Kubernetes isn't a scam. People don't just realize what it is, and what it brought to the world. What Kubernetes did to the world is to teach and bring Control System theory to the masses. With control system, you could run software at scale like never before. If you design your software in closed feedback loops, you can have, just like a machine, an ongoing stable system running for 7/24, that can self recover and steer itself.

People trying to use other orchestration systems, had to work and implement all of it themselves. And most of them didn't had proper primitives, so it was very brittle. With Kubernetes, you have /status, the reconciler/controller-runtime framework, requeues and CRD's. If you use all of these together, you can build a feedback loop, and apply control systems knowledge. And with Google's push, it became the winner.

There is a really nice book about it: "Designing Distributed Control Systems: A Pattern Language Approach". It's actually about machines, not software (like how to build proper big machines that can run 7/24). But if you read it, you immediately see how the patterns in the book described, are actually primitives used by Kubernetes ecosystem.

This is Spain today:

I cannot

docker pull postgres:18

because there's football games happening.

Yes, you read it well. This image is being served from @Cloudflare , which is apparently blocked massively during football games by mafia-managed @LaLiga

Ofc, VPN -> pull completed

🔥Breaking: NVIDIA just open-sourced the guardrails AI agents should have had from day one.

It’s called OpenShell. Announced at GTC yesterday.

Your coding agent currently has access to your terminal, files, AWS keys, and network.

OpenShell fixes that.

What it does:
- Filesystem locked at sandbox creation
- Network blocked by default.
- You whitelist what’s allowed
- API keys never touch the filesystem. Injected at runtime only
- Policies defined in simple YAML

One command to sandbox Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.

The architecture runs a full K3s cluster inside a single Docker container.
No separate Kubernetes install.

Adobe, Atlassian, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Salesforce are already integrating it.

Most teams solve agent security at the application layer.

OpenShell solves it at the infrastructure layer.

You're an imbecile.

This won't stop anything. The kids on social media don't have parents who actually "parent". All they're going to do is find a bypass or convince their parent (or some other adult) to allow them access to the social media platform.

You've just given large technology companies gold on a gold platter under the guise of helping children.

Thank you for destroying the privacy of people all across the European Union and doing nothing to protect the kids. This is excellent work. Bravo.

what you think matters in a career:

- working hard
- showing up early
- keeping a long-term view

what ACTUALLY matters:

- hopping on a quick call
- how many quick calls you hopped on
- how fast you were able to hop on a quick call

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

For fuck’s sake mate that FFmpeg admin absolutely humiliating those techie buffoons with their obnoxious voices, obsession with building/shipping fast & chasing YouTube clout is a real-life Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley
