Kubernetes at Scale without GitOps Is a Bad Idea - The New Stack
In this article, we describe the issues and challenges that enterprises face when deploying Kubernetes clusters at scale. We also describe how GitOps processes and tools can allow organizations to gain proper control of these highly distributed environments, while improving security and compliance best practices
Rediscovering MVC - A severely misunderstood "pattern"
(Originally posted by me on github, now updated and moved to a better writing platform)

Metaverse: Old wine in a new bottle? | Guest column | Seattle Weekly

This is a mini-HowTo on running Finit in an LXC system container. We
will be using a variant (external) of Buildroot, called NetBox to
create a squashfs (read-only) image for the root filesystem. Then we
will give the container a single writable directory from which it then
uses bind mount to emulate a full-blown system.
It is expected you have LXC installed and all the relevant build tools
needed to create the image. How to set that up is not covered by this
tutorial.

This vivid imagery is, perhaps, justified, given that almost 40 percent of organizations expect their data to grow by half or more every year, according to IDC […]
Async Rust in Practice: Performance, Pitfalls, Profiling - The New Stack
It’s been a while since the Tokio-based Rust Driver for ScyllaDB, a high-performance low-latency NoSQL database, was born during ScyllaDB’s internal developer hackathon. Since then, its development and adoption accelerated a lot. We’ve added many new features and published a couple of releases on crates.io. Along the way, we also stumbled upon a few interesting […]
Local Environment-as-Code: Is It Possible Yet? - The New Stack
Developers increasingly will be able to reliably configure their environments to suit their needs without spending a week typing commands and editing files.
Automotive blogs are currently hullabalooing about the design of Polestar's new O2 concept, and rightfully so; it's a sexy-looking vehicle. (And it's got that onboard drone.) However, what was of far greater interest to me was the screentime Polestar gave in the release
Researchers at South Korea's Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) took natural silk fibers from domesticated silkworms to build "sustainable and environmentally-friendly security solutions.
