Last day to submit for Devoxx Belgium. I could use a bit more submission in my track "Cloud Native, Data and Infrastructure".

⏰ LAST DAY to submit your talk for Devoxx Belgium 2026! Share what you’ve built, learned, solved or explored with the Devoxx community. CFP closes today at 23:59 CEST 👉 dvbe26.cfp.dev

@mu.social I love the fact that you are creating a new identity for the social application. But let’s be also honest it is a fork of @bsky.app . What are the plans of core alignment… for example on their plans for more community based streams?

Someone knowledgeable on @atproto.com should submit a talk at Devoxx.🇧🇪. We have a "Mind The Geek" track where this would fit perfectly. I've been diving into the specs, and there's a lot of interesting stuff there. You still have a week to submit: www.devoxx.be

CfP for Devoxx is closing soon...

Devoxx Belgium newsletter is out 🇧🇪🤩 1) 10 Days until CFP closes! 2) Looking for Community Reviewers 👀 3) New devoxx.com/speakers champions list 👉 redirect.devoxx.be/nl3/LYFjdze6...

Finally moved to @eurosky.social. Migration was a bit scary when I needed to enter the PLC update confirmation code, and I needed to refresh the migration page before getting the code page. Now, I don't seem to be able to verify my e-mail address as I don't get a "verification code" mail.

A critical part of a European social network presence is having the major media companies on board. They shouldn't have to choose to host on @eurosky.social or @wsocial.eu: The @ebu.ch could provide a safe haven for journalists and media companies and build the infrastructure.

This will be a game changer. I'll certainly dive into the proposal to see if it will allow for building mixed private/public data social apps. I hope this proposal will allow for that, because that's how real life is, right? You only disclose part of it publicly.

Voor degenen die geïnteresseerd zijn in "digital sovereignty", een aanrader. "Fixing Europe"-podcast met Jo Caudron en Tom Van de Weghe.

Jo Caudron@jcaudron.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Vanaf vandaag maak ik samen met Tom Van de Weghe, een podcast waarin we Tom’s geopolitieke ervaring als buitenlandcorrespondent van de VRT en mijn kennis als innovatie- en transformatiestrateeg, bundelen om te begrijpen waar Europa vandaag staat én waar we naartoe kunnen.

Visualizing ADK multiagent systems

Let me share an interesting experiment I worked on to visualize your AI agent structure, more specifically, Agent Development Kit (ADK) multiagents. The more complex your agents become, as you split t...

Spring in 🇧🇪.

The internet is missing a .spy Top-Level Domain for my x-mas side project... why aren't the spy agencies making a fuse about this?!

For me, next year will be the year of spiffe.io. Although we've been relying on it for some time already through our tight integration with Istio. I want to push it a layer down toward the infrastructure (where it belongs). Once you have it in place, multi-cloud discussion becomes so much simpler.

Just booked my flight for KubeCon NA 2025. If you have to pay it out of your own pocket, better be fast when prices are low. I shouldn't have waited... the prices were lower a few days ago. Airplane tickets are like gambling.

A Cloud Native local chapter reboot. It was fun meeting everybody. And we made lots of plans for next year… like a blue sky account 😀.

Cloud Native Brussels@cnbrussels.bsky.social · 2y ago

On Wednesday night, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Belgium 🇧🇪 chapter began (for some of us) and reunited (for others)—and it was a blast!

Oh... excited!... I just got a person mail for @reckless.bsky.social. It's start with, "Hey there, it’s good to have you on board." This makes my day. www.theverge.com/2024/12/3/24...

@bsky.app could do a server split and run a server in the EU region, and sign its citizens up on that server. It will grow, a relative big server, and prove that the @atproto.com protocol really works... and at the same time, make some bureaucrats happy.

I would pay for an edit option. As a dyslectic, I constantly type typo's. My coworkers even see when I use AI because it makes less typo's 😬.

Let's see how resilient 🦋 follows are: Light mode for the win!!! Well, except for IntelliJ, but that's because of the Darcula theme... and maybe zed (running that in dark mode 🤔)... ok, ok... my terminal is black. But that's it... I think 😶‍🌫️.

A few weeks ago, I presented at ArgoCon (co-located KubeCon event). My second presentation where I created my slides with slide.com, the online editor from the authors behind reveal.js: 30 sliders for 10 minutes, so full of animations. Loved the editing experience. slides.com/alexvanboxel...

Today, I've started picking up some work on my little part of the @opentelemetry.io collector (the Google Cloud Pub/Sub receiver and exporter). I'm going to support the encoding extension, so I can support more than OTLP, it also allows me to extract an encoding that should not be part of the core.

I really don't like that posting is called `skeet` here. It's phonetically close to `scheet` in my month tongue (Dutch). And that means: fart 💨.

After about 18 years on Gmail, I'm ready to switch. I've been frustrated for a while now with its rule engine... I use rule engines a lot, to slice and dice my mails. I've evaluated Fastmail, as an alternative, for a few days now, and it's looking good.

ok, uhhh i've got like 3 more hours in the sky club to kill. every like == 1 hot take about observability

In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back. So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!) More on their architecture: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky

Building Bluesky: a Distributed Social Network (Real-World Engineering Challenges)

Bluesky is built by around 10 engineers, and has amassed 5 million users since publicly launching in February this year. A deep dive into novel design decisions, moving off AWS, and more.

Why@why.bsky.world · 2y ago

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day. The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

FYI - The cncf has an official account on bsky now - @cncf.io Nothing posted yet, but will in the future 👍

Yesterday at the @opentelemetry.io ContribFest as #KubeCon I had a very unusual question to ask... how do I deprecate *part* of my contribution to the collector? It's not something you easily ask at an online SIG meeting, seeing people in person rules. Thanks, Antoine and Pablo for the guidance.
