Call me crazy, but I don't get the battlefield hype.
Played it for a couple of hours yesterday and honestly it's just not fun. It's not even that it's bad per se it's just not my type of game. It just doesn't feel competitive. Like it doesn't make a difference if you win or lose or whatever

#Kubernetes community, SIG-apps is working on adding new metrics to the StatefulSet controller upstream. Are there specific metrics you’ve felt were missing that would help in debugging or operating StatefulSets in production?

I know this is opening pandora's box, but what is your favorite keyboard? Or one that you'd recommend
Preferably one that is not crazy load and works both on Mac and Linux machines decently.

There was like a nice terminal that you could use for conference talks but I can't remember for the life of me what it was called. @sethvargo.com used it I think, but since I deleted my fucking twitter account, I can't go back to check 🤦♂️

You check in a file to a GitHub repository. The repository is private.
That means the file is private, right?
If you were to view this file "raw", it would still be private?
You couldn't just curl the URL and the file despite the fact that you're unauthenticated?

What the fuck is up with doctors using those stupid "digital assistants"?
How annoying is it, that I can't just ask a question and instead need to talk to robot for 5 minutes and still don't have an answer?
