cert-manager: Certificates as Cluster Resources

Issuers, Certificates, and one Gateway annotation: how cert-manager turns TLS issuance into desired state — plus the debug chain for when it won't issue.

Exploring Kubernetes

Pointing Your Domain at the Cluster with external-dns

The last manual step, automated: external-dns watches your HTTPRoutes and writes DNS records — to a cloud provider, or to authoritative DNS you run yourself.

Gateway API with Traefik: The Standard Front Door

Stop writing Ingress annotations. How Gateway API's role-split design works — GatewayClass, Gateway, HTTPRoute — wired end to end with Traefik, TLS included.

LoadBalancer Services: From Cloud to Bare Metal

What actually happens when you set type: LoadBalancer — cloud controllers, MetalLB on bare metal, pending IPs, traffic policy, and the one-per-app trap.

Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?

A laminated poster with an unsourced quote changed the trajectory of my entire life when I was a teenager.

Ghost in the Shell (2026)

Very different from previous iterations so far.

With its frenetic editing style, lush colours and kinetic animation it is a feast (maybe sometimes too much) for the senses.

Seamless Notes

Don't let it crash

One of the primary design pillars of Seamless is crash-safety.

Ordinary Seamless code should never crash the program.

If an operation can fail in a recoverable way, the caller should be able to see that in the value it returns.

A common version of this is selecting an item from application data:

function selectedPlanName(plans, selectedId) {
 const matches = plansWithId(plans, selectedId);
 return matches[0].name;
}

Is it safe? Are we really sure that the matches will never be empty?

 World On Fire

Caitlin inherited her uncle's drinks cabinet, along with all its dregs. It was a novelty design, a globe hinged at the equator. Closed, it showed all the places he had wanted to visit. Lift the northern hemisphere and you could see what had kept him away. She burned

Dandelions and Dragonflies

This week I'm showing off an absolutely stunning hair comb by Louis C. Tiffany. The jeweled magnificence of the dragonflies and the very natural look of the dandelion seed heads make a beautiful and intriguing dichotomy.

งานใหญ่ไม่เคยสำเร็จได้ด้วยตัวคนเดียว อย่าลืมสร้างความสัมพันธ์กับคนรอบข้าง เพราะงานขับเคลื่อนด้วยคน ไม่มีคนช่วยก็จะเหนื่อยหน่อย (แต่ถ้าทำคนเดียวแล้วไหว ก็ได้ แต่อาจจะตัวแตก)
