Giant Swarm on tour at @containerdays.bsky.social London. @glitchcrab.bsky.social @salisburyheavyindustries.com @vxav.bsky.social and Antonia. <3

No imposter syndrome going on here, I know exactly what I'm doing.

Machine health checks in cluster-api is *chef kiss* From @glitchcrab.bsky.social talk at @containerdays.bsky.social London!

I’ll be speaking in the Lighthouse Theatre (T6) tomorrow morning!

@containerdays.bsky.social London X Giant Swarm 🎤 Our very own @glitchcrab.bsky.social, @vxav.bsky.social and Antonia will be on stage. Kubernetes at the edge. Cluster API in the wild.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Looks like I'm going to be speaking about Cluster API at @containerdays.bsky.social in London next February! 🥳

This months newsletter is now out! 🎉 ✨ October 2025 ✨ https://cloudnative.now/2025-october/

Ha det bra, Bergen. Until next time!

@cloudnativebergen.dev #cndb2025

It's a beautiful day here in Bergen for @cloudnativebergen.dev; excited to be speaking later about Cluster API 🥳

The @cloudnativebergen.dev organisers have absolutely outdone themselves with the speaker's dinner location 😍

Good morning from the top of Mt Fløyen!

Currently at the airport on my way to Bergen!

The recordings from @containerdays.bsky.social in Hamburg last month are out! I updated my blog post here with the recording bsky.app/profile/glit... Or you can watch it directly on YouTube youtu.be/sk5GZeE23w4?...

Featuring me, again 😍

Another post from yours truly; creating mock KubeEdge #edge nodes using #systemd and #nspawn containers: dickingwithdocker.com/posts/kubeed...

We are ready for Cloud Native Day Bergen, are you?! 🚀 2025.cloudnativebergen.dev/program

Time for another blog post! Last week I gave my first in-person talk at a conference since 2017 and I've written a little about the experience dickingwithdocker.com/posts/giving...

Still one of my favourite talks I've seen. Just the right amount of chaos.

My talk at @containerdays.bsky.social this week was on Kubernetes and post exploitation. I've had a couple of requests for a companion blog post, so here it is. The post looks at some things attackers might do in clusters they've compromised to retain access. raesene.github.io/blog/2025/09...

Tschüss, Hamburg! I had a great time at @containerdays.bsky.social

Cloud native satellites!!! 😮 @glitchcrab.bsky.social @giantswarm.io #CDS25

FIN.

We're having to move in with the in-laws for a bit, but the homelab lives on (albeit in a very condensed format) dickingwithdocker.com/posts/minima...

Well my talk got accepted so it looks like I'll be speaking at @cloudnativebergen.dev about Cluster API and how it helps you to manage cluster lifecycle 🥳 2025.cloudnativebergen.dev/speaker/simo...

The future is here; my bathroom scales just wished me happy birthday

Heard Kara Swisher tell a joke that Tech Bro is short for “technically broken” I can’t stop seeing the full version everywhere. 🤣

And it features some waffling from yours truly!

I wrote a little blog post about how I reworked the authentication flow for Kubernetes in my homelab: dickingwithdocker.com/posts/pinnip... #homelab #kubernetes #proxmox #clusterapi

Hey @octopus.energy, what's up with the change to Octoplus free drink codes recently? It's impossible to get one now (even if I check very early in the morning).

@ediri.de hey Engin, would you mind checking your DMs? I sent you the photos I took at Rejekts in London.

We've found a home labber in the wild! Hello from #KubeCon Kubernetes on Edge Day with @glitchcrab.bsky.social and @kimmcmahon.bsky.social :) Hope to see more of you tomorrow. 🎉

@rejekts.io is absolutely the fanciest tech conference by a country mile

The many faces of @averagemarcus.bsky.social when giving a talk (he’s not as angry as he looks, honest)

@averagemarcus.bsky.social dropping some knowledge you never knew you needed to know about Pods at @rejekts.io #rejekts #rejekts2025

The sun is shining here in #london for @rejekts.io #rejekts #rejekts2025

@salisburyheavyindustries.com sums up years of work in 30 minutes talking about live migrating hundreds of @giantswarm.io clusters to Cluster API at @rejekts.io 2025 in London

A few photos from my first day in Iceland

Today I remapped my escape and caps lock keys to swap them around; surely this means that I have achieved final hacker form?

My superpower seems to be identifying Airbnb properties on Google maps from just the photos.

Plot twist: What if complexity isn't the price of progress? Bare metal + K8s = Modern simplicity Sometimes less really is more.

Probably the best (and most chaotic) lightning talk I've ever seen, courtesy of @jamesl.bsky.social at @kcduk.bsky.social last year. Just a shame that you cannot hear the laughter from the audience! youtu.be/NAgxyyL-7LI?...

Quick question: does this count as professional development? (Files from: that time our annual onsite went full circus mode) 📸 @glitchcrab.bsky.social

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Currently deep cleaning my office to the nostalgic sounds of my favourite GTA3 radio stations: MSX FM: on.soundcloud.com/RmMdS3Gx51oe... Rise FM: on.soundcloud.com/SQsnkuFhHskz...

We read the article recommended by @glitchcrab.bsky.social. ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-... We recorded the podcast episode (even if only to be able to use this title). 😀 open.spotify.com/episode/3AJg...

Reason #77 why I love working at @giantswarm.io - I can just take a random Tuesday morning off to brush up on my skills. Someone remind me what a holiday allowance is again?

Are we posting this pic because we had a great time at #KCDUK? Yes. Are we also posting this pic because our t-shirt is perfectly captured? Also yes. 🎯
