My knees are finally getting a lot better. These sprint intervals felt great! 💪

Opening your talk? Skip the waffle. No one cares where you work or how many awards you've worked on. Grab attention with a hook like, a question, or a bold statement, then get straight to the good stuff. Remeber - useful AND Interesting  @d_yellowlees This is absolutely one of the key points ... how to start. There is some great advice on-line, but your point is exactly on point. Start with a hook !!! This is one of those brilliant posts you sometimes randomly stumble upon. Feynman's Garden @ marginalia.nu Had to go easy on my knees, but the faster pace felt really good.      @robchapman actually I'm quite jealous of people living in chess-like US cities because they can draw anything they want and then run it https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a32433537/strava-art/ Going from self hosted to managed software. Just stumbled upon the #IronLakeChallenge: https://rockyourgoal.de/en/iron-lake-challenge A challenge to run/hike around the 10 largest lakes in your state. In my case (#IronLakeChallengeNiedersachsen), it's ~145 km to get a medal, with the longest trip being ~30 km around Steinhuder Meer. Certainly sounds fun! @garritfra I've been tinkering with an ARM-only #Kubernetes cluster using the Hetzner cloud this week. I'm running three control-plane nodes and six worker nodes, totaling 30 vCPU and 55 GB RAM, for about € 38/month. Hetzner is awesome. Everytime I work with Helm in #Kubernetes I'm reminded of why I want to stay away from Helm. I just wasted a good hour trying to figure out why our ingress-nginx helm release wouldn't deploy a service monitor. The solution was to ugrade the chart by setting `controller.metrics.enabled` to false and then true again, which triggers a new helm reconciliation. The whole point of Kubernetes is to match a desired state with the actual state, and then Helm comes along and breaks this behavior. FML.  @garritfra I dont know anything about Helm Charts and I'am not looking forward to this section. @garritfra That's not the worst part. The worst part is when you try to figure out how a specific chart works and they have broken the chart down into a million and one subcharts. @garritfra One of my goals for 2024 [1] was to get my butt out of the door and run at least one 10k, and I'm proud to say that I just reached that goal [2]! 🥳 [1]: https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-12-30-2023-in-review  Living Life Without Owning A Car Come along on a ride of how I was able to obtain my dream car in a challenging situation, but it all ended in a completely different direction.   @garritfra I wrote the post 😄. I may do another one about my driving history and the automobiles I've had. My Garmin Instinct 2S Solar arrived, and it looks and feels really solid. First impression: there's nothing this thing can't do. 😂 @garritfra I had a Garmin Forerunner back in the day and it was fantastic. In fact, I think I still have it in the drawer at home.  On todays session of #bullshitbingo: - Align on something Ran my first continuous 5k today. My personal best for this distance was apparently 30'34 min back in 2017. No clue how I managed to do that, but my goal is to beat 30 minutes this year. https://strava.app.link/pPDRBD7pzJb Now enjoying a Pita in the park. Today's run. My heart rate was pretty stable today, compared to two days ago.   @garritfra Perfect review mate! Thanks. Garmin looks interesting as well. Looking forward to the review. @garritfra I didn't know you got one of the smart models, those are meh imo so yeah. And if you already have your phone while running around why not just use that :blobcatderpy:

 @theresnotime The fun fact about "serverless" computing is that if you go to the Wikipedia page for it, it says right in the first paragraph that the term is a misnomer.   |
@garritfra Congrats, and it looks like a beautiful course to run too!
