I've been trying to write some Rust to interact with Kubernetes through kube-rs. It's in times like these that I'm grateful not to be a dev by profession.
But also I regret learning Python first because it makes learning Rust so much harder.

@geerlingguy Never in a million years would I have expected Pewdiepie to pivot to Linux and tech content.

@vilmibm pretty server :P
what's in it?

@PaulaToThePeople Oh, thank you. I'll give it a try :)

@PaulaToThePeople True, I get what you mean. But if I were to never have to use any other part of the internet again, the interoperability of the different instances would have to be better.
The alternative is concentrating the existing Fedi userbase onto larger instances, which ruins the whole decentralisation concept.

@PaulaToThePeople Better integration with small instances. If I follow a hashtag, chances are I'll never see anything from the other instances I haven't federated with. It's a stupid limitation imo

@jana i agree with the neobot

@jana tbh on Fedi, not so much. But out there, people are cheering on SO dying because they had bad experiences.
And also the AI evangelists who are in love with the idea of corporations monopolising the internet.

I blame Google and these AI for the internet being shit nowadays.

It's why having question boards and forums cannot be replaced by a Discord server. You have made your information less searchable and harder to find.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I prefer that OpenAI or Google or whoever else does not monopolise information behind a fancy autocomplete on shrooms.

Controversial opinion but I think it's bad that SO is dying. Despite being a pretty awful place for beginners and more hostile than ChatGPT, SO is searchable and indexable and the content on there is available to everyone.

Having knowledge locked behind an AI makes it much more inaccessible and harder to get to.

Here's all of them on the magnetic paper before cutting. Only downside is that complex stickers, like the traefik one, take a lot of time and patience

@pieceofthepie
Yep exactly! I woulda put them on my laptop but I don't want to lose them when I inevitably buy a new thinkpad.

So now they're fridge magnets and can be put wherever. I'll put up a sheet of metal in my room where I can put the duplicates.

The solution to my commitment issues 😂

@Marcus
Well spotted! Those are the 2024 stickers. I have one of the Giant Swarm 2025 stickers but I haven't gotten round to cutting it out yet 😆

I added another batch of fridge magnets made from KubeCon stickers!

And I'm running out of space :P

@jana awwww another time then XD
Wasn't thinking in the context of my talk, but I think you'd enjoy the OpenSUSE community

@jana
It was, thank you :)

Any chance I can convince you to come to the OpenSUSE Conference in Nuremberg?

@jana
Eyy, not false. Funny how it got this far from trying to define a modern sysadmin XD

@jana
It sounds like a lot of fun! I hope to do something as "thorough" as that at some point in the future :)

@jana
Yup, like ingresses for example. You're not setting up an nginx reverse proxy and putting all the rules and the stuff traditional sysadmins have to do.
With everything on Kubernetes directly, you'll still use the same concepts but encapsulated by all the applications/utilities on the cloud native landscape.

Also, sounds like a really cool colleague :P
