Well, I've got the TuringPi mounted into its case and racked, next up will be installing Talos Linux on them, although I think I will wait for the v1.9.0 release, because support for the RK1 boards has been merged!

A real-life case study in anonymous internet harassment and insider threat: I must sadly retract my endorsement of Kevin Crawley, as I have recently learned he is a Kiwi Farms member. I believe he may pose a safety risk to his colleagues, or even to his employer. www.linkedin.com/posts/efong_...

Criticism is easy. Creating something worth criticizing is the hard part.

I'm at the Kubernetes contrib summit for most of today, feel free to say hi, especially if you want to chat Gatway API stuff! Otherwise, I'll be around at #kubecon all week.

Once the big week of Kubecon is over next week, looking forward to getting this baby installed and up and running - it's a Turing Pi board with 2 RK1 and 2 Raspberry Pi CM4 modules. It's going to be the Kube home lab.

Who doesn't love an "I was there early" commemoration post?

Just gutted. When I think of her, I think of: - bear hugs - always saying the c-bomb near me, because "You're Australian, right?" 🥲 - warmth - community - being not only proud of who she was, but there for everyone who needed the support she wished she had previously. I'll miss her.
