One of the things I love about macos is how simple and accessible it is to change basic settings of inbuilt functionality.... really sets itself apart from a No GUI Linux installation.
Want your #macOS screenshots to default to a format other than PNG? Change the format using this command: defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg # or pdf, tiff, heic, bmp

A long time ago I was working with a #Kubernetes CSI a lot and met head on with Kubernetes finalizers. I wrote a little to understand and overcome those issues.
Now I've spent some more time understanding them, and wrote a better deep dive.

It's true....
I read somewhere if you can't be arsed to do it, just do 5 minutes. Most of the time because you gave the start of 5 minutes, you'll continue further.

if you wait until you feel motivated, you’ll never start.
instead, just start, but start small—momentum creates motivation, not the other way around.

Complex overlay and underlay networking... yep no problem can smash through that.
Add some updates to a YAML file and get the formatting right first time, second time, tenth time.
Not a chance!
