Speaker about AI and platform engineering using AI generated graphics for his slides, which is why the word cloud actually says "flaaatforn eugineering" next to "AI" repeated three times.
The word cloud, the most cliche of all illustrations, and we can't even make them right any more. #kubecon

@npub1sa9…mu28 there was a very popular joke back in the day, that I think originated with a period youtuber.
It was that they put that plastic handle on the top so that you could put a chain through and use it as a boat anchor.

incredible how all the "DIY"/raspberry-pi based IP KVMs are significantly more expensive than used commercial options. I know there are ways it's not a fair comparison, but $300+ for a PiKVM is outrageous when you can pick up an 8-channel Avocent with transceivers for less than that. I don't really get what the market for these projects is.

@npub1sa9…mu28 ah, the good old fashioned amateur radio welcome committee. you say "radio check" and they respond with 45 minutes of opinions that verge into racism at about the 30 minute mark. To be fair, it does give you a lot of opportunity to make adjustments on your receive side!

meanwhile on an orange website:
a large portion of total comments are a user with a racial slur in the name posting "do u want an ai girlfriend?" fifty times with assorted Discord links
someone named 'josephstalinok' is shilling for north korea, while someone else wonders if moving there is the economically rational decision
