Instructions to install a laptop vinyl stuck on a fridge via magnets
Sometimes, when I've had a bad day, I like reminding myself to "not be too harsh and the pursuit of perfection". Some wisdom from a vinyl installation tutorial I got for an old laptop, that lives permanently on my fridge door now.
Hey, no offence to the folks at #KubeCon that were wearing all the badges from past editions on their lanyard. It's fucking effort and one should be proud. But, I've rewatched Office Space not long ago and the only thing I could think was "we need to talk about your flair"
Train connections are awesome, it feels you step out and you're there. However, I don't know why, but I find it one of the most confusing airports to navigate inside! It's like a shopping centre that never wants to leave
It's hard to believe who first thought sending messages on WhatsApp was a suitable form of communication for recruiters.
I have a joke about OTel, but folks don't always get the context

This illegal invasion of another country while its citizens sleep is a cynical act of American imperialism.
The fact that Venezuela has some of the world’s largest oil reserves makes this feel very familiar.
Greens stand against this contempt of international law.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

This popped up on my Tidal discovery for some reason! Currently listening to their Offspring's "The Kids Aren't Alright" rendition. I'm not a parent, but I know what I would be listening to if I was one!

Global config rollout that cannot be phased out for architectural reasons, unknown side-effects of changes in database permissions, retry backlog storm after service is restored... Well done to those involved in fixing it! 👏
Good readout (and impressively fast postmortem) of Cloudflare’s incident. It hits all the usual signs of a painful P1 of this scale…

Considering the travel disruption expected for folks travelling to Atlanta, here's an idea that #KubeCon NA could copy from KubeCon EU... Rotate countries in NA every other year! I mean, who doesn't like the sound of KubeCon Cancun?
Loving the thumbnail (randomly?) chosen for this recording from #KCD Edinburgh! "So, which signal should I use?" would've been a great title for this talk too, because that (plus giving logs the love they deserve) is what we tried to cover in less than 25 minutes 😄
