@sammachin what was the issue you had? Mines currently reporting my usage at the wrong time so I’m being charged incorrectly for my night rate.
@sammachin I’m currently emailing with support and had to just send them a “you didn’t even read my previous emails” email. 😒 Will email their complaints next I think and then Greg.
Do I happen to have anyone in my network that works at Octopus Energy? Really having a hard time getting an issue sorted and would love to chat with someone who knows what they’re talking about.
Ugh! Racists need to just fuck off!

Cloud Native Rejekts is continuing and the community is leading the way! 🚀 We’ve made the decision to support Rejekts Amsterdam on March 21st, fully community‑organized 🇳🇱

📣 The CFP is now open! https://sessionize.com/cloud-native-rejekts-eu-2026
Please submit, share, and encourage others to get involved.

Rejekts will be locally organized by a team of volunteers. If you want to help organize Amsterdam, now’s the time to define event roles, promote the CFP, talk to sponsors, and start scouting venues & A/V. The CNR team will collaborate with event orgs in the new year.

Thank you to everyone for the passion, care, and commitment you've shown. Rejekts deserves a future that’s stable, inclusive, authentic, and truly community-driven. 💜

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".
Hey fellow nerds, can anyone recommend a good, reliable place to buy large (12Tb) hard drives from in the UK without getting ripped off right now?

One of the wild things about #Kubernetes is the variation in configurations between distributions.

An odd one is that microk8s from Canonical, doesn't enable RBAC out of the box.

Even if you read their "getting started" tutorial, there's no mention of enabling it in the "important addons" section https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-a-local-kubernetes-with-microk8s#3-enable-addons !!

Now they did disable anonymous access by default, so no unauthenticated RCE, but it does mean that any workload deployed to the cluster gets automatic cluster-admin rights .... which is not great for a distribution billed as "the go-to platform for mission-critical workloads"

@raesene That's.... a choice for sure
@raesene I'm sorry... WHAT?!
