Out of the technologies listed above, I particularly consider myself a expert in OpenShift and Kubernetes with several Yeats of professional experience.

jacksgt··on The Story behind Chef the Configuration Management Tool
Adam Gordon Bell interviews Adam Jacob - the original developer of the Configuration Management Tool "Chef" - and his journey of leading the company.
jacksgt··on Show HN: Homelab Monitoring Setup with Grafana
I think Loki is pretty much the easiest thing you can find (if you want it to be multi server, at least). Loki whole approach comes down to avoiding expensive indexing (compared to Elastic search et all.), and really on "grep" for searching instead.
jacksgt··on Chrome still hasn't changed its opinion about dropping JPEG XL support
I would really like to start converting some of my personal media and websites to use JPEG XL, but the momentum doesn't seem there yet - despite clear technical and practical benefits.
jacksgt··on Ask HN: Which tech podcasts would you recommend to a friend?
"CoRecursive: Coding Stories" (from Adam Gordon Bell) is one of the Podcasts I look forward to the most. Incredible high production value, yet very personal and down to earth.

Probably one of the best episodes is the interview with Andreas Kling, the author of Serenity OS

jacksgt··on A reason why Mac speakers sound better and louder than most
Off topic: it's such a breath of fresh air to read this content without 1) having to close half a dozen popups and 2) all in a single post and not painfully spread out across multiple messages.
jacksgt··on Go 1.20 released
> Go 1.20 supports collecting code coverage profiles for programs (applications and integration tests), as opposed to just unit tests. > To collect coverage data for a program, build it with go build's -cover flag,

This is absolutely awesome! I'm looking forward to trying this on some server binaries!

jacksgt··on Ask HN: What is your favorite Tech Podcasts these days?
I highly recommend CoRecursive - The Stories Behind The Code: https://corecursive.com/

Basically, the host (Adam Gordon Bell, himself a programmer) is interviewing other software developers about their career or the journey to a particular piece of software.

I found these two episodes particularly interesting: * Software Word Tour: https://corecursive.com/software-world-tour-with-son-luong-n... * The Untold Story of SQLite: https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/

jacksgt··on Safe deposit boxes aren’t safe (2019)

jacksgt··on Keyboard shortcuts for GNU Readline
Has anyone managed to get an RSS Feed from masteringemacs.org ?

jacksgt··on Show HN: Programmatically build and publish AWS Lambda layers defined in YAML
Recently at work, I wanted to standardize our workflow for building the layers used by our AWS Lambda functions.

First, I tried to hack together a shell script. While this solution offers the most flexibility, I quickly had to realize it does not scale well since you have to repeat a lot of code.

Instead, I wrote this simple tool in Python. It allows you to define the build steps for the layer in a YAML configuration files, along with features such as pattern exclusion.

More details about this tool available in the repo as well as in this blog post: https://blog.cubieserver.de/2020/lambda-layer-tool/

For now, the tool is quite simplistic, but if you have any ideas or feature requests, just let me know.
