Just typo'ed `Dorkerfile` and I'm pretty sure that is actually correct

OK it's friday, time for the ultimate bikeshedding, aka, fixing my Makefiles.

Basically a task you can spend ENDLESS amounts of time on and still not be done.

ACRL's first public postmortem is now available for free subscribers :P

Learn more about how a race condition between cert-manager, the SimKube controller, and a mutating webhook configuration took down our (currently unavailable to the public) CI runner!

cargo clippy is one of the best linting tools I've ever worked with.

This week has been recursive rabbit hole week. I'm so far down these rabbit holes even the rabbits are wondering where I've gone.

Welp, it finally happened. ACRL is now the proud (?????) owner of two (2) AWS accounts.

How my morning is going:

- I want to stop shuffling static IAM credentials everywhere, that seems bad
- Oh hey, AWS has IAM Roles Anywhere based on PKI
- I need to set up a private CA, that's reasonable
- HOLY FUCK IT COSTS $400/MONTH TO RUN A PRIVATE CA ON AWS?
- Ok I wonder how I create my own CA

In case you were wondering what I was up to at KubeCon, it was incredibly important content marketing.
