✨ Just discovered Kamaji — and I’m in love!

It’s a Kubernetes Control Plane manager that runs inside Pods, not on clunky VMs.

Perfect for multi-cluster setups, SaaS, and platform teams. You get:
🔸 Lower costs
🔸 Faster provisioning
🔸 Clean DevOps workflows 💅

If you’re into cloud-native infra, you’ll want to try this!

The $44k Kubernetes tax: managed control planes on EKS cost $876/year each before you run any workloads. Virtual clusters (vCluster, Kamaji, k0smotron) slash this to near zero by sharing one control plane. Same isolation, fraction of the cost.

This is so wonderfully human that, as far as I’m concerned, AI has passed the Turing Test…

If you look at Slavic languages by their spelling and alphabet (orthographic) differences, each seems like a unique language.

However, if you would transcribe all of them into the international phonetic alphabet (IPA), they would seem much more like dialects.

The last human on Earth’s moon, in 1972, was Czech-Slovak-American astronaut Eugene Cernan.

Every year of my life, I have heard people say, “This year the weather is the craziest I’ve ever seen it.”

I would enjoy reading any research on this ‘phenomenon’, as I am inclined to chalk it up to some sort of cultural loss of weather-related memories older than a few seasons.

I’m open to fully autonomous vehicles, but why do they need to be electric? Why can’t I have a self-driving car with a diesel or gas engine?
