AWS adds nested virtualization option for handful of EC2 instances

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Power to the People!

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

🐙 I built OctoStore: leader election and locking as a service. No etcd cluster. No Consul. No ZooKeeper. Start locking via HTTP. Single 🦀 binary. Self-hostable. Free hosted version. No business model. Just a thing that should exist. octostore.io github.com/octostore/octostore.io

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line. Obsidian CLI is now available in 1.12 (early access).

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files. What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable? We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

To everyone just now finding out Isaac Asimov was rather famously a sex pest: He's been gone 34 years now, you can handle this truth, I believe in you

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

Every American needs to watch this:

With the ease of running your own ai bot to do anything for you… - We really need to have some serious personal rbac. - non-OTP MFA, preferably biometric.

Would love to see this get widely adopted. Having deep links between code and conversation history would be so valuable for both developers and agents agent-trace.dev

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Any one with some in with #Cloudflare to help this guy with some ddos help. #DreamHavenBooks

Just found out this dude’s store is called Dreamhaven Books. dreamhavenbooks.com

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

No President and no administration is above our country’s Constitution, and no one in this country is without rights.  Support your community by staying peaceful and prepared. Report federal agent misconduct to: oag.ca.gov/ReportMisconduct

Compare what Noem said to the video.

I’ll provide an update on this morning’s shooting shortly: www.youtube.com/live/EwnrX_n...

FastMCP 3.0 is here! This is our largest and most ambitious release ever. We've re-architected the framework to support the next generation of MCP applications. It's time to move fast and make things. 🧵

"If LLMs are so great at increasing productivity where's all the new software?" This seems most evidently true in the agent tooling space. People are spinning up new projects left and right and largely all building the same things. Makes the post-jQuery Cambrian explosion in frontend look mild

Great job, everyone, we did it again

>In Helm 3, Helm generates a patch of the containers object between the old manifest, the live state, and the new manifest. It notices that the new manifest changes the image tag to 2.1.0, but live state contains a sidecar container This seems to break all principles of infrastructure as code to me

I figured out how to move a 14TB PG Db to another Google project using the CloudSQL auth proxy. 🤞I’ll report back with details.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) promises a new way for LLMs to use tools. Chris Riccomini argues it mostly reinvents OpenAPI, gRPC & CLIs. Resources = docs Tools = RPC Prompts = configs So… could MCP have just been a JSON file? 💡 More insights: www.dataengineeringw...

Another brand new new feature is the R2 data catalog: blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-d... Build something with Pipelines and R2 SQL. I suggest receiving OpenTelemetry data and then surfacing that in a web app (logs should be fairly straightforward), but there are tons of uses for this.
