4) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: However, it is true, as Balder says, that Loki (also in the sources) always takes on a lot of responsibility and tries to help. The Norse gods would have been really lost without him in some cases. In the series, Balder also thanks Loki for this. One contradiction to the sources is that Loki destroys the mistletoe weapon so that he can no longer kill Balder with it.

3) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: It's also interesting that Loki has horns in one sequence. That seems more like a Marvel thing to me; the sources don't depict Loki with horns. And Balder in the series loves meat, as we hear in several episodes. I would associate that more with Thor, if only because of Thrymskvida from the Poetic Edda. And I don't know this doubting, desperate Loki from the sources either.

2) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: In the series, this branch was reforged into a blade that Loki now wields. He would rather kill Balder with his own hands in order to prevent Ragnarok. This is contrary to the sources, in which Loki's actions lead directly to Ragnarok. In the series, too, everything is done to prevent destruction, but it is Loki who does everything in his power to prevent the worst from happening.

1) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: Loki wants to kill Balder, a necessity, not simply out of pure jealousy. Balder is also portrayed as the god of destruction, who will destroy absolutely everything. Yet another reinterpretation of the Norse sources. Apparently, the only thing left to do is to kill Balder. And hey, here we have the reference to the mistletoe branch from the Prose Edda, which never swore not to harm Balder.

Kamigami no Asobi, Episode 10: We have a clear reference here to Loki's involvement in Ragnarok (cf. Norse sources). During the play, he clearly states that he is planning a coup d'état. At the very end, he is teased that his hair resembles a tail. Is this a reference to prose edda? Here, Loki transforms himself into a mare (which is why I mention a tail), mates with the stallion Svadilfari, and gives birth to Sleipnir.

Kamigami no Asobi, episode 8 (2): Balder develops into a yandere and seems to suffer from his divinity, especially from the fact that many are attracted to him. Balder and Loki seem to be best friends, but what is the meaning of the episode's ending? Loki promises Thor that he will kill Balder with his own hands. Have we ended up back in the Old Norse sources? Let's see what episode 9 will bring.

Kamigami no Asobi, Episode 8: Loki, a character from Norse mythology, usually causes a lot of trouble. In the series he tries to avoid trouble and gives the advice. There are still a few pranks, but so far they have been harmless and in episode 6 they were even intended to help others. The series refers to Loki being a descendant of the Jötnar. However, in the sources he is an áss, even though his father Fárbauti is a Jötunn.

Day 88

I just added some additional data to my spreadsheet. Just in case ever argues that they fixed the miscredits weeks ago, I have now screenshots of each article with time & date.

Just dropped a quick guide on how to build better Kyverno alerts using Loki. 🔍

The main challenge was that Kyverno logs originate from its namespace, but I needed the alert to reflect the target namespace (where the policy violation actually occurred).

I used LogQL's label_format to rewrite namespace_extracted → namespace before aggregation to get actionable alerts.

Kamigami no Asobi Episode 7: Balder explains why he cannot be hurt, see Prose Edda. Thor is surprisingly calm. This does not correspond with the medieval sources. We also see a somewhat mischievous Loki, who deliberately misbehaves, but it also appears that he is simply jealous or wants to avoid upcoming difficulties.

Over at my blog (blog.hofstede.it), I value privacy. No 3rd-party analytics here!

I visualize logs myself without data ever leaving my infra: Caddy (JSON) -> Promtail -> Loki -> Grafana

Even ASN/GeoIP enrichment happens locally via MaxMind DBs in the pipeline. All running in a FreeBSD jail.

IPs are anonymized (last octet blanked) and logs wiped after 14 days. Total data sovereignty.

Kamigano no Asobi, episode 3: the gods discuss their food, and Loki doesn't really care. Yet he is a glutton. In Gylfagynning of the Prose Edda, Loki claims he can eat faster than anyone else. He competes against Logi, but loses. Logi represents fire and even consumes the trough that held the food. No wonder Loki loses. Maybe Loki doesn't care what he gets to eat in the series. The important thing is food.

Still stuck on Kamigami no Asobi: Balder is very clumsy and constantly falls over. However, nothing happens to him and even the forces of nature don't want to hurt him. This is clearly a reference to the Poetic Edda. Frigg makes all things swear not to harm Balder, except for a mistletoe branch, which Loki later uses to kill Balder. I'm curious to see if this will be picked up later in the series.

I had a book marketing plan, but fuck it. It felt forced, fake. The book is lyrical, romantic and may have a bit of wisdom about resilience and reinvention. I'm really proud of it. You can find it here:

Episode 2 of Kamigami no Asobi: Loki is referred to here as the god of fire; isn't the association of Loki with fire or flames rather outdated by now? His surname Lævateinn was taken from the poem Fjölsvinnsmál from the Poetic Edda and represents a weapon that Loki created. It's interesting to see where the creators of video games/series get their inspiration from.

🔴 Live now on the @grafana channel for the Grafana ❤️‍🔥 OpenTelemetry Community Call! This time we're talking about logging best practices. Logs are my favourite telemetry signal because they're the most versatile... but they're also the messiest. 😅 In this livestream, we're getting opinionated about how to write, ingest, query, and visualize logs.

Triển khai Grafana Loki đa thuê bao (multi-tenant) trên Kubernetes với Promtail và lưu trữ S3. Sử dụng SimpleScalable mode, phân tách log theo namespace qua `X-Scope-OrgID`. Promtail thu thập log từ từng node, gửi đến Loki qua gateway. Dữ liệu lưu trên S3 tương thích (Rook Ceph), sao lưu cục bộ với PVC. Tối ưu hiệu năng bằng WAL và cache. Phù hợp hệ thống giám sát log tập trung, scalable. #Loki #Kubernetes #Logging #Grafana #Promtail #Monitoring #MultiTenant #DevOps #LogAggregation #Loki #Kubern
