Look, it's bad enough that I talk to myself while I'm working, you don't need me actually talking *at* the computer. (I get there are people with legitimate need for this but I suspect they are not the intended consumer of this somehow.)

Impossible to overstate how much of my soul is imbued into this post. I wanted to push the boundaries of the web as an education platform. Why _shouldn’t_ we run Kubernetes in the browser to demonstrate for-real what happens, and let you influence it? Hope you love it. 🫶
ngrok@ngrok.com · 2w agoWhat do a port of Kubernetes to TypeScript and a high-priority bug in the kubelet have in common? They both feature in @samwho.dev's guide to probing, out now. We're experimenting with what next-generation k8s education looks like, and we hope you love it.
I have just seen a woman walking down the road with her toddler, and the toddler was wearing a onesie and bucket hat that both had the Nirvana logo on it. Wtf?

"For so many years, there's been no place for B5 fans to congregate (other than the occasional asylum or prisons)." I think that's one of reasons I gravitated towards B5 after college (apart from Londo, G'Kar, and space opera). @straczynski.bsky.social's sense of humor is similar to my own, heh.
