Hey @wtyppod have y’all ever thought about doing an episode on the 21st-century troubles of the DC Metro rail system?

"Subnet requirements for [EKS] clusters -- ...The subnets can't reside in the following Availability Zones: [ use1-az3, usw1-az2, cac1-az3 ]" It sure would be nice to know WHY those three AZs, out of the whole sprawling footprint of AWS, can't be part of an EKS cluster...

Hey @bcantrill -- do I remember correctly that at some point you described the early episodes of the Oxide podcasts as "basically Adam and I talking to ourselves"? How long was it before you felt like "there's an audience here outside of people I've directly mentioned it to"?

(To be clear, this is not at all intended as a slam -- I love Ox&F, and I was having a discussion with somebody the other day about how long it takes to organically build an audience for something like that...

...and part of my side of the argument was "here's a podcast that had just about everything going for it right off the bat to have an instant audience but it still *took time* because it just does, in most cases".)

Hey @sched, I can’t get to any kind of profile/signin/signout screen in your iOS app. I’m stuck on “search for an event” but when I try to add the event I’m speaking at, I get an error that I don’t have permission, and I have no way to check if I’m logged in correctly.

"If you wish to opt out of your community online portal please contact your leasing office for permission and to remove your e-mail address." Well @ActiveBuilding, I don't have a "leasing office" to contact to stop you e-mailing me because somebody screwed up an e-mail address.

What was that old component you used to have to use in Kubernetes to manage election of a single scheduler and controller-manager in HA control planes before they could self-elect?

Hey @EmpowerToday, it’s not super-useful to make me recover my username before I can recover my password when I just recovered my username literally 30 seconds before.

Kubernetes folks, and especially those who still consider themselves newbies, what part(s) of Kubernetes networking do you wish you knew more about the underpinnings of?

I have a very vague memory of EC2 Classic. I think the very first AWS instances I provisioned for demos might have been Classic ones, and I’m pretty sure VPC was already available by then, it was just more effort to set up.

Farewell EC2-Classic, it’s been swell - after 16.83 years of loyal duty, the service that defined Cloud Computing is riding into the sunset. #AWS #allthingsdistributed #EC2 allthingsdistributed.com/202…

There’s a trend in videos now, that I think started with YouTube celebrities but is now invading other types of videos like technical explainers as well — instead of a 5- or 10-minute video of somebody looking at the camera and talking in complete sentences with pauses between…

Every sentence or clause ends in a hard cut to the next sentence.The video jumps and the audio blips and there’s no pause at all.I find it intensely hard to watch andI don’t understand why it’s seemingly taking over every video on social media.

I can watch a 10-minute video of an outing to a waterpark or a technical demo or whatever. What I can’t watch is a 10-minute supercut of 100 6-second videos.

It’s striking just how sub-par my experience with audio is on @discord on Linux compared not just to Discord on any other platform, but to any other conference/chat app on Linux.

It's a little ridiculous that GCal still can't handle recurrence rules like "every Nth and Mth instance per [time period]" in its GUI. (You can *import* such rules as iCal files, but if you try to edit those events in GCal it smashes to just one recurrence per period.)

The true origin of the name k3s goes as follows. Kubernetes shortened is k8s, pronounced as kates, which is shortened as k3s. The name was so geeky dumb that we used to make up different stories on why it’s called that, but that is the real reason (I know, I named it).

Instead of taking a break, I decided to make it weirder.
