For once, ChatGPT is not wrong

Our final eCHO episode for 2025 showed the incredible winning submissions to the #eBPF Summit Hackathon! www.youtube.com/live/CFEqXwO...

Unbelievably bad news for free speech. The BBC that we knew is being dismantled in front of our very eyes, and we will be worse off for its loss

As hosts for the #openuk awards, Nico Vibert and I did our best to be Tess & Claudia for the evening ✨

@openuk.bsky.social Awards Dinner at the House of Commons #openuk

Kind of shocked that @gozwift.bsky.social only just worked out how to calculate draft shadows on slopes! I always thought this didn’t seem realistic, particularly downhill. Thanks @zwiftinsider.com! zwiftinsider.com/drafting-upd...

If you’re going to and from rail stations in TfL’s Oystercard area, the contactless fare for the EXACT SAME journey can be dramatically cheaper than if you pay for a rail ticket

This week, I looked into how to mitigate DDoS attacks using XDP: blog.littlejo.link/en/ebpf-anot...

Enjoyable and interesting episode

📺 Down Cemetery Road had 🎶 Black Steel by Tricky at the end of this week’s episode, which is an awesome track I hadn’t heard in many years. Looking it up I learned it’s a Public Enemy cover. TIL!

I imagine a lot of folks are hurriedly writing system prompts to ignore human-illegible text (too small, not enough contrast, positioned off the screen, obscured by images…)

Debugging DNS? ✅ TCP and UDP traffic? ✅ L7 visibility into how workloads communicate? ✅ Visualisations? ✅ #eBPF www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/o...

Turns out that a cow eating bananas is delightful 🍌🐮

I hope that when Tess Daly & @claudiawinkleman.bsky.social retire as #strictly hosts they come back as contestants!

Finally some good news! www.theguardian.com/money/2025/n...

If AI is all it’s cracked up to be, why am I still hand-deleting so many cold emails selling things I don’t want?

This post makes a terrific point that the one thing the #opensource community doesn’t seem to want to iterate on is the set of licenses defined as “open source”. And, why no widespread accepted code equivalent of CC-BY-NC? (Whether I agree with every single word here is irrelevant btw)

WHSmith rebranding to TGJones is ridiculous. I think they were forced to rename after the high street shops but not the travel outlets were sold, but they either should have also licensed the brand, or taken the opportunity to do something different. What the have just looks shoddy and second-rate ☹️

🐝🐝🐝 The bees are gathering at @isovalent.bsky.social’s Hive Mind Mingle tonight - see you there? 🐝🐝🐝 isovalent.com/events/kubec...

Two more boxes of books have been located in the building! Signing approx 4:15 today!

My talk on successful OSS & business is in B308-309 in 10 mins! #kubecon

📚✍️ I'll be doing a Q&A session at the Isovalent booth at 13:15 today, and then signing copies of the new edition of Container Security. See you there! #kubecon

Not going to name and shame but I’ve already been shown a bit of booth design at #kubecon where the most charitable interpretation is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

@abangser.bsky.social is a natural on the #kubecon keynote stage. Great choice as the newest co-chair!

What to do when #kubecon travel issues lead to a talk cancellation? At #CiliumCon we’re lucky that 🐝 @tgraf.bsky.social was available to step in and do an AMA hosted by @breakawaybilly.bsky.social 👏

Nice visualisation from @hemanthmalla.bsky.social of how looping in #eBPF programs has evolved

Really cool performance improvements from the introduction of @cilium.io Endpoint Slices which reduces load on the #kubernetes API. Nice talk from @microsoft’s Tamilmani and Shreya at #CiliumCon

Don’t miss the #Cilium News Network at CiliumCon today! colocatedeventsna2025.sched.com/event/28F6G/...

Wifi at GWCC sucks for everyone or just me? #kubecon

Heading to #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon in Atlanta next week? Can't make it but want to stay in the loop? Either way, join @mauilion.dev next Friday for a comprehensive recap. eBPF & Cilium Office Hours 📆 Friday, November 14, 2pm E T 🎥 Livestream: www.youtube.com/live/vv0Ufq_...

eBee and I are on our way! See you at #kubecon

Packing for all seasons in Atlanta for #kubecon next week 🌧️🌡️🔆🥶

Seems I'm not the only one saying that #opensource is free like a puppy - an analogy I in turn got from @mauilion.dev 🐶

Just discovered, for the first time here on Bluesky, someone who has blocked me. I accidentally learned this because they interacted with someone I follow, and I was curious who they are. I wouldn’t have been surprised by this on the old place, but genuinely a bit put out! 😢

🏰 From Squire to Network Knight – Defending the #Kubernetes Castle the #CloudNative Way At Cloud Native University, Donia Chaiehloudj will explore how Cilium helps platform and security teams defend their Kubernetes “castle” 📅 Don’t miss it during KubeCon 🔗 buff.ly/3PRoc63

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term www.gov.uk/government/p...

🇧🇪 On my way to Brussels for The Linux Foundation Open Source Security Forum. Are you going? Let's say hello! events.linuxfoundation.org/european-ope... #OSSecurityForum

Related: telcos increasingly use“the cloud” (the internet) some of it being the public cloud like AWS. IDK how much that’s for data-only features, but I wonder how much voice traffic would also be affected in the event of a catastrophic global internet failure www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

V interesting. Includes link to this article with the striking idea that AI coding assistance might actually increase demand for programmers because they can be more efficient, just as invention of compilers did open.substack.com/pub/andreinf...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👋 I’m here! All set for my talk tomorrow about building businesses around open source cloud native projects. I can’t wave a magic wand to make your start-up successful, but I can share some mistakes I’ve seen (or made!) that you can learn from #KCD #kubernetes

Can’t help thinking that a foundation would give more people more confidence. And Qualcomm / Arduino could be leaders in that community, to keep building the developer love

Why buy fake followers, when fake followers come of their own volition - for example because they're taking the advice from these jokers to follow a whole bunch of starter packs, in the expectation that some of their members will follow you back 🙄

I have been surprised by the number of unsolicited emails we have received from people putting themselves forward as eBPF Hackathon judges (we already have plenty, thanks! No more needed!) Finally realised they want this as evidence of (internationally renowned) expertise, for visa applications

Enjoying this! Much better to watch the full thing than just the highlights that I occasionally catch over @philpearl.bsky.social ‘s shoulder when he watches on YouTube. Some channel should license proper #sumo coverage for UK viewers

You do have to put up with me talking about supply chain security, but I'm really blown away by the quality of speakers we have this year. Keynotes include @lizrice.com  @mt165.co.uk , @hannahfoxwell.net  @lianmakesthings.bsky.social , @mccune.org.uk  and @wiggitywhitney.bsky.social .
