>In Helm 3, Helm generates a patch of the containers object between the old manifest, the live state, and the new manifest. It notices that the new manifest changes the image tag to 2.1.0, but live state contains a sidecar container
This seems to break all principles of infrastructure as code to me

I figured out how to move a 14TB PG Db to another Google project using the CloudSQL auth proxy. 🤞I’ll report back with details.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) promises a new way for LLMs to use tools.
Chris Riccomini argues it mostly reinvents OpenAPI, gRPC & CLIs.
Resources = docs
Tools = RPC
Prompts = configs
So… could MCP have just been a JSON file?

Another brand new new feature is the R2 data catalog: blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-d...
Build something with Pipelines and R2 SQL. I suggest receiving OpenTelemetry data and then surfacing that in a web app (logs should be fairly straightforward), but there are tons of uses for this.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target

This MCP Server Could Have Been a JSON File
There's a lot of buzz around MCP. I'm not convinced it needs to exist.

Do we have metrics on how often LLMs generate similar blocks of code across the industry? Most software being developed isn't unique, and it seems we'd be better served by new frameworks, and higher level abstractions.
But then we're back to the discovery problem, something LLMs seem to help with.

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop?

Every “free” file converter online = your files sent to some random server.
So I made my own. Runs locally as an app on Mac, Windows and Linux.
Now 1,100 users use it for 3,742 types of conversions.
