I think a big chunk of the "linux is hard" sentiment stems from the fact that most linux users do weird things with their computers. basically this:

Why is every interaction with TSA so varied? Sometimes folks are very helpful, but often I get frustrated and angry responses even when I follow their posted instructions. Agents get frustrated when I don't follow their ever-changing rules, despite receiving only glares and no instructions. Le Sigh

i've been cooking without love for 4 months and my family and friends have not noticed. some have even complimented the food... usually i've left the dishes emotionless but have experimented with adding ennui and occasionally acrimony

@proton.me Please will you please stop redesigning your app and just smooth the wrinkles instead? I think I've archived the same 5 emails 5 times between web and mobile, and they just keep coming back. Every redesign is a new set of pain points.

Yes please.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excited for #KubeCon | #CloudNativeCon in Tokyo, Japan next week, June 16-17! Our own @sudermanjr.bsky.social & Stevie Caldwell are presenting Addons Need Love Too: Maintaining Addons for Better Cluster Security. If you're there, say hi! Psyched to attend. kccncjpn2025.sched.com/event/1x713/...

Hey Tokyo. I'm here, and I'm tired.

I’ll be speaking at the first ever #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon Japan in Tokyo June 16-17 - will you? It’s a great opportunity to meet up with #TeamCloudNative and share ideas, discuss new solutions, and innovate together. Hope to see you there! Here's the Schedule: bit.ly/3FEJdQJ

If ISPs wanted to use DNS snooping for good, I bet they could use number of lookups across a region for fast.com abd speedtest.net as a great indicator for an outage. I bet it would be quicker than downdetector

Junior dev: I’m bummed by how little of the code I write will ever run in production Senior dev: I’m horrified by how much of the code I’ve written is still running in production

I really don’t understand how people don’t feel like assholes when listening to their music without headphones on public transportation.

Today's travel gets more wild. Airline says this flight is "weight restricted" so my backpack can't go in the overhead. I guess it magically weighs less when you put it under the seat?

My pre-scheduled ride share just cancelled because the place I'm at is on a dirt road. In the desert. It was a Ford explorer. 🤯

I've seen enough (2) videos of primate mothers greeting/raising other species' babies that my opinion (completely unqualified) is that instead of hand raising zoo animals, we should give the babies to chimps

Who wants to help me build a device that temporarily disables all phone speakers in a 50ft radius?

Never could bring myself to use stickers. Pins are reusable and now I can display them too. Much excite.

Yo, Etsy, if I verified my login with an email code, then sending me another email asking if I logged in from a new device is probably not helpful

Is it just acceptable/normal to use speakers in public now, or am I cursed?

My philosophy of getting to the airport early is slightly ruined when the plane is delayed 1.5 hrs

Ummm, yes please

Any of my favorite people at #GoogleCloudNext and want to have a quiet dinner at 7?

AI is coming out of my ears. Thanks #googleNext

Friends, I love you all, but it's weird to me that you wear your conference badges to dinner before the conference starts, or even at all for that matter.

Stoked to wear mine when my fresh piercings heal up, thanks!!!!!

And then we made the biggest mistake, and connected two of them together

Hey friends, I'm going to #kubecon in London in a few weeks. Would love to see some of you there! www.fairwinds.com/kubecon-eu-2...

Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our new tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them.

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build: 1. Heroku, except hand-rolled 2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence 3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith 4. A solution to the halting problem * Hyperbole. I hope

for your roadside observability needs

🚀 Stoked to be speaking at #KubeCon + CloudNativeCon! I can’t wait to dive into all things Kubernetes, #OpenSource, and cloud-native technology. Are you coming? events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-clou...

I will never understand using speakerphone in public. I do t even like people listening to my half of the conversation.

"Accomplishment is secondary to happiness" Words to live by from the Woz. ❤️❤️ @civonavigate.bsky.social

The one and only Steve Wozniak @civonavigate.bsky.social telling us about his HAM radio as a kid. Delightful.

@kelseyhightower.com joins @civo.com, advocating for private cloud in your data center. Run cloud-based #k8s on hardware you own. Interesting concept, what do y'all think?

Hey y'all, I'm at @civonavigate.bsky.social! Great to see all my favorite people in #cloudnative tech!

Normally, if you limit my password length to <20 characters, I try to find another site. Sadly, Equifax doesn't exactly have an "alternative" 😭

@dbrand.bsky.social makes some awesome stuff!

Power nerd couple quality time

Unboxing a framework laptop is definitely the coolest thing I've done this year so far

Hey folks, I know this has been said a lot before, but please please please, be kind to your #open-source maintainers

For years my Steam wishlist was 10 games from like 10 years ago that I only added because they were doing a giveaway based on your wishlist. I definitely don't own most of those at this point.

Goodbye Vegas, I shan't miss you

For fun I just used flox on my phone to install and run the temporal quickstart. I definitely need workflow execution in Go on my phone, and my battery loves it. Thanks @capileigh.bsky.social for the tips on getting flox on my Android.
