Google ruined Nest (not a secret) and they keep giving me new reasons to leave. After 4 years of bugging me to migrate my Nest acct to a Google "personal" one, I had to create a Gmail, add a cc, buy a plan, migrate devices, and then Google promptly locked me out saying it's a bot account. Awesome

we're liveeeeeeeee!
My last stream of the year is Thursday! @mehtaverse-hq.bsky.social and @vfarcic.bsky.social join me to rant about our AI tools and what we'll still be using in 2026 and what we're leaving to gather dust in 2025.

What AI dev tools are you still using vs. quiting?

Do you manage container image builds? I've wrapped up a major edit on my Silent Rebuilds tutorial and repo. Weeks of work! New blog and video content. #Docker #GitHub #GitHubActions www.bretfisher.com/silent-rebui...
Silent Rebuilds: Keeping Container CVE Counts Near-Zero
Starting with a slim/distroless container image is necessary today, but it isn't enough. You need daily automation to trigger rebuilds for dependencies and base image digest updates.

My bank can't keep statements after a year, but Amazon still remembers what I purchased in 2000, including this banger. Only 1.8 stars? They must have hated the ending.

If you saw my video introducing "Cool Bret" for #KubeCon ( watch it first, below), you might not realize how many takes are needed during recording...

#GPT 5.1 is wild with how it talks to me. It just gave me a guide for implementing some #GitHub security features and titled it "Putting it together like a DevOps adult".... I want to be a #DevOps adult. How can I be that?

What's your favorite #KubeCon talk this week? Did you hear others recommend one? Let's make a list of the hits

My fav part of #kubecon is meeting students and podcast guests IRL!

I'm Stoked! Tuesday. #KubeCon. 6:40pm during KubeCrawl. Come On Down to the CVE Price Is Right at the @chainguard.dev booth with me and @adrianmouat.com, seeing who can guess the closest (but not over!) the CVE count of popular open source project images for prizes #DevOps #DevSecOps #Sponsored

My #kubecon people. I'm running a full 20-minute game show about CVEs from the @chainguard.bsky.social booth during KubeCrawl with @adrianmouat.com and the help of Ville Aikas, Courtney Bennett, and @bethfish.bsky.social. I'm so excited I haven't slept much in weeks. You have to come see it.

RE: #kubecon flights at risk of cancellation... I mean, Europe has the KubeTrain. Why can't we have the East Coast KubeCaravan? @mehtaverse-hq.bsky.social @estesp.dev @sudo-bmitch.bsky.social @mikesir87.io

Probably the silliest thing I've done at a conference, hosting a Price is Right style CVE guessing competition at #KubeCrawl with @chainguard.bsky.social and @adrianmouat.com #kubecon
On Wednesday, during the booth crawl, I will be taking part in the biggest event at KubeCon. Alongside the one-and-only (thankfully) @bretfisher.com , we will be hosting "The CVE Price is Right" at the Chainguard booth. Come along to win amazing prizes (Bret's broken juicer)!

Is this the first #Kubernetes product to provide live pod migrations between nodes? I recorded a podcast ep. with two of Cast.AI's engineers on how it works.

Speaking of Nine Inch Nails. If you've yet to experience the double-album The Fragile, it was a defining moment for electronic music in 1999. IMO an all-time top-10 album, and it still takes me back to the Y2K bug work we were rushing through when the album dropped open.spotify.com/album/4uiVwL...
