@vxav.bsky.social and Antonia stitched together a Kubernetes cluster from two different hypervisors. It worked. It was also a terrible idea. 🤠 They're sharing what they learned at @cnsmunich.bsky.social — and how Kamaji let them solve the same problem without the custom glue.

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

This is so true, plus many more from Asia and other places have an easier time coming here

I am having so much fun. Kubecon EU > Kubecon NA. Specifically for my work, it’s bc most of the maintainers are based in the EU, so they can all come.

if you're running one of the half of all Kubernetes clusters that's still running Ingress NGINX (I *really* hope that figure has changed already!) then this is the month to get off what @tabbysable.bsky.social memorably describes as a neverending vulnerability piñata because it's officially retiring

thestack.technologyNGINX: what happened and where should companies turn next"There is no number of maintainers of dedicated engineers that can safely and sanely keep Ingress NGINX online."

Next step for all the TUIs out there 😜

Wait... is this in the terminal?? 🤯 🐢 tortuise — Render 3D scenes using pure terminal symbols 🌀 Fully parallelized, 6 render modes, full camera controls & no GPU needed 🦀 Written in Rust & inspired by @ratatui.rs ⭐ GitHub: github.com/buildoak/tor... #rustlang #ratatui #rendering #graphics

Is the Macbook Neo going to get more people to switch to Mac? Yes! Is it worth the price? No! For 100 bucks more you get an M4 Air right now which is better in all but one way: Color options So yes, this is going to be the back-to-school champion this year just for color alone 😅

I worked on a few fairly prominent efforts in open source (Istio, OpenAPI), but I think of all of them, it’s gRPC that I think has the coolest story. Pull up a chair and set for a spell (any inaccuracies in what follows are 100% my fault for having a bad memory!).

Our team wants to make getting started with MCP Apps as easy as possible, so we put every resource imaginable in our GitHub repo. All here ⮡ github.com/modelcontext... If you're building with MCP Apps, I would love to hear your feedback - how can we make this a smoother process?

Even I find the flood of Claude Code posts in the AI social media space deafening. They’re crowding out other conversations.

I was laid off last week. I'm excited to start a new chapter where I can put my knowledge and dedication to work. I believe every chapter closes to make room for something more rewarding. I'm keen to discover the next opportunity. Learn more: www.linkedin.com/pos... #OpenToWork

linkedin.comChris Short Résumé | Chris ShortI'm looking for a new role! With 30 years in the industry, I'm excited to start a new chapter. I believe every ending creates space for something more rewarding. I love taking intricate technical concepts and making them click for people. Whether through content, community work, or strategic enablement, my best days are when I help practitioners understand powerful tools and drive adoption. What I Bring My career bridges deep technical capability with clear communication: Content That Drives Adoption: I've created 700+ hours of video content and maintain newsletters reaching 6,300+ subscribers (DevOps'ish, EKS.news). I've given countless talks that translate complexity into clarity, driving revenue and reducing support load. Community Impact: As a former CNCF Ambassador and current Kubernetes Contributor Comms co-lead, I led communications for the K8s registry migration, achieving zero downtime globally. I've onboarded dozens of contributors and helped shape how we discuss cloud native tech. Shipping Big Things: I led the AWS re:Invent 2023 Kubernetes track with 50+ speakers and 30+ sessions, improving CSAT scores. I drove Valkey's developer engagement strategy—it's now the de facto Redis fork worldwide. I organized and hosted GitOpsCon EU 2021 with 300+ attendees, making it a top 2 KubeCon Day 0 event. Earlier in my career, I led a $1M AWS cloud migration with measurable savings. Technical Depth: I bring 30 years across IT ops, DevOps, the Kubernetes/CNCF ecosystem, open source tooling (Linux/Ansible), multi-cloud environments, and container technologies. Bonus: I'm now AI-enabled. What I'm Looking For Roles where technical experience meets storytelling. Three must-haves: customer-facing, cloud-native, and storytelling-heavy. Developer Advocate, Technical Marketing Manager, and Product Marketing Manager roles fit perfectly. Solutions Architect positions could work if they involve customer-facing technical communication and enablement. I'm especially interested in companies building cloud native tools or Kubernetes-based platforms—that's my playground. The Remote Piece I need remote work as a disabled veteran managing nerve/spine damage, PTSD, and anxiety. My Detroit care team keeps me going. I'm near a major Delta hub and have done same-day international trips when needed. Remote doesn't mean unavailable—I'm committed to being responsive and engaged. Let's Connect After three decades, I know my value: I make complex tech accessible, build communities around products, and drive adoption through authentic technical storytelling. I'm available now for full-time roles; contract work could also fit. If you're building something great and need someone who translates technical depth into business impact, let's talk. Contact: https://lnkd.in/g-CbGNdT Resume: https://lnkd.in/gzdjdQxB Here's to embracing new chapters and exciting challenges ahead.
