Enshittification comes for open source:
Slack is kicking two large open source groups, Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Kubernetes, off of their donated enterprise tier, giving them one week notice to migrate multiple years of data to a new platform before it's all deleted: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2025/06/16/cncf-slack-workspace-changes-coming-on-friday-june-20/

Instead of learning from this experience and not trusting the good will of profit-motivated closed source companies, it looks like both projects will be moving to ... Discord. Because "people know it." Will we never learn?

(Dropped Cory because he's probably getting tons of spam from this. Sorry!)

Any tips for maintaining #Vim muscle memory without replacing current apps/workflows? Just looking for some "on-the-side" practice for now

@paxswill @zrail I agree, don’t put SQLite on NFS. You can use local or block storage for the config/database, and separate NFS volumes for shared/bulk data

@zrail you might already be aware but you can also just mount existing NFS shares as volumes directly. Unless you need to set mount options or want it to be a dynamic volume, it could be a good option. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#nfs

I’ve been tossing around an idea for a game to hack together in #golang. Of course, it’s an educational game because I can’t just make something fun 😅

Every day is #caturday on Mastodon. It's basically my whole feed 24/7... and I'm not really mad about it 😅

@wonderofscience yeah that's looking very planety to me 😉

Just released https://registry.terraform.io/modules/bcbrookman/kubeadm-k8s/aws to provision #k8s clusters on #aws using #terraform. It's early, but I'm also planning on publishing some #kubestronaut practice labs that use it.

The #pi.e is a lie!

1. Book things early—especially workshops/events with limited space
2. Preview the schedule and make a basic itinerary
3. Prefer talks with case studies or unfamiliar topics
4. Be outgoing, talk to people, and ask questions
5. It’s okay to waste vendors’ time at booths
6. Don’t cut conversations short to attend talks—especially if talks are recorded

While attending #scale22x this weekend, someone asked me “what are you supposed to do at expos like this?” It caught me off guard at first, but it’s a very valid question. Tech conferences often have overwhelming menus of things to do and all the items are à la carte, so I thought I’d share some tips I’ve learned over the years.

This week, I finally played with #devcontainers for the first time. I ran into a bit of issue accessing networking but that’s probably a me issue. So far I’m a fan!

@dansup will there be a starter kit starter kit for starter kit memes? 😆

Five things I did last week? Sure:

1. First, I crushed it.
2. Then, I crushed it again.
3. Next, I continued crushing it.
4. I then took some time off for a medical situation that prevented me from crushing it to my usual standards.
5. But then, I resumed crushing full time.

@SwiftOnSecurity good points. Some traffic like DNS is often still unencrypted though and even with HTTPS, SNI can expose which sites you visit. If you can trust a VPN provider more than your ISP, they can still be valuable. However, I agree they aren’t the privacy silver bullet many advertise them to be.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore."
