Distributions and Operating Systems

Mat Duggan ☛ Kubernetes as a Distro

=> ↺ Kubernetes as a Distro

I recently read this great piece by Timur Tukaev discussing how to approach the growing complexity of Kubernetes. You can read it here. Basically as Kubernetes continues to expand to be the everything platform, the amount of functionality it contains is taking longer and longer to learn.

BSD

TuMFatig ☛ Cruising a VPS at OpenBSD Amsterdam

=> ↺ Cruising a VPS at OpenBSD Amsterdam

When it comes to getting an OpenBSD virtual machine, you can go to your preferred Linux VPS provider and hack its rescue mode to install OpenBSD. Or you can go to a VPS provider that offers booting from an ISO file and getting access to the console. In that case, you’d probably get an OpenBSD VM running on KVM. Which is not that bad.
But you can also book your VM from OpenBSD Amsterdam and let the 100% OpenBSD journey begin.

OpenMandriva

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” – Upton Sinclair As the calendar turns over and the world takes its first stumbling steps into 2025, one prediction seems safe: there will be a controversy associated with open source licensing.

Programming/Development

Perl / Raku

=> ↺ Raku Weekly 2025.01 Happy 𝚺 (^10)»³

The number 2025 has quite a few numeric properties, as Anton Antonov shows in their already second blog post this year! The first being “Doomsday clock parsing and plotting” (/r/rakulang comments). What a way to start the year!
