Coding with AI and Coding for AI. They are different but sometimes the language gets mixed up. On this weeks episode of the software madhouse with Robert Sirchia we pick apart these two pieces of the puzzle. softwaremadhouse.com/episodes/epi...

v3.18.6 of @helm.sh is out. Last weeks security release contained a regression that's impacting some users. This release fixes that regression. More detail at github.com/helm/helm/re...

v3.18.2 of @helm.sh is out. This fixes the last of the known regressions from the 3.18.0 release. If you are aware of any more issues, please file them. #Kubernetes github.com/helm/helm/re...

Built a website from scratch for the first time in years. Used AI this time. 1. No framework, all custom JS and CSS 2. There's less CSS and JS from when I use a framework 3. Built it much faster than I used to It was a great experience.

New release of @helm.sh mapkubeapis plugin is out. github.com/helm/helm-ma...

We have seen users reporting regressions in @helm.sh 3.18.0. We have triaged them and are actively working on fixes. I hope we have resolution asap.

Fleet, the project underpinning Ranchers CD system, might be the most scaleable #Kubernetes based gitops tool. In a recent post we looked at how we do measurements on it when looking for improvements. www.suse.com/c/rancher_bl...

Went to fix what I thought was a bad switch only to discover a disconnected wiring harness. Such an easy fix. Feels good working on physical things after a day in front of a computer.

I'm amazed at the number of people who want to build solutions at scale as #Kubernetes API extensions. This is just not going to work.

Looking into either interfaces or Generics in #golang to solve a problem. This is going to be an interesting deep dive.

Did you know the automotive auxiliary power outlet (cigarette lighter) in cars can put out more power than the USB outlets usually do? With USB you often get 1a at 5v (even usb-c outlets). With the auxiliary outlet you often get much more.

Did you miss last week’s release of Helm v3.17.3? 🔐Check out the notes in this security patch release: github.com/helm/helm/re...

I was wondering what the fastest way to concatenate strings in #golang was. Seems someone wrote benchmarks to test this ... dev.to/schadokar/th...

Today I was reminded what a pain it is to PGP sign with @helm.sh . I think we need to make some changes there for v4.

I really like the design aesthetic of the zoo.dev Staying on the site and watching what changes is slick.

Dependabot now supports @helm.sh. I'm pretty happy about this one. github.blog/changelog/20...

Today I talk about how we strive for a distroless approach with projectbluefin.io www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7h0...

It looks like the UK has ordered Apple to put in a back door. I hope Apple fights this or takes iCloud out of the UK and I'm glad it's public knowledge this is happening. www.macrumors.com/2025/02/07/u...

When writing a CLI is better to do logging level with numbers or names... For example... -v=<log level number> or --debug / --trace

Which #Linux distro is best for laptops when considering battery life, lid handling, different types of sleep, etc? Why? I realize this is an entirely loaded and color of the bike shed topic.

Uh oh, HR is following me on blue sky. 👋

Cutting a release candidate for @helm.sh today. It's nice to see no known CVEs before kicking off that process in a few hours. #kubernetes

Interested in an introduction to Artifact Hub, the CNCF project to discover, analyze, and share cloud native artifacts (like Helm charts)? The KubeCon session is now up on YouTube. blog.artifacthub.io/blog/kubecon...

A whole lot of things I access via the browser (and pinned to my home screen) on mobile because companies want to stalk us far too much for my comfort. Meta wanting access to be able to log passwords and other sensitive things is icky, to me. Ref: www.reuters.com/technology/a...

Jim Carrey is so good as the Grinch, I can’t imagine another live action film with the Grinch.

All I want for Christmas is... An asciidoc editor that's as good as the markdown ones.

Did you know you that you can run Go 1.24rc1 (or any other version) by just setting an environment variable? $ GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.24rc1 go version go: downloading go1.24rc1 (darwin/arm64) go version go1.24rc1 darwin/arm64 This is supported since Go 1.21 (August 2023). go.dev/doc/toolchain

v3.16.4 of @helm.sh is out. Get it at github.com/helm/helm/re... This release only bumps a couple dependencies, one of this had a CVE. This release is a few days laters than normal because it was going to be skipped until a dependency had a CVE update. This releases deals with that. #Kubernetes

It’s cheesy and fun to decorate gingerbread houses while baking cookies and watching Christmas vacation. But, ‘tis the season

Kid in my town ... still in coma since Thanksgiving day football game! 😢 🥹 www.gofundme.com/f/help-rohan...

5.75 hours of meetings to start the work day is rough. I don't know how people do this every day.

🛎️ If you want to join us for Helm v4 discussions, join us this tomorrow (Thur) for our hour long kickoff at 12pm ET / 9am PT! Details & agenda here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... Please help spread the word 🙏 see you there!

Happy Thanksgiving

I keep getting asking about the same problem areas with SemVer. So, I wrote something about them. Do you ever encounter these gotchas? codeengineered.com/blog/2024/co...

Cut a new release of Masterminds/semver that fixes some parsing edge cases. Regular expressions is a fun way to spend part of SUSE hack week. #golang github.com/Masterminds/...

Considering a major update to github.com/Masterminds/semver ... if @helm.sh is getting a major update than maybe it's time to update the semver package it uses, too.

Updating seldom touched complex regular expressions is no fun. No fun at all.

This cycle I worked closely with the helm.sh maintainers as they charted a course from helm3 to 4. This is the year to get involved. They did a live release on the show floor of #kubecon today. Didn't even realize they did it from a Framework 13 running projectbluefin.io. Nice.

🎉 To kick off the day at #KubeCon, our CEO, Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen, took the main stage and delivered a keynote on “Open Source-powered Cloud Native Creates the Future”. 🚀 DP shared why he believes that open, community-based standards on Kubernetes are the way to go for innovations in #AI and #edge.

If you're at #kubecon and rock a Framework laptop like I do drop by for our group photo today at the Project Pavilion, 1pm during lunch. Come check out the bootc-powered projectbluefin.io on a Framework 13. A cloud native desktop for us by us. I have swag. 😈 community.frame.work/t/linux-comm...

SUSE Rancher Day has keynotes from the CEO and 3 business heads. People got to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. #KubeCon

Let’s hope Kubecon goes well
