Friday Feedback

Wednesday was a good day, sort of. I was able to shut down my K8S cluster.

The amount of grief this new fangled thing has given me cannot be overstated.

Bluntly, most of the issues could have been resolved by throwing more money at the problem. K8S does work for large infrastructure solutions. The sort of infrastructure where you have 10+ nodes and each node has 32+ GB of memory.

What does this mean for Troglodite? We are moving sideways to a different type of infrastructure. This is built on more VMs but smaller.

“The” debate happened. It was the first presidential debate I’ve watched in years. I had to tune it out about 15 minutes in, when the referees tackled Trump for the second time. I.e., did a fact check and reported Trump lied when he had not.

It was the three on one that I had hoped not to see.

The number of manipulative things that were done to make Trump look bad.

His microphone was louder. This makes him sound more aggressive.

They were keeping his microphone muted after Kamala stopped talking, he started talking into a dead mic. A second or so later, his mic goes live, but it makes it sound like he is talking over Kamala when he is not.

They asked him questions that were phrased in the negative, they asked her questions phrased in the positive.

The fallout on the debate was surprising. Immediately after the debate, there were all the cheerleaders claiming that Kamala won and talking about how bad Trump was. Many claiming that the fact checking proved that Trump does nothing but lie.

This filled my X feed. More leftist noise than I normally see in a month, all in that first 5 hours.

But, the discussion has morphed into “How bad was ABC? Can we give them a -5 on a scale of 1 to 10?”.

Not just on the right, but CNN is holding up the ABC debate as proof they aren’t leftist. When you lose CNN, you are really messing things up.

Social media, thank you to all of those that are following Follow @vineofliberty.

It is sad, I check the number of followers I have a few times a day, looking for those triple digit follows.

More federal judges are twisting the words of the Supreme Court to get the outcomes they want. Most of those are ending up in court, and losing. Even the Ninth Circus is putting up (temporary) wins for The People.

Have a fantastic weekend!
