To help us raise more funds for our development efforts, we are launching a new line of merchandise for Mastodon including t-shirts, mugs, enamel pins, and stickers.
@elegantcoder I'm trying to follow "Mastering Container offers for Kubernetes apps", but the hand-on assets don't match the videos (e.g. azure-voting app vs ToDo). Suggestions?
I saw a sneak peak at the first approved sessions for #lfnw2023 ... amazing presenters stepping up this year. Look for those to be published soon.

The LFNW committee will be meeting on March 11. Our #1 topic of business is to plan how #LFNW2020 will be affected by COVID-19. As soon as we have a concrete plan of action, we’ll post it on the blog, on social media, and inform sponsors, presenters, and registered attendees via email.

If you wrote a blog with "Hello, World" and "terraform" in the title, but it required AWS credentials... you're doing it wrong. https://gist.github.com/bear454/96c067ab082f5c6cc9321061f601373f
You can't get a gumball for a nickel anymore, but you can get a VM for the workday. EC2 t3.nano or Azure B1LS are both half a cent/hr with no contract (and cheaper still with a reservation).

Many Android phone vendors subsidize their cost w/ malware/spyware/adware just like many laptop vendors, but Android lets vendors make it impossible to remove.
In this case, free Android phones the US govt. handed out to the poor contained Chinese malware. #privacy

Did you know that #Purism contributes to several free software projects such as GNOME, wlroots and Debian? We've also made dozens of patches to the #Linux kernel (5.2, 5.1, 5.0, 4.20) for the Librem 5 and our other hardware https://puri.sm/posts/purism-and-the-linux-5-2-kernel/ #librem5 #linuxphone #linuxmobile
I hope @purism ships my phone soon. I dropped my Sony in the toilet.
