I just dropped my COMPLETE GitHub Actions course on YouTube! 🚀 3.5+ hrs long, starting with the basics and progressing to a robust system for building, testing, and deploying apps! 💻 The best part? It's FREE! Link below 👇 Thank you to @namespacelabs.com for sponsoring! 🙏 youtu.be/Xwpi0ITkL3U

Released Actions Up for interactive GitHub Actions updates. 🔼 It replaces floating version tags with commit SHAs for better security. Scans all workflows, shows outdated actions, lets you choose what to update, and adds version comments for readability. github.com/azat-io/acti...

Good morning ☕️

"Oh, wow! This product looks awesome!" ...checks pricing... ┌────────┐ │ Talk to Sales ➡ │ └────────┘ "Oh, I guess I need to convince myself it's not as awesome as I thought" 😞

Nobody: Me: I think I’ll try replacing the battery and thermal paste on my MacBook 😳

What am I about to say here?

So what exactly do you do?

Looking for your next DevOps role? 👀 I’ve worked with nominal.io for the past 18 months, building DevOps & cloud infrastructure systems. We are adding a new member to the team! Infra stack: AWS, Kubernetes, Crossplane, FluxCD, GitHub Actions, Datadog jobs.lever.co/nominal/cba5...

I have received multiple emails from a hair transplant company asking if they can sponsor a video on my [DevOps] YouTube channel 💀

Follow up! Were you able to develop/intuit the whole thing or did you have to look up and memorize the algorithms? I can intuit the first two layers but have to look up the algos for the final layer

Getting hand, foot, and mouth was not on my bingo card for 2024, but here we are 😳 For anyone who has gotten it as an adult, how screwed am I? (I already have the worst sore throat I can remember)

Potentially controversial opinion: granny smith’s are an s-tier apple 🍏

I just switched sidpalas.com, devopsdirective.com, and courses.devopsdirective.com from Plausible to GoatCounter 🐐 I used to self host Plausible, but: 1. The free credits for the VM I was running on expired 2. A couple of times the clickhouse instance storing event data filled up the disk with logs

I debate whether or not to purchase things (or which option to buy) long enough that if I spent that time doing client work I could just pay for the item with the extra money... 🙈

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer. Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.

The cool thing about keeping a workout log is being able to look back and see how much you lifted 5 years ago... 💪 The sad thing about keeping a workout log is being able to look back and see how much you lifted 5 years ago [compared to now]... 😭

Don’t lose yourself in the Kubernetes!

I'm seriously considering getting the new Mac Mini + portable monitor instead of a MacBook Pro... Most of the time, I work out of my home office. Once a week I work elsewhere, but at a desk (and already bring keyboard + mouse + iPad for sidecar). 👍 or 👎?

What causes DevOps complexity? Why do software systems devolve into a world of pain and toil? It is due to a topic I have named... The DevOps Chasm! 🧵

I refuse to join Bluesky. I don’t want to become part of an Expo chamber.

Searching your handle here skyzoo.blue/stats/ shows what number member you were! I was #40,478!

Seeing everyone's KubeCon posts 😢

Introduce yourself with some jobs you’ve done apart from what you do now: - Mowing lawns/landscaping 🌱 - Waiting tables 🍴 - Mechanical engineer (Satellites 🛰️ ) - Mechanical engineer (3d printing 🖨️ ) - Mechanical engineer (Lasers 🪩)

I woke up this morning and reminded myself to live with intentionality.

Just a casual 3.2M line PR… 😳

When writing infrastructure as code, do you modify resource names to make them human readable, or keep the autogenerated random names generates by [terraform|pulumi|crossplane|etc…] to avoid naming collisions? 🤔

I usually treat all sources of income the same. Paycheck, bonus, cash back, its all going to the same place so why think about it any differently? That being said, unprompted tips for my content... those hit different! 🫶 🥹

My favorite version of this meme:

351 trick or treaters! 🎃 🍫 😮‍💨

Did you know you can get logs for all pods within a Deployment/DaemonSet/StatefulSet with a single command?! kubectl logs -l key=value --prefix=true This will get the logs AND prefix them with the pod name!

What do you use for managing releases in a mono-repo? I’ve been using release-please (github.com/googleapis/r...) but just hit a case that it doesn’t handle well (shared code in two packages) and am curious how others are handling this type of thing!

Hi, Folks! 👋 I’m Sid. I run the “DevOps Directive” YouTube channel. I like to talk about: - DevOps - Infrastructure as Code - Docker/containers - Kubernetes - Parenting toddlers - Lifting weights - Coffee - DIY + home improvement - Track and field / pole vault

Out here talking nonsense. Like he’s got a detached HEAD or something 😵‍💫

Aeron for $400 on FB marketplace one town over… should I get it?! 🤔 Currently have a Steelcase leap v1 which I like, but everyone raves about the HM Aeron!

My new favorite class of bug is the one where your infrastructure as code tool breaks for AWS govcloud (or any nonstandard partition) in subtle ways 🫠

My Kubernetes course repo is outpacing my Docker course repo! 🚀 📈📈📈 Links: - github.com/sidpalas/dev... - github.com/sidpalas/dev...

One by one.

For ~$75 you can completely revolutionize your bathroom experience: 1: Toilet seat bidet attachment ($30 - cleans your 🍑) 2: Sink faucet swivel aerator ($15 - fixes poorly designed faucets 🧼) 3: Decent shower head ($30 - makes low water pressure bearable 🚿) Trust me on this.

For those interested, I used https://github.com/cloneofsimo/lora/tree/master and trained with a handful of photos of myself. Training took around 20 min on a Linode machine type "Dedicated 32 GB + RTX6000 GPU"

Apparently, our AI overlords think my defining feature is my receding hairline 🤣

👀 -- people seem to like the Docker course! 🎉

Making oatmeal with oatmilk... yea or nay? Kind of the vegan equivalent of duck confit 😅

Twitter can't seem to decide how to pronounce "Daemon"... 👀 What does BlueSky think?

bluesky team: shares one line of code everybody: how can i cause problems

Polyphasic sleep hack: have a child! 🥱

Woo! The KubeconEU 23 talks were published to the CNCF youtube channel! Lots of good ones in there, but I just watched @lookitup.baby @mauilion.dev, @bradgeesaman.com, @mccune.org.uk talk about fooling container image scanners! Highly recommend! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9weGi0csBZM /HONK

The there is something wonky going on with the space-time continuum during the time between when your wire transfer goes through and when the recipient confirms they have received it… 🐌⏳😰

Companies that do not have a public pricing page are so frustrating! 🤬 You're gonna force me to get on the phone with your salesperson BEFORE you can even tell me how much your product costs?! No thanks! 🙅‍♂️

How do you know everybody else in the world isn't an NPC?

The reception to last week's Docker course was incredible! I received amazing feedback from so many students already improving their container skills using the course! 🎉 Today, the course gets a free upgrade! I added written guides to accompany each of the 36 lessons! 📝 courses.devopsdirective.com
