xnxnon Framework's first desktop is a strange–but unique–mini ITX gaming PC

Patel mentioned in the announcement presentation that the device was originally developed with a very clear focus on high school students.

xnxnon GDScript – Custom scripting language to be used with the Godot game engine

The official GDScript language documentation is here:

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/g...

Registering gdscript.com and boasting about its search ranking is just gross.

xnxnon Slack is the opposite of organizational memory (2018)

Focus the chat input and press Cmd + Shift + Enter. Creating a "text snippet" in this way is not as nice as syntax highlighted fenced code blocks would be, but at least it's easier than uploading a file.

xnxnon Promotion of alternative social platforms policy

You're right. Here's a decade-old TechCrunch article about this:

xnxnon Show HN: Wavvy – web-based audio editor (Audacity port)

I'd like to politely challenge your assumption that accessibility concerns are relevant only to a "proportionally very small percentage of the population". It's a common myth in this space.

Disabled people represent between 10% and 20% of the world population, and that's not even including those who don't identify as disabled but would nevertheless benefit from more accessible technology. If you've ever adjusted the text size in your browser or enabled captions while watching media, this group includes you.

xnxnon Kubernetes ingress-nginx controller vulnerability

> You'd need get permissions for that.

I'm afraid not. HTTP GET on a collection endpoint (which is the operation represented by the list verb) returns the full object content.

xnxnon Tools to Run Kubernetes Locally

I agree with this. Also, have you seen the kcp project? Seems like a promising experiment.

xnxnon The most precious resource is agency

I just cut out avocado toast and now I'm well on my way to 150k!

xnxnon Spotify reportedly fighting with employees about hosting episodes of Joe Rogan

Why does he then use his own voice to breathlessly repeat debunked rumors about left-wing activists in Portland? You think he'll correct the record in the next episode?

xnxnon Godot Editor running in a web browser

If we're thinking of the same dangling Variant bug, a fix was backported to 3.2.2 (releasing soon): https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-3-2-2-bet...

xnxnon My blog is now generated by Google Docs

I recently learned (via Rich Harris's recent Svelte Society Day talk[1]) that the New York Times does something like this using a custom markup language called ArchieML[2].

Each of those "greys" are actually dithered 1-bit patterns

Here's that previous discussion, for the curious. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21802674

xnxnon KUI - hybrid command-line/UI development experience for cloud-native development

The parent comment is saying you can use `kubectl exec -it deploy/something` instead, and it will pick a pod for you. That landed in 1.15, IIRC.

xnxnon Kubernetes Journey – How to setup the HAProxy Cluster with high availability

ingress-nginx doesn't do readiness/liveness checks itself; the kubelet does[1].

If any of the containers in a Pod aren't ready, the endpoints controller[2] removes the Endpoint object corresponding to that Pod. ingress-nginx watches these Endpoints objects[3] to determine which Pods it should send traffic to.

Edit: As to your use case, I think you should remove the readiness probe from that one container you don't care about.

xnxnon Podman and Buildah for Docker Users

Huh. I think that Redhat's work here is a boon to the community. Docker was trying to become synonymous with containerization (they would have me say "dockerization"). We benefit from open specs and multiple implementations.

xnxnon Attacking Default Installs of Helm on Kubernetes

It would be unfair to put this post in that category. Helm is an unfortunately popular third-party add-on with insecure defaults.

xnxnon Cue – A language for defining, generating, and validating data

Gullible mass member here. What's better than Prometheus?

xnxnon Norweigan oil fund

Using the "US exports 3x as much oil as Norway" figure from the sibling comment, does that mean a comparable fund in the US could be $3000B, or $9k/person?

Still sounds like quite the missed opportunity.

xnxnon YouTube bans content “showing users how to bypass secure computer systems”

Having a lot of people in a space doesn't make it a "public space". These terms are well defined, and we should stick to them when discussing, or we'll all talk past each other.

YouTube is not even a "privately owned public space" because it isn't legally required to be open to the public.

If you believe video hosting is critical public infrastructure, nationalize it.

xnxnon An update on last week's customer shutdown incident

Counter-anecdote slash venting:

I recently logged into my long-dormant DO account to kick the tires on their now-GA managed Kubernetes service and to contribute some CPU cycles to a distributed computing project I'm interested in (not cryptocurrency, I swear).

I first requested and was approved for a droplet limit increase (to 25). I started 20 nodes, deployed my very CPU intensive workload, and 12 hours later my account was locked and my nodes all went NotReady.

I immediately replied to the abuse ticket explaining my usage. 4 days later, my account was unlocked and received the "allow high CPU" flag... but they billed me for the nodes as if they had been running that whole time. I asked for a credit (5 days ago) and they haven't replied yet. Probably a little busy over there right now.

So... I'm not too thrilled with DO. I get that cryptocurrency ruined everything, but this has been a frustrating experience and I'm glad I was only using it for a pet project.

xnxnon Emoji, part 6c: to infinity and beyond?

Flamebait.

xnxnon Moving from Heroku to Google Kubernetes Engine

One intriguing new development is the possibility of leveraging Helm's chart ecosystem and Kustomize's patching mechanism—see Replicated Ship or the Kustomize Generators and Transformers KEP.
