Kubernetes is straightforward to understand and use. The same team using Kubernetes:

You know how dogs resemble their owners? I’m noticing something similar with how startup employees tweets mimic their CEO’s

@enisoc @PlanetScale @brianmmdev @AVaidyanatha 7 TODO and 1 WARNING 😉

@PlanetScale @brianmmdev Glad to hear you still use Vitess Operator! Want to play a game? If you find anything that says "TODO(enisoc)" in the codebase, you owe me a database hat. 🤠 @AVaidyanatha you want to get in on this?

📌 Have you ever wondered if databases run well on Kubernetes? If you’ve ever worked with Kubernetes, you know that it is an orchestration tool that can automatically scale out or maintain your containerized applications. You provide a spec file, and Kubernetes will do its best to make sure the actual state matches the desired state. This works quite well with stateless applications that can spin up and down as needed. With the right configuration, it can also work well for your MySQL databases. 📌 Deployments vs StatefulSets Traditional applications deployed to Kubernetes are known as Deployments. When creating a Deployment, you define the container you want to run, how many you want to run, and what the settings of them should be, and Kubernetes will take care of the rest. If a pod (the smallest unit in Kubernetes which contains one or more containers) dies for whatever reason, Kubernetes will spin up a new one to take its place. Deployments do not consider, however, the data within those containers. StatefulSets, on the other hand, do consider state. When pods are defined in a StatefulSet, Kubernetes will do several things to maintain the state. Persistent storage will be attached to the pods so that when they are spun down, the data will not be lost. Additionally, when pods are scaled up and down, Kubernetes will ensure they do so in the same order and with the same name A best practice is to deploy your database containers as part of a StatefulSet and NOT a Deployment. However, PlanetScale does not do this!

@fatih Made the mistake of saving about $400 USD on new set of normal tires. If these tires actually last 40k miles, they'll end up being more expensive due to efficiency loss.

TIL, there are tires made specifically for EVs.

Matt is my team mate & he is brilliant, don't miss his talk. There will be a Q&A section ✨ Related blog post: planetscale.com/blog/faster-my…

this is how we installed multi floppy disk software in the 90s, exactly like this.

I love reading the Planetscale posts like these planetscale.com/blog/faster-my…

@samkottler @samlambert if they only used a Blockchain... 🙃

@samlambert the DoD were unable to account for 61% of their assets in its latest audit, which they failed for the fifth time - thehill.com/policy/defense…

More car hacking! Earlier this year, we were able to remotely unlock, start, locate, flash, and honk any remotely connected Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, and Acura vehicles, completely unauthorized, knowing only the VIN number of the car. Here's how we found it, and how it works:

@lorenc_dan @EnvoyProxy how do we get our hands on these images?

Is anyone using @EnvoyProxy in containers and worried about vulnerability management? We have an experimental build of Envoy running in a Wolfi image and are looking for folks interested in testing it out!

Do they know what this phrase means?

“Babel” sculpture is amazing by Cildo Meireles, features 100s of working analog radios all tuned to different stations.

@ywxwy pretty much what he's said the goal has been, but not sure how he thought it would deter the parody stuff 🤷

@ScannerFremont Welcome! Here's dashcam footage as well 😬 photos.app.goo.gl/JLddKxmctkTonY… I talked with bicyclists afterwards while waiting for the cops. They had no idea he came up behind them like that.

@ScannerFremont he lost control swerving around a car, very narrowly missing a pair of bicyclists, and then crashed into the Bank of America

@skottler @jordw for some reason your avatars make my brain stutter when skimming my timeline
