"Attitude like this is what causes maintainer burnout."

With sigs.k8s.io/kind + lima-vm.io on an M4 Pro it is faster to recreate the cluster after raising the system inotify limit than wait for crashloopbackoff 😂

Still at a loss for words. Han was a wonderful human and an incredible engineer. He will be dearly missed. If you knew Han we're also collecting memorial messages. I hope someday his kids can read them: github.com/cncf/memoria...

The Kubernetes community mourns the sudden loss of Han Samuel Kang, 42, a talented engineer who brought exuberance to every contribution. He leaves behind a wife and two daughters. In lieu of flowers, please consider memorial donations: gofund.me/5ef5290f9

Quick KIND release for containerd CVE-2025-47290 github.com/kubernetes-s...

Yesterday: Stinson Beach to Mt Tam East Peak and Back. >16mi and >4k ft elevation. Still out of shape but getting back into it ... Stunning views 😍

@stmcginnis.bsky.social is too modest, and the process bits are my fault :-) His first time cutting a kind release, thanks Sean! 🎉

Sean McGinnis@stmcginnis.bsky.social · last yr.

New kind v0.28.0 release is out. Not too many major changes, but includes containerd 2.1 and defaults to @kubernetes.io v1.33.1! Huge thanks to @bentheelder.bsky.social for guidance running this release. The right parts are his, and errors are mine. 😄

Realized I can finally say "I have one decade of Kubernetes experience" :D github.com/kubernetes/k...

You may recognize a few names here :-) As always it's a *huge* team effort. I'm proud to have helped lead this one 😅

This week I did IPL round 4 of 4 and then lid debridement + LipiFlow for the MGD / severe dry eye. This afternoon I'm sitting atop Mission Peak after months of struggling with everyday tasks. I've done *far* more challenging routes but this is the *hardest* hike I've ever been on. 😮‍💨 I'm so happy 🥲
