Everyone sensible in IT has been saying for years that if you buy COTS (commercial off-the-shelf software packages) you shouldnât customize it - itâs wildly expensive and you end up with something hard to maintain and almost impossible to upgrade.

I am enormously grateful for the service and the sacrifices of those who broke barriers before meâand although I may be the first African American Secretary of Defense, itâs my hope that I wonât be the last.

11 years ago today I pushed the first commit for Vagrant. I didnât know what a virtual machine was, I barely knew Ruby, I had never done any ops, I was still a 20 year old university student. Follow your dreams, it isnât easy, but it can be done. github.com/hashicorp/vagrantâŠ

Less educated != Less capable
I appreciate the perspective of this article and the effect that social class has on jobs, leadership, and promotions.

Workers with lower social-class origins tend to be less educated, a factor that explains about 60% of the disadvantage they experience in the workplace. But that disparity in education levels has nothing to do with intelligence and more to do with context. s.hbr.org/3nxbiLV?utm_campaiâŠ

I love this @AWS reaction to using Waypoint to deploy to Docker, EKS, and ECS with the same command and minimal config changes. âThatâs pretty awesome.â clips.twitch.tv/SavageGracefâŠ

For those pursuing an arm64 based home lab for "edge" projects, here's my latest project:
- 8 x RPi 4B 8GB, 4-core Cortex A72, 64GB mSD
- PoE HATs for each RPi
- Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit for arm64
- K3s (currently running v1.19.2 k3s1)

If you're wondering what the PoE HATs are for, the Netgear 8-port PoE switch at the bottom provides power to all RPis, so effectively only 1 power cable in the setup. I also use 1GbE connection for cluster interface (WiFi only for SSH/mgmt).

Happy to have the support of @SpaceXâs Starlink internet as emergency responders look to help residents rebuild the town of Malden, WA that was overcome by wildfires earlier this month. #wawildfire
