[blog] Monki Gras 2026 #monkigras 2026 was the best Monki Gras so far with a theme of ‘prepping craft’. A room full of techies, and a great gathering of friends, but not really a tech conference. It’s transcended tech, and become the place where the talks are about more important stuff.

Thanks for sponsoring. I meant to say hi, but too many other conversations were going on (for both of us).

I use Kubernetes as its creators intended - as a service, on their cloud. There's nothing for me at complexity enthusiasts Easter camp (other than hanging with my friends and drinking beer). Sadly nobody's funding my hanging with friends and beer trip 🙁

Missing you both 😭 I was looking forward to our usual catch ups and then I saw the trains posts.

Thanks for packing the raincoat. That's sure to keep the lovely weather we've been enjoying for the last few days keep going for a couple more 🌞

This HN thread sheds more light - news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4736... "Gotta give it to Zuck. Standing up a fully-fledged advocacy website 24 hours after domain registration and pushing a bill from a godaddy registration to a signed Utah law in just 77 days is terrifyingly efficient lobbying."

The commit that @etchedpixels.bsky.social created to add CA support into FUZIX is pretty amusing codeberg.org/EtchedPixels...

I figured there was some (terrible) 'model legislation' stuff happening, as these things were almost simultaneously popping up in California, then Colorado, and now Illinois. But it's good to track back to where the money's coming from to fund the 'think tanks' that churn out this stuff.

I should add that I found this via a @tbray.org post on Mastodon where he’d noted: “Rumor is they are migrating everything to Azure and it is going very badly” cosocial.ca/@timbray/116...

I was thinking along similar lines. My status page goes into the board deck every month. If we've had an incident it goes at the top, otherwise it sits in an appendix. I'm not sure how many board meetings I'd survive with _that_ many incidents (and no visible sign of improvement).

I've been thinking about that scene a LOT over the past few years (especially as note takers started flooding online meetings).

It's a React Native thing that dates back a decade. Apparently nobody at Meta uses an iPad :/ Which also explains why there's no iPad version of WhatsApp.

Reading this on an iPad Mini with huge black borders around the iPhone only app 🤦🏼‍♂️ I guess making an app use the whole screen must be super hard.
