glotzerhotze··on Helm 4.0
fluxCD brings a really nice helm-controller that will allow to change manifests via a postRenderers stub while still allowing to use regular helm tooling against the cluster.

glotzerhotze··on Bad Actors Are Grooming LLMs to Produce Falsehoods
Same here, people use it like google for searching answers. It‘s a shortcut for them to not have to screen results and reason about them.
glotzerhotze··on MPPP – The first 'designer drug' disaster (2023)
I heard that argument before. Legitimizing one‘s own drug abuse for „medical reasons“ to make it socially acceptable.

Everyone is on some kind of spectrum and both people I had arguments with about your point of view - are both dead now thanks to overdosing.

I think the medical profession has a reason to exist and I‘d rather see people using professionals to treat their conditions than self-experimenting with possible fatal substances.

glotzerhotze··on Comparing K3s with vanilla Kubernetes
you might be fooled by the meaning of the word „distribution“ in the kubernetes vs. linux context.

in the linux context, a distribution would be an opinionated build of user-land tools around the linux kernel which might also bring patches done to the kernel by the distributor.

in the (cloud) kubernetes context, a distribution would be an opinionated (cloud) implementation of core kubernetes binaries (EKS/AKS/etc.pp.) on top of a linux-distribution of your liking.

to my humble understanding k3s is a stripped down and optimized (IMHO opinionated) build of kubernetes binaries derived from the official source.

kubeadm is the official projects (opinionated?) idea of arriving at a vanilla cluster, leaving you with the freedom to make choices for lots of the needed components involved.

in the linux context, „linux from scratch“ would be an analogy I suppose.

more knowledgeable people should please correct me if I‘m wrong in my understanding here.

glotzerhotze··on DJ Turntables: Buying Guide by Vekked (2016)
Two 1200 Mk2 and a mixer - all you‘ll ever need to enjoy a good mix. Got my two babies an overhaul a few months ago - they still run like the first day 20+ years ago.
glotzerhotze··on The Lost Art of System Administration
It takes a while to get there - and a lot of discipline of those involved.

In an ideal world, you wouldn‘t need that. But most systems never matured to be considered being in an ideal state / world.
glotzerhotze··on The Problem with Slack at Scale
What does that tell about Atlassian?
glotzerhotze··on ProjectM – The most advanced open-source music visualizer
YES. I had to look twice to be sure this is the same project we used 20 years ago to throw visuals on a wall while having awesome parties! Back in the days I routed the audio from the dj-mixer into winamp to get this to work. Fun times! Thank you so much for those memories and big thumbs up for the maintainers of the project!
glotzerhotze··on Why not “Why not WireGuard?” (2020)
The main selling point imho is the ability to build multi-node-mesh-networks super easily with something like tailscale on top of wireguard.

I also think this is a total different use-case than the one you’d most likely find in the wild today: people looking to use a VPN for „privacy issues“

glotzerhotze··on EC2 Boot Time Benchmarking
I‘d be interested in the time being spent running user-data modifications, so benchmarking bootstrapping scripts would be possible.
