I gave Jekyll a first serious shake recently and found I really like it. I want to compare with Hugo, too, but may move my blog over that way. Anyone have suggestions for exporting a Ghost blog to Markdown suitable for either of these?

So, haven't needed to do it in a while, but need to do it now: what are people using to build container images in places where docker isn't available (e.g. CI runners on #K8s) now that Kaniko is archived?

Is it crazy to build a new startup product in #dotnet today?

I love being the age where bad office chairs can give me back pain for days it's so fun

Had an idea for a kinda simple web app to help with something I wanted to do the other day. No auth needed. Landing page, creation page, and view page. Hardest part would be some CSS animations. Going to try to get it implemented this weekend. Stay tuned. #flask #python

If you were building a cozy pirate #ttrpg setting, what would you want to see in it?

Read a post where an #sre discovered a recent incident had the same root cause as an earlier incident. Someone chimed in that they didn't have the same root cause: the root cause of the second incident was not prioritizing the fix from the first incident. #postmortem items need due dates!

I don't post so often, these days, but this made my day. Versioned rollback is finally a thing in k8s. cloud.google.com/blog/product...

Java 2D can still be fun. #gamedev #java

My son and I enjoyed reading the first two books together. He leaves for college next year, I’ll have to send him a copy while he’s there.

I've been playing with Java over the past week. After years of semi-colonless languages, it feels a little strange, but there are parts of it I am really enjoying. Having a solid IDE which reminds me of features which I've forgotten--or which have been introduced between Java 8 and now--is nice.

Watching The Blob (1988) with my son (horror movies every Thursday in October). There are some surprisingly good effects in this for a late 80s film.

My books are in a Halloween sale til 1 Nov! 👻🏳️‍🌈 Cottonopolis is a queer historical novel. Shortlisted for the 2025 #LittleRebelsAward 🎪 www.northodox.co.uk/product-page...

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

One of my favorite ways to learn a new framework is to follow a tutorial for another language or version and try to make it work. When I was learning Django 2.x, I followed a tutorial for 1.x and became VERY familiar with the docs. Now, I’m following a C# microservices course, but writing it in Go.

October 11, 2025 is a milestone in comedy history. Not only is it the 50th anniversary of the 1st SNL, today is also the final new Dr. Demento show. After 55 years, Barret Hansen is hanging up his top hat. Please go to drdemento.com to hear his all time demented top 40 countdown special.

Migrated my @jellyfin.bsky.social server from a @proxmox.bsky.social VM to a physical server with a GPU for transcoding. Performance is way better, but that probably has to do with the bonded 10gig interfaces. 🤣

Not really a fan of the new iOS. I can’t imagine what it’s like for people with poor vision.

“The creative power of Chinese food remains undefeated.”

I fixed my first bug on a plane. That means I’ve achieved real dev status, right? 😅

Quickly burned through the Grafana Cloud free tier, so decided to stand up my own LGTM stack. Ended up trying out VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs instead of Mimir and Loki. Not quite as good of an integration with Grafana, but amazing performance which is killer for a scrappy side project.

Anyone in the #k8s world using Grafana Tanka? I feel like there is an appetite for something in between kustomize and Helm and it _looks_ like Tanka exists in that space.

Discovered that @netflix.com doesn't work if you're using DisplayLink on a Mac, since it looks like screen sharing. 😞 Since DisplayLink is required for my dock to work, it looks like I may be moving on from Netflix.

Spent an evening trying to get #htmx to trigger a Bootstrap alert. This was much more difficult than it should have been.

Hey, iOS. I _never_ want to correct “hell” to “he’ll.” Thanks.

7am standup is going to take some getting used to. 🥱☕️

Watching @dirtylaundryshow.bsky.social and Grant gives out better bartending wisdom than many cocktail folks with a YT channel.

Heading to Cambridge and plan to visit one of Tolkien’s favorite pubs. I’m realizing I don’t have physical copies of the Lord of the Rings, so am hoping to find a good set while there.

One of my favorite practices in MR review is emoji-based. - When someone requests review in Slack, react with 👀 once you start looking at it. - If you find something needing changes or discussion, react with 💭. - When you approve it, react with ✅. And, of course, thank the reviewer with a :ty:

Set up a @backblaze.bsky.social account tonight to back up my NAS. I had a thought the other night about what I'd grab in the event of a fire and thought about the NAS, but decided I should just back it up remotely and grab other things instead.

I'm currently working through a tutorial on #django + channels + #React. Interested to see how they work together, especially in a test-driven setup.

Elon Musk has taken control of government employees’ private data by having his cronies illegally install a commercial server at the Office of Personnel Management.

Looking forward to this. With my recent PF2e acquisitions, my group better like the system.

Spent the evening hunting down puff pastry/phyllo dough cups. Has there been a run on them? Are people stocking up in case of unexpected hors d'oeuvres parties?

No matter how good you think you are, you gotta be coachable if you want to get better.

The evidence just keeps growing that return-to-office policies cost companies their best employees, harm morale and productivity, and don't improve profitability. The CEOs forcing people into an office don't actually run their business "like a business" www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If you use Kubernetes you're going to want to bookmark this link. It's a GREAT way to see the structure of the various manifests and how they change from version to version in a diff style. kubespec.dev

Starting this one today, as recommended by my boss. Have a few more IC-focused ones in the queue.

I keep wanting to use django-ninja for an API, but I think DRF is still the way to go.

I wish #Comcast was on here so I could complain about four days of outages. Cannot wait to have an alternative become available.

As an active federal contractor, Coinbase is prohibited from making political contributions, including to super PACs. This makes $50 million that they have contributed in violation of pay-to-play laws for contractors.

Backups are out and snapshots are in! Brian breaks down everything you need to know for how to use pgBackRest with snapshots in a Kubernetes environment.

#Prometheus 3.0 is here! 🎉 I sat down with @prometheusio.bsky.social creator @juliusv.com to discuss this, #OpenTelemetry support and more updates from #PromCon EU 2024 🔥 horovits.medium.com/1c5edca32c87 #opensource #observability #cloudnative #cncf #kubecon @opentelemetry.io @cncf.bsky.social

Discovered a #redis setting that solves a big performance issue we’ve been having. Is the default in Redis, but was disabled for some reason in the Helm chart we used. 🤦

I'm going to be participating in the launch of Kargo 1.0, a new CD tool from the company that brought you Argo CD. We'll be streaming live tomorrow at 9:00 am PST, while we walk through what Kargo is, how it relates to Argo CD, and why you might want to use both. hubs.li/Q02VmWnh0

Who’s going to #DevOpsDays in Seattle? I’ll be there. Come say hi.
