Agree (and I especially like Cilium), but I've also had a lot of joy with HAProxy via lxc's and it's VRRP protocol.
As always - it's all a matter of your stack and personal preferences.
eBPF for the win though.
When you lose your sense of smell it's called Anosmia.
(bad joke from the tv series Scrubs - but it's always how I remember it).
Statistically, most people after making tactile contact (or even close proximity) to someone (e.g. shaking hands, shoulder taps, hugs etc) will repeatedly make attempts to touch their nose..
Sounds a strange thing to mention but our sense of smell is underrated and very powerful in our brains and memory imo.
Two interesting insights..
The long way to a small angry planet - magical
I know you like book recommendations and feedback so I'll recommend 'The Measure'
Time is one resource that cannot be borrowed or bartered.
Spend it like it's the most precious thing you have, because it is.
This is exactly what gad feels like. Could also be a bit of pre-burnout behaviour.
Either way, you can tackle that feeling of overstimulation the same way by developing good sleep hygiene aligned to you circadian rhythm.
Happy to elaborate if anyone needs.
docker-slim?
Before everyone piles in.. let's just remember yaml was supposed to be human readable and flexible from the get go.

Shout out to fzf for fuzzy searching as well and it's rapid.
Not come across mosh before, having a peek now 👀
You should checkout Twingate as an alternative to Tailscale, great with k8s.
VSCode Remote Explorer is actually nice and convenient to drop right into where you need to be.
I mix vscode, nvim, vim, tmux, ssh config etc in my workflow.. whatever I need to do tbh.
You can call it laziness or you can call it efficiency - I don't mind.
I have a special vinyl reserved for this moment - probably 4-5 times a year.
Lights out, volume high, press play and dance like nobody's watching 🕺😄

You are one in a million.
Or worse.. Bastions!
Have you tried Twingate as an alternative to Tailscale?
I switched almost a year ago, but both are pretty decent options tbh.
Agree, being volatile and unpredictable that also brings in a new factor to whichever codebase I'm working on.
Test generation is imo probably one of the best ways of utilising llms whist implementing code.
Perhaps not unit level if you're strict tdd, but definitely integration tests.
Cursor seems to spread the context out as far as I can tell (via ChatGPT or Claude - with the latter being larger) so gave better project based results from my experience.
Same experience here, but also with all LLM's in general - you can push them to a point and then they collapse and start getting confused/hallucinating.
Ideally the ability to set rollback points in your code would probably improve this beyond editing previous queries.
I'm almost anti-ai assisted programming these days though - good for exploration and prototyping.
Can certainly make you more productive in the short term, but I never feel fully connected to any generated code I write and so it's definitely more error prone and harder to recall months later.
It's the choice of LLM per interaction that's more important and you can easily select each time, so that's nice.
ChatGPT and Claude seem to be the leaders atm and both have their strengths.
I've recently gone back to Copilot on both vscode and neovim and can recommend.
Code completion suggestions as well as inline chat in both editor and terminal.
Played with Cursor for a while but if you think the extensions on vscode are becoming bad then that's like the wild west.
Knowing you've solved a users pain point is that they become mute to talk about afterwards.
If you can also prove that through data then you've thoroughly understood domain, problem and solution.
It's not magic tho - good communication, experience and tight feedback loops.
Just published my second Grafana dashboard - rebuilding the example given within the #Longhorn docs.
First screenshot the old and second the new.

Sincere congratulations Sam, it's a joy to read everything you write.
You've set your own standard - never let that drop, always wonder.
So effing proud of you 🫶
Grafana would be my natural choice but if you've no CLI access then probably a no go unless you're provider has enabled if previously.
Simplest option is probably MySQL Workbench > Server > Dashboard (and possibly Performance Reports with the right grants).
Should be the default option imo
You're missing the best bit! 😊
Could have just lost it's non-stick coating but I've always found after it's clicked done, turn off at the plug and leaving for 15mins works for me.
Seems to give nicer rice as well.
Oh and always rinse your rice three times before hand to clean and remove starch.
