They squandered the holy grail https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/squandered-holy-grail/

Finally - about time I learned about how these infernal contraptions work

Great to see Ghostty (ghostty.org) hit 1.0 and finally be public. I've been on the beta since October 2023 and it's been a privilege to watch it evolve. And in a stroke of terminal serendipity, Berkeley Mono V2 was released today too - the Semi Condensed version is :chefs-kiss:

Not where I wanted to be at 11pm on a Sunday night…

Apple Intelligence rollout going well then 🤭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Holy shit there’s a Bluey theme for iTerm2 now: github.com/mbadolato/iT...

After some hackery I've got Kamaji blended with Kubernetes clusters deployed via Unikorn 🎉

wake up babe new Linux distro just dropped www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ah yes, just the kind of help I needed thanks Freddie

Took advantage of Historic Scotland’s free Sundays offer to have a mooch round Edinburgh Castle today. Forgot how epic the views were when it’s a clear day

Stay classy, Microsoft www.ghacks.net/2024/11/21/m...

The new Nuclear Dudes album is a surprise and a bit of a departure, but no less of an absolute banger especially the opening track: nucleardudes.bandcamp.com/album/compre...

Of course, there’s no substitute for the real thing. Every time I fire up my ancient Indigo 2 and click around in Irix I’m amazed at how snappy and immediate everything feels. For all the supposed progress in desktop computing, it sure feels like we’ve lost sight of a lot of the basics.

Purely by chance I happened to notice that there was a new release of the "MaXX Interactive Desktop" (docs.maxxinteractive.com) - the SGI Irix Desktop - just yesterday, so I installed it in a VM and it's surprisingly awesome!
