Colors • Pico CSS Pico comes with 380 manually crafted colors to help you personalize your brand design system. Pico CSS · picocss.com [1] A great alternative to tailwind colors that has everything defined in one colors file for only 0.3kb. it feels well worth the weight if you are trying to skip a build step or avoid npm/node. It has even more colors than tailwind. I appreciate that there is a grey palette that is fully desaturated. References: [1]: https://picocss.com/docs/colors

How To Build The Tallest Building In Town There are two ways you can build the tallest building in town. Once you understand this, things get really good. Gary Vaynerchuk · garyvaynerchuk.com [1] Have some positivity! “Just Build the Tallest Fucking Building” is one of my favorite Gary Vee quotes. Build good community, bring others up, and stop tearing everyone down, listen to the vid. References: [1]: https://garyvaynerchuk.com/build-the-tallest-building-in-town/

External Link meetgor.com [1] Yes, I can review the code and make changes, but who in the world loves reviewing code? Do you love reviewing peers’ PRs? really? I’m with MeetGor here 100%. reviewing the nuance, not being as involved with the process of creating the architecture design, not solving the problems that arise in development make it hard to effectively review and not turn into LGTM man.

External Link meetgor.com [1] Sometimes, all you need is a mindset shift, a blocker in your mind that holds you back from doing certain things. And for me, I have consumed enough tutorials and posts about Kubernetes, that I need to put to use and create. I have been stuck in the learning cycle, lets push to prod with kubernetes. This hurts. I know others with this learning style that need to see the full picture before actually doing something with new tech. The way I first got into kubernetes I was looking for the easy route and somehow k8s came up several times as a suggested route Looking for a Heroku replacement, What I found was shocking! [2], So I dove in head first with k3s [3] and kompose [4]. What I found was that it was not all that hard once you start to see how the pieces fit together, no amount of reading tutorials would have gotten me there. Does anyone care if you use simple yet fragile bash scripts or heavy weight Kubernetes cluster for just clicking buttons and creating and updating rows in a database? No! You know what, let’s fucking use Kubernetes. Let’s Gooo. Use what is right for you and stop parroting kubernets is hard, heavy, for big companies, maybe...

External Link meetgor.com [1] If you want to use it for the purpose of learning it, please do use it. Kubernetes as usual is a tool like others, you can’t use one tool everywhere. Where bash scripts work, they just work, where they don’t they fall apart too, kubernetes works like a charm. Use your grug brains a little and choose wisely! In the end, who the hell cares if you use kubernetes or bash scripts to scale if your users are happy? Well Said! References: [1]: https://www.meetgor.com/thoughts/kubernetes-isn-t-for-you/

Kubernetes Isn Kubernetes isn sliplane.io [1] This post feels like it was written by someone who has never tried kubernetes, someone who reads twitter, listens to t3.gg and thePrimeagen (who cant even container let alone kubernetes). If you cant run linux, use bash, build your own docker images, run docker comfortably. If infra is not your thing kubernetes is probably not for you. Kubernetes Was Built for Google Just like how react was built for facebook to solve facebook problems with many teams contributing effectively to the same interactive interfaces. Turns out that react is actually a pretty good product if you have a highly interactive page, and if this is your bread and butter, you can make overly heavy static sites with too much build very effectively. It works and runs much of the internet now. We are getting serious. We need serious tools. Big companies use Kubernetes. We should too. It feels more professional. It sounds like we know what we are doing. If anyone uses these reasons to pitch kubernetes to me they don’t belong in a position to make any sort of decision. The first one could be a heading with maybe something under it. But Kubernetes should not be y...

csi-driver-smb/deploy/example/smb-provisioner at master · kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb This driver allows Kubernetes to access SMB Server on both Linux and Windows nodes. - kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb GitHub · github.com [1] Great guide to setting up a samba server right in kubernetes. I tried it out after too long of playing with trying to get connected to a samba share on ucore, no idea what was wrong, but this just works, and will live in my homelab [2] no matter what distro I’m on, no playbook required to set it up, just good ol k8s manifest. TBH I cheated and haven’t set up the secrets yet, so its not quite in argocd or in my github repo, but POC is there and it works as advertised without issue.

DHH (@dhh) on X You have all the time you need, you're just spending it poorly. Don't tell me you don't have time for Linux or kids OR BOTH. You have time for all of it once you stop filling your day with junk act... X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1] The message so many of us need to hear, stop scrolling and start creating. I’m not sure that I have a heavy issue with this, I barely scroll the socials anymore, I have my own rss reader curated with people that I enjoy consuming from. YT is often done as a family activity (with my wife) or listening while doing something like dishes. But I think I’ve been on the other side of this for awhile. There’s something that ticks my brain by twiddling with linux nonsensically or pip install thing-i-heard-about-today and try it. I’m not imune though, I often fill gaps in the day with nonsense short content, but try to avoid the short trap. References: [1]: https://x.com/dhh/status/1950462181331349688

- How many times in one video can Prime say dude just use arch, dude arch would be way easier, dude you know how hard you are making this on yourself. I do not envy those who desire full size configurability but stuck with the opinions of GatesJobs. Windows and Mac are so rigid, that it makes it impossible to do any level of customizability that I would want to do for productivity. Unless you Must work on win/mack for some reason of work, you make something for one of them, you use Adobe, or you play competitive online multiplayer with easy anticheat there is a distro for you. The number of things that you need a win/mack for is greatly shrinking, you don’t have to submit yourself to the pain of Gates that this guy has done.

- Ben sold me on the mini pocket pry here. It’s funny how so many minimalist tools become over the top titanium damascus with wild patterns and designs. they look amazing, but are they worth the insane price for simple things? I like my edc to be things I don’t worry about breaking, loosing, or giving away. Fancy ass prybars for $200+ gives me all of those negative feelings I don’t want on my edc.
