Kubernuts

From what I’ve read about Kubernetes, it seems like a scam. It solves two hard problems poorly (distributed systems management and load balancing) but in return you get opacity, slowness, lack of security (inherent in containers themselves) and unpredictability.

It’s cute watching young IT people make the same fuck-ups we already made two decades ago.

My Last Straw

To all the liberals and other assorted idiots who advocate silly, puerile shit like banning straws in the face of the vast calamity ahead of us: fuck you very much. You are the problem. You are no better than climate change deniers in the grand scheme of things. You are not part of the resistance, the revolution, or anything otherwise useful. You are water carriers for the 1%, all of whom will dance on your graves when you are gone and who will laugh from their armored New Zealand enclaves as your children starve. Get the fuck outta here with your straw bans and organic quinoa.

MRV

Just a friendly reminder that pretty competent war game simulations show that the most likely use of nuclear weapons is on one’s own soil as a last defense.

Think the first American Civil War killed a bunch of people? Wait till someone uses nukes “defensively” in the second one. I suspect that’s the most likely way nukes would be used, either in the US or Russia (or possibly Pakistan).
