  • I have a kubernetes cluster inside of Proxmox vm’s, generally I write a deployment, commit it to a git repo and then use argocd to deploy it in the cluster.

    This is not something I would advise to anyone but the clinically insane, but for me there is a certain zen in having everything in git like that. It’s for me the only way I can manage the 60ish applications I run without it having a permanent spot in my brain.


  • look, if it happens once, it’s a glitch, twice it’s a problem, thrice it’s a pattern and only on the fourth time I’ll start calling it a bug and fix it.

    Hopefully at the fourth time you’ll also have some sort of steps to reproduce, so you better get that written down too!

    • hit the button
    • get coffee
    • chat with colleagues
    • login
    • get coffee

    The biggest bump in computer performance in history wasn’t getting more memory or a faster CPU, it was switching from a HDD to a SSD.
