<p>Hi I&#39;m Alex, a Kubernetes-focused gremlin from the tropical island of Mauritius. I do Cloud Native stuff for work, and for my not-yet-overengineered homelab. I&#39;m also an advocate for FOSS over here, and you&#39;ll find me active in the local tech communities.<br />Other than that, I like Linux and SBCs, and writing Rust. I just like building things :P<br />Oh and, shitposts inside, follower only</p><p>Please have something in your account before sending a follow-req, thank you :)</p>

    Yet another functional laptop recovered from waste!! It&amp;#39;s a T410, missing its hard disk and with a battery that holds no charge, but it&amp;#39;s still a pretty cool find :3

    I&amp;#39;m finally ending my trip to Europe in Gatwick. I&amp;#39;ll be boarding in a couple minutes, and will fly 12 hours direct back to Mauritius. It&amp;#39;s been an insane 24+ hours, I&amp;#39;m looking forward to being back in my bed. Not gonna make this an appreciation post (waaay too many people), but thank you to everyone who made this trip as cool as it was; all things considered, I&amp;#39;m actually pretty sad to be leaving.

    I&amp;#39;m at KubeCon Day 0 with the project lightning talks and co-hosted events today. This morning I picked up my badge; look ma, im a speaker!!

    KubeCon is happening, and, unsurprisingly, I have neither the time nor energy to live-toot. Soooo, have some pictures instead! Day 0, I saw the project lightning talks, as well as the colo track Cloud Sovereignty Day. After that, we had an afterparty at CiliumCon which was a lot of fun with the labs. Yesterday was day 1, and I spent most of my time going between sponsor booths. Did have a good talk about Go vs Rust though!

    Advantage of the European cold is that it keeps your beers freezing :P

    A little bit later, one could catch me and my friend running to the metro station through the hail and rain and wind... https://moris.social/@AlexB/116296238718642819

    Another neat advantage of the European cold is that my phone can actually charge fast. Like what do you meaaaan I can d 0-100 in 30 minutes without turning my phone into the sun. It&amp;#39;s like 3x as long back home :O

    European weather can be intriguing - one time it&amp;#39;s sunny (not to be confused with warm) and thirty minutes later, you&amp;#39;re running through hail and wind and rain to get to the metro station. I can say I&amp;#39;ve experienced everything there is to experience with Europe :)

    I just gave a talk on the biggest stage of my life, in front of the biggest audience of my life. Words can&amp;#39;t express just how insanely cool this was, I&amp;#39;m incredibly happy and it went so well. I talked about KRaft, my project to make a cloud service provider run out of my homelab, and any infra anywhere in the world.

    I had fun taking lizard pictures in the garden earlier. Though these pictures came at the cost of no less than 10 mosquito bites

    It is 5 pm in Amsterdam. I&amp;#39;m waiting on my baggage - the plane unloading has been delayed. The baggage area is full of british people walking around, looking miffed (myself included tbf). It has been 24 hours of non-stop travelling for me; beds have been reduced to a far away concept.

    I think it would be fun to have one of those dev machines with one of the a-lot-of-cores Ampere CPUs. Just so I can compile Rust without making my desktop grind to a halt :)
