Hi! I’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’m also an advocate for Free and Open Source Software over here, and am an active face in the developer/tech community.

When I'm not doing K8s, I will be playing with Linux or SBCs or coding in my favourite language: Rust!
Will paint your servers green ;)

I've been at Rejekts all day today, and I don't really have conference pictures :P
I have spent my day learning a ton about networking and Cilium, chaos engineering, Rust for K8s stuff, and so much stuff about in-depth memory management. Very cool day, I'm very happy with it!

It is 5 pm in Amsterdam. I'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 had fun taking lizard pictures in the garden earlier. Though these pictures came at the cost of no less than 10 mosquito bites

KubeCon trip this Wednesday, and I have questions and complaints already.
- It is foolish to take two laptops which both lack USBC charging? I was thinking my SP4 and Thinkpad P51.
- I am so sad I don't have a steam deck or similar to make the 12 hour flight tolerable. At least it's a night flight :/

My trip to Europe is becoming complicated!
Flight to London first, with a 9h layover and airport change before Amsterdam. Then Rejekts and KubeCon before going back to London to see my cousin. Not done there, as a few days later I'm off to EasterHegg in Germany. Then finally back to London in time for my flight home the next day.

I "finished" my weekend project of rewriting a Laravel application in Cot (Rust). Easy win in terms of idle resources, and despite the odds (limited CPU, no redis, but a lot of RAM), Cot still pulls ahead with 10x the performance.

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 :)
