1. Built a way to visualize a cluster (and your VMs) without installing anything in it, curious what this community thinks

Snippet: Genuinely asking for feedback here, not just dropping a link. The idea: you already trust kubectl with your kubeconfig. What if a dashboard could use that same file, the same way, no in-cluster agent, no extra RBAC beyond what your kubeconfig already grants, and just show you the cluster live? That's what I built with InfraCanvas. Drop a kubeconfig in, it talks to the API server directly, same as kubectl does, and re…

Snippet: I'm using a DXP4800+, docker, and after this most recent update of docker none of my containers are accessible. If this seems more like a ugreen problem please let me know and I will get assistance from there. In the beginning they were not even starting after update, I was getting a mix of "Failed to edit container portainer.

Snippet: The race to solve AI's copper bottleneck for scale-up and scale-out intensified last week, as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is drafting a measure that would block imports of new Chinese transceiver models , with officials hoping to publish the rule before the end of 2026. Yesterday, we covered exactly how much of the Secure Networks Act might rely on Chinese-made optical module manufacturers. The techno…

Snippet: Spartacus Legends was a free to play game released in 2013 by Ubisoft as a tie in to the TV show Spartacus. Developed by Kung Fu Factory, the game was a pay to win fighting game with a grindy premium economy system, though most things could be obtained via grinding for silver, the games non premium currency. Despite not being well received at the time, the game is remembered fondly by some. Many fans have wished they…

Snippet: I ran into some video about self hosting media servers and I got a bit hyped. I bought cheap PC, Dell Vostro 3470 (I read I need +8th gen for encoding) for 130$ without HDD. I installed Debian, got myself RustDesk and the dummy HDMI so I can unplug monitor and added my devices to TailScale.

Snippet: Qwen just released their first 3.8 model. The main addition in 3.8 is prompt-steered reasoning effort. You can tell the model how deeply to think by setting reasoning_effort to xhigh , medium , or low . However, the official template still has some serious problems: You cannot disable thinking. If you pass enable_thinking=false , it 3.8 crashes with a hard exception. Chat history gets poisoned. In multi-turn chats, t…

Snippet: I've been looking at where Retail and CPG companies are actually getting stuck with AI, and I think the interesting part is that the biggest challenge isn't necessarily access to AI anymore. It's turning AI investment into measurable business outcomes. Companies have more data, better models and more GenAI tools than ever. But there is still a significant gap between having an AI use case, putting it into production,…
