- Being a Discord Server admin of a popular non-gaming topic has gotten so bad in the last few years, with daily spammers and scammers getting through *even with the highest level of protection -> phone number verification* I'm thinking of moving any paid community off the platform
- Google ruined Nest (not a secret) and they keep giving me new reasons to leave. After 4 years of bugging me to migrate my Nest acct to a Google "personal" one, I had to create a Gmail, add a cc, buy a plan, migrate devices, and then Google promptly locked me out saying it's a bot account. Awesome
- we're liveeeeeeeee!

- My bank can't keep statements after a year, but Amazon still remembers what I purchased in 2000, including this banger. Only 1.8 stars? They must have hated the ending.

- RE: #kubecon flights at risk of cancellation... I mean, Europe has the KubeTrain. Why can't we have the East Coast KubeCaravan? @mehtaverse-hq.bsky.social @estesp.dev @sudo-bmitch.bsky.social @mikesir87.io
- Probably the silliest thing I've done at a conference, hosting a Price is Right style CVE guessing competition at #KubeCrawl with @chainguard.bsky.social and @adrianmouat.com #kubecon
- Live streaming work on *native* multi-platform #Docker builds via #GitHub Actions using @docker.com excellent GH Actions youtube.com/live/Hg1fyBJ...

- Speaking of Nine Inch Nails. If you've yet to experience the double-album The Fragile, it was a defining moment for electronic music in 1999. IMO an all-time top-10 album, and it still takes me back to the Y2K bug work we were rushing through when the album dropped open.spotify.com/album/4uiVwL...
- Tron: Aries was fantastic. IMAX 3D is perfection. NIN's still got the magic. That is all

- What's your wildcard localhost domain for dev? I use *.bret.lol and you're welcome to use it too. I've used many over the decades for localhost DNS resolution (without editing /etc/hosts) but many have shutdown so I made my own years ago and it costs $20/yr at cloudflare. Here's how you set one up:
- 🎙️ Just published podcast episode 188: Move K8s Stateful Pods Between Nodes

Sign up for my next #DevOps learning live stream, where @smalls.xyz and I are migrating real-world popular open-source #container images to @chainguard.dev container images to cut the #CVE count, hopefully to zero! Next Wednesday learn.bretfisher.com/chainguard-e...
- #Kubernetes pods can now be migrated across nodes in real-time without downtime, and I'm here for it. We're starting to see ideas from the community on how to make this work www.bretfisher.com/k8s-pod-live...

- Workshopping some late-night marketing ideas for my next course. WDYT?
