People often throw around phrases like "practice self-compassion" or "love
yourself".
While this might be something that in theory possibly is
helpful to some people, it is not immediately clear why it should be good and

poles:
Sometimes we need to access services in our cluster via network which are not
yet part of the cluster, but we plan on migrating them at some point.
Or there are webservices still running on some old piece of junk, but we'd
like to have all the comforts of an …
This post contains a few links I refer to or share with other people.
These links go to external sites and while I do my best to check them
regularly for shady stuff, well you know how it goes in the
wild wild web, so make sure to stay safe …
Few exercises are so noncontroversial as chin- and pullups.
Medical professional, gym enthusiasts, calisthenic people, crossfitters,
almost everyone seems to like them. 1
The only people honestly not liking them tend to be strong and jacked (I mean

Upgrading a kubeadm kubernetes cluster is not nearly as bad as it might seem
in the first place, as it is all very well documented, but in the sea of
documentation you always feel like missing something.

This is a correction to a former post of myself.
I made the claim that
attention, not time is the most valuable resource.

It is almost a meme in coaching, consulting and also just general problem
solving in various areas of life and business:
To outsiders it is pretty obvious what the issues are, whereas the insiders
seem to be oblivious to them.
Depending on the severity, you can sometimes even tell them …
Boredom used to have a pretty bad reputation, and while it is slowly clearing
up, I think there is still some way ahead of us to fully appreciate boredom.
Boredom is what we experience when our mind searches for things to do and
to occupy itself with.
It is inherently …
It is new years eve or something like that and everyone is again thinking of
really losing weight this year.
Or really gaining muscle.
And just as it happens, I procrastinated long enough on this post to post it
on this fateful date, lol.
I always forget about this thing and the only reason I do not remember

And it is so embarrassing to ecosia it.
At least now I can look it up on my own blog, slightly reducing the amount of
embarrassment
The other day I asked a friend for their blog URL and they did not have a
blog.

Because having a blog is such an obvious thing.
Percolation, i.e. the study of things similar to liquids dripped onto porous
media, is an unnecessary fascinating topic.
But you do not need to dive into the mathematics [1] to enjoy this

It's 2022.
It has become mainstream to listen to podcasts [1] while doing chores,
preparing food, ambulating, eating food, driving places and pretty much all
