Want to wait for some Kubernetes resources and don't want to write a full reconciliation loop/operator? Here's how to hack it.

A quick writeup on the 'deployment spectrum' and it's history, as I see it.

I stood on the shoulders of the giants over at wickedtemplates (https://www.wickedtemplates.com) who open sourced wickedblocks (https://blocks.wickedtemplates.com/) and built their tailwind templates into individual components powered by lit-html, which is now called Lit (https://lit.dev/)

Watch out for kernel version mismatches after system updates (i.e. updates of the 'linux' package) -- spooky behavior can occur if you're not careful

You may not need Flux/ArgoCD or any fancy automated reconciliation loop deployment process just yet! Plain old CI runners work quite well for simple automated deployments (this approach powers this blog right now!).

Some quick code (PG migrations) to enable converting an auto-generated postgres primary key index to a covering index

A few more Paxos papers to take a gander at -- Quorum reads, Compartmentalization, Matchmaking and Pigs. The Paxos family of consensus protocols (and their papers) are as colorful as they ever were.
