If you didn't know there are 3 different types of #github action runners.
The free tier, self-hosted, and GitHub-hosted. The API can report on both self-hosted and GitHub-hosted, but not the free tier, it seems. Even though the free tier _is_ GitHub-hosted.
Guess which one I need information on?

How are you spending your Tuesday? Me? Ah yeah, I had to rediscover how to cross-compile containers with #podman on a Mac M3 to deploy on an x86 #OpenShift cluster. Yeah, you know a good time.
Thank goodness this was here; otherwise, I wouldn't have figured it out.

I’m giving a TED talk tomorrow. Surreal experience but an interesting one. www.tedxportland.com/year/13 I believe it’ll be live streamed as well. Adulting is crazy sometimes.

Hey @lunarjade.bsky.social or @bengineering.bsky.social any chance we can get the Let's Nope Express(es) back? I loved them, and realize they are a ton of work, but they were perfect for my lunch breaks.
I can't find 2 hours to watch the whole stream, and the 30 minutes was perfect for me.

I figured out how to bring 🎉AGENTIC🥳 AI to D&D. Here, I go over writing a Model Context Protocol Server that acts as a solo roleplaying oracle. I walk through all you need to do to get it running with Claude, using Spring AI to write a simple, Java MCP Server. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iROi...
