Emailing the open source maintainers for a project that keeps up with correcting for CVEs in dependencies causes those maintainers to do more work. If they already keep up, you need to do nothing. Please don't add paperwork to open source maintainers.

Built a website from scratch for the first time in years. Used AI this time. 1. No framework, all custom JS and CSS 2. There's less CSS and JS from when I use a framework 3. Built it much faster than I used to It was a great experience.

We have seen users reporting regressions in @helm.sh 3.18.0. We have triaged them and are actively working on fixes. I hope we have resolution asap.

Fleet, the project underpinning Ranchers CD system, might be the most scaleable #Kubernetes based gitops tool. In a recent post we looked at how we do measurements on it when looking for improvements. https://www.suse.com/c/rancher_blog/optimizing-rancher-continuous-delivery-with-benchmarks/

Went to fix what I thought was a bad switch only to discover a disconnected wiring harness. Such an easy fix. Feels good working on physical things after a day in front of a computer.

I'm amazed at the number of people who want to build solutions at scale as #Kubernetes API extensions. This is just not going to work.

Looking into either interfaces or Generics in #golang to solve a problem. This is going to be an interesting deep dive.

Did you know the automotive auxiliary power outlet (cigarette lighter) in cars can put out more power than the USB outlets usually do? With USB you often get 1a at 5v (even usb-c outlets). With the auxiliary outlet you often get much more.

I was wondering what the fastest way to concatenate strings in #golang was. Seems someone wrote benchmarks to test this ... https://dev.to/schadokar/the-fastest-way-to-concatenate-strings-in-golang-5mf

Today I was reminded what a pain it is to PGP sign with @helm.sh . I think we need to make some changes there for v4.

I really like the design aesthetic of the zoo.dev Staying on the site and watching what changes is slick.

Dependabot now supports @helm.sh. I'm pretty happy about this one. https://github.blog/changelog/2025-04-09-dependabot-version-updates-now-support-helm/

If I read this right, in the Trump case where a judge is ordering the restoring of web pages, it's partially due to a violation of the Paper Reduction Act (of 1980). The government has processes designed for paper from the time before the web existed applied to updates of things shared over the web

It looks like the UK has ordered Apple to put in a back door. I hope Apple fights this or takes iCloud out of the UK and I'm glad it's public knowledge this is happening. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/07/uk-government-orders-access-icloud/

When writing a CLI is better to do logging level with numbers or names... For example... -v= or --debug / --trace

Which #Linux distro is best for laptops when considering battery life, lid handling, different types of sleep, etc? Why? I realize this is an entirely loaded and color of the bike shed topic.

Uh oh, HR is following me on blue sky. 👋

One of the creators of YAML, Ingy Dot Net, has been working on YAMLScript to bring scripting to YAML. For those in the #Kubernetes ecosystem this should be interesting. Especially for people who like to code but spend a lot of time in YAML. Here's an example...

Cutting a release candidate for @helm.sh today. It's nice to see no known CVEs before kicking off that process in a few hours. #kubernetes

Interested in an introduction to Artifact Hub, the CNCF project to discover, analyze, and share cloud native artifacts (like Helm charts)? The KubeCon session is now up on YouTube. https://blog.artifacthub.io/blog/kubecon-na-24-video/

A whole lot of things I access via the browser (and pinned to my home screen) on mobile because companies want to stalk us far too much for my comfort. Meta wanting access to be able to log passwords and other sensitive things is icky, to me. Ref: https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple-slams-metas-numerous-interoperability-requests-2024-12-18/

v3.16.4 of @helm.sh is out. Get it at https://github.com/helm/helm/releases/tag/v3.16.4 This release only bumps a couple dependencies, one of this had a CVE. This release is a few days laters than normal because it was going to be skipped until a dependency had a CVE update. This releases deals with that. #Kubernetes
