Creating my EX280 page on Jekyll
As you might have notices I use Jekyll for this blog hosted on GitHub. I might do a post later on how I use it and how I set it up. For now, all you need to know is that Jekyll turns .md(markdown) file in to a blog. This happens using GitHub actions and builds my blog from source when I commit to main.

Taints and Tolerations - Can't Pods and Nodes just get along?
During my study for EX280 I found Taints and Tolerations very hard to understand. This is because Taints and Tolerations flip the scheduling of pods the other way around. What I mean by this is the following. Traditionally you would specify on a server what the server would run and what not. But in OpenShift this is flipped around. Instead of cr...

While preparing for EX280 I learned a lot about using the CLI to configure Openshift resources.

Quick open Things3 with Alfred
In my daily workflow I have found that when using different tools and systems with each other removing friction can be key. This is not a original insight or even a leap of the imagination but I do find myself eliminating friction in workflows in new ways. One of those ways I recently Implemented is to use Alfred on the Mac to quickly jump to li...
Using netcat to replace telnet
Any longtime computer user might be familiarity with the (ab)use of the telnet command to check connections and open ports. It is certainly still the first program that pops in to my mind when I want to check a network adres or port. But telnet was removed from Windows a long time ago and should not be installed on any *nix system. Luckily there...
