Another rant.

Santa can keep the toys… What we really want for Christmas: people before algorithms.

> The art isn't the art. The art is never the art. The art is the feeling inside of you while you make it. Taken from @noboilerplate.namtao.com.ap.brid.gy -> youtu.be/bJQj1uKtnus?... Anyway go read that whole thread it's excellent

The answer was not the point. The answer was never the point. The process of searching is the process of learning.

For a great introductory overview of what open social means and how atproto works I'd recommend checking out @danabra.mov's writeup, "Open Social"! overreacted.io/open-social/

Thinking about a flashcard based language learning app on the at-protocol

Is anyone building a language learning app on the atprotocol already? 🤔

Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team joins @rabble.nz to discuss what it takes to run decentralized social media at scale. In this ep: - How @bsky.app grew to 40M+ users with a tiny team - What makes the AT Protocol different - Why the right to exit matters for social media Watch now: youtu.be/p0O4dRi7nPs

Huh. Atproto docker publishing. atcr.io

Count me in

TIL that money can "expire" on OpenAI - I put 5$ last year while developing some small app that sends like 5 requests to it per month, I was expecting that to last an eternity - but now I found that 90% of it just expired away.

Witnessed a person without ad-blocker trying to use the web, I think I need therapy now. And a hug.

A week ago I got myself a Boox Go Color 7 e-reader and retired my Kindle. Very happy with it thus far, only the typing experience is worse but other than that it's equal or better and running android rather than being locked into the kindle ecosystem is such a huge win.

Now that I have been thinking about this more, it actually seems nicer to split this into two and create cli `tfapply` that handle the interactive plan review and then wrap this in the Neovim plugin. Therefore I now created: tangled.org/mariuskimmin...

What are y'all using for sql clients these days? DBeaver feels sluggish and is a real pain when you move it between Monitors with different scaling settings. All the cool projects in this area, like lazysql, declare themselves in alpha state. :(

Trying out @tangled.org today, love how clean the interface is tangled.org/mariuskimmin...

Getting to take care of this cutie for the next week 🥰

My terraform (opentofu) plugin is shaping up nicely Being able to go over all the resources and checking them off as "reviewed" one by one is working even better than I initially thought Supporting workspaces will be up next github.com/mariuskimmin...

I started playing around with making interactive apply & review workflows and this actually works surprisingly well so far github.com/mariuskimmin... The UI is already quite slow tho even on a small apply - far from great and I don't recommend anyone to use it for production workloads yet.

Having an idea for a Neovim plugin that would actually make my life so much easier - in a Terraform codebase to be able to * apply the resource under the cursor * apply all resources in the current file * mark resources to be applied I know excessive use of `--target` isn't ideal but ....

Setting up wireguard vpn 1. It doesn't work 2. try a bunch of things to fix it 3. it doesn't work 4. suddenly it starts working 5. I have no idea what actually fixed it

ansibling a lot on this Saturday morning

"Postgresus" is just peak project naming (and it also seems really awesome) github.com/RostislavDug...

Wanting to do a quick backup of my /home dir - taking forever to because of `.cache/spotify` ...

I want to have better evening activities, go for more walks, put the standing desk up, read, journal, stretching, meditation, these kind of things. It's hard tho, been giving in to too much mindless crap lately.

Considering doing a marathon next year - is this this the "getting old" thing people talk about?

The recording of my talk "From Spot Ocean to Karpenter - One Year Later" is now available: youtu.be/mXXQZ1BlI2g?...

Hi friends, so I have been working on setting up a self-managed Kubernetes Cluster on Hetzner as learning experience, I have been working with Kubernetes for a while now but never had to setup the network from the ground up Does this approach seem reasonable? www.reddit.com/r/hetzner/co...

I'll be at SREday Amsterdam this Friday, if you are there come and say hi - it's free to attend!

Looking for a great office chair for tall people (202) - any recommendations?

Looking into Nix for like the 5th time 👀

Today I learned that if you run ``` docker compose restart ``` after you changed your docker-compose.yml file, it won't use your new configuration, instead you need to ``` docker compose down docker compose up -d ``` caused me a bit of a headache this morning. docs.docker.com/reference/cl...

I have been running a project recently on Hetzner, just Linux servers, no Kubernetes, no AWS manged servers. Created the servers via Terraform and then used Ansible for configuration management, basically rediscovering how people where doing stuff before k8s.

A good day to troubleshoot wireguard setups

So I was gonna start working on a Kubernetes operator and did the scaffolding with kubebuilder. After 4 commands, 1 Kubebuilder init and 3 kubebuilder create api, I now have 70 files containing 4200 lines of code - damn that's a lot of boilerplate.

Once you start publishing post mortems you know that your homelab has come too far

kubernetes memory requests and limits are actually quite confusing with a lot of contradictory advice floating around - also the whole cgroups v1 vs v2 thing - I've gotta set up my own experiments to get to the bottom of this I guess

I have been a bit silent on Bluesky, it didn't feel like I was finding the kind of conversations that I was looking for but now I started taking some time to setup proper feeds instead of just looking at "Following" and it does wonders - I guess as a result I will also start posting more often again

I have been fully convinced on LazyGit

when you were confident in your terraform apply but then reality hit you

The AUR package of the German id application is maintained by "misery" - that seems about right ...

Going to tryout kube-hetzner today to setup a cheap mutli-node cluster to play around with github.com/kube-hetzner...

Just done watching @t3.gg bashing on Firefox and personally, most of his points don't matter all that much too me but what keeps me on Firefox are * proper ad-block with ublock * multi-account containers (managing multipe AWS accounts on chrome is actually unbearable)

Excellent news! If you do nothing different, your AWS bill will be 10% lower for February than January. No need to thank me, it’s what I do.

Oh: “There’s a subreddit where people post pictures of their poo, and I would sooner look at that than Jira.”

The urge to give nix/nixos another shot ...

Anyone ever ended up knowing a person "who you might know" on Instagram?
