@cloudlandfestival.bsky.social is around the corner, just a few more weeks.

If you are looking for a cool cloud native community event, this is for you. Workshops, Talks and in between the rollercoaster track ;)

On my way to @linuxtage.bsky.social - I got a big bag of cncf stickers in my backpack. If you want some, just talk to the strawhat guy ;)

The worst part of being laid off so far, was the uncertainty, what's next, when, how, etc.

Somehow this is a new level of discomfort for me. Externally induced, but I already feel like I am learning something.

And to be honest - the community (everywhere), is amazingly supportive. Thank you all!

Amsterdam, we're coming for you. 📦🚂

latest runs with some optimisations - green is the controller manager service, blue the game logic - running with 19 controllers at 60hz

Currently i made it work with 32 controllers, but just at home alone, without any players. 4 controllers are at my co-speaker.

here is the repo, and some screenshots from the observability - github.com/WatchMeJoust...

Let's see how well my solution scales in the end. #joustmania with roughly 30 controllers, goal is still 42, but who owns or needs that many ps move controllers

What started as “let’s add some OpenTelemetry to a Python game” for my talk…
…turned into a microservice refactor, clear service boundaries, and CI/CD everywhere.

AI-assisted dev speed was wild. Dashboards, traces & metrics weren’t just visibility - they fueled the refactoring. Massive learnings 🤯

OpenFeature | Technology Radar | Thoughtworks As businesses scale, feature flag management often becomes increasingly complex; teams need an abstraction layer that goes beyond the simplest possible feature toggle. OpenFeature provides [...]

www.thoughtworks.com/radar/platfo... - wow @openfeature.dev made it onto the tech radar

I never followed up on the progress, so here are the pictures after each evening. It is a success and fun to build ;)

Day 1 of #DevoxxMorocco is starting soon ⌛️ and what's a better way to get things going than a early morning run 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃with couple speakers 🙌

Let's get this day going 💪🇲🇦🙌

#DevoxxMA #DevoxxMA25

Heading to my last conference gig this year.

Looking forward to #devoxxma - a day full of travels, but worth it.

Sharing some @openfeature.dev joy 😹😹

Short morning run @ #JavaCro - I should not drink alcohol the day before running - I am getting old. - the end felt really hard, although it was just 3k

Sidenote my route is Graz (in 30min)-> Klagenfurt (pick-up) -> Ljubljana -> Rovinj... If somebody needs a ride ;) let me know! Still space in the car ;)

On my way to #javaCro - 6 hours Roadtrip ahead!

As I am not used to driving that long, this will be interesting ;)

Wow, seems like I am CNCF Ambassador now!! 🎉🥳

Wir sehen bei der kleinen (8) große Fortschritte, wenn Couchsurfer da sind, kann sie zwar nicht reden aber verstehen.

Alles mit Maß und Ziel, ich kanns auch mit Sport übertreiben, streaks, etc. haben wir am Anfang gekonnt ausgeklammert und es war nur auf den Eltern Geräten installiert

Agreed, aber Duolingo mit seiner gamification hat gerade bei unseren Kids gut funktioniert. Ziel hier ist dabei nicht der Sprachgebrauch sondern der Aufbau für die Mittelschule. Für mich war der wechsel damals sehr hart, aber mit ein bisschen Duolingo ist es für die Kids leichter (gefühlt).

#JUnit 6.0.0 is released!

if this whole coding thing will not work out, I am gonna be a YouTube Star 😆😆😆😅https://youtube.com/shorts/cu2GPOWfZNo

Nothing better than starting the day with a pre conference walk. So far @socrates-conference.at has been a blast. One more day to go #Hype

#SoCraTesAT starts in 2 days! What exactly are you looking forward to? Tell us 👇

P.S.: We are keeping the ticket sale open until the conference starts, in case you want to come on short notice: socrates-conference.at

The next edition of Hack.Commit.Push Switzerland🇨🇭will take place in Rotkreuz LU this November 22nd. Care to join us for some Open Source hacking? It’s for a good cause!

Seems like i am going to @socrates-conference.at - now I am curious is there anybody in graz who wants to carpool? train from linz to graz is just really akward. :)

So the night train adventure starts...

Sidenote: that's what you get for traveling by night train to most conferences -> kids who also want to ride the night train. To be honest I am really looking forward to this adventure with the kids.

Some tools force you to learn a complicated API and require constant maintenance.

Other tools... just work, and that's why it's easy to overlook them.

@openfeature.dev is one of those tools.

Do I use it daily? Yes.
Do I ever have to think about it? No.

That was the whole trip from the karnischen Höhenweg we did.

We had to skip the last down climb. My knee did not want to do that anymore.

Time to recharge... Or something like that. My body does not feel recharged ;)

Hiking for three days ~55 km and ~3500m elevation

Short morning run, before @cloudlandfestival.bsky.social continues. Today is presentation day, and I am looking forward to presenting on this fancy stage
