Could you please share a list of your favorites in San Jose/Bay Area?

In San Francisco I love having pho in Chinatown. Golden Star Vietnamese Restaurant, Sai's Vietnamese, and Golden Flower are the ones I like the most.


There are so many Vietnamese restaurants in San Jose it's really more similar to the Hanoi recommendation: you just have to experiment until you find the ones that resonate with your personal tastes. I recommend searching reddit for "best pho in San Jose" -- you'll find a number of threads, many of which feature similar sets of restaurants.

I daily drive a PopOS (22) on my laptop, it simplifies dealing with Nvidia drivers.

I recently upgraded to the 24.x version that runs Cosmic DE. While I loved the visuals and design, the whole OS was buggy. The GitHub issues about memory leaks I faced related to cosmic have been open for a while.


Yeah I'm still on 22. But I also usually use the ESR versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, because especially when I'm traveling, I value the stability of my home workstation over almost all else.

can you link these issues? i'm planning upgrade from 22.x but i'm afraid of some breaking issues. also did you upgrade or reinstall ? if upgrade, were there some issues with that ?

I was a big fan of popos (for a long time) and upgraded to the latest rust based one. However my firefox stopped working (no response for toolbar menu items and buttons).

The work around is to reset your display. After having to do this 5+ times a day (for months), I said sod it and went to ubuntu 22. Sad.

note: failed only my intel nuc, but not on thinkpad x1 carbon.


If anyone is reading this after my comment, please try firefox 150.0. It seems to have resolved it for me.

Not the commenter above. I used popOs 22 for 4-5 yeas daily, and have been quite happy. I was prompted to update to 24 through the system panel, accepted, and after the update was done, I encountered multiple issues with Cosmic. Could not restore, and after futile attempts, wiped and re-installed Ubuntu 22. I do not have a system76 PC, but an older Dell WS. I regret accepting the suggested breaking update.

Yeah, the COSMIC lack of polish caused me to jump to CachyOS.

> Finnish startup Donut Lab claims it’s made a solid-state battery breakthrough. Whether you believe it or not, the technology does appear to be more than just hype.


The claim by Finnish startup Donut Lab about a solid-state battery breakthrough is definitely one of the most talked-about tech stories right now. If even part of it is real, it could reshape electric vehicles with faster charging, higher energy density, and longer lifespan. However, the industry is still divided—some independent tests show promising fast-charging and thermal stability results, while other experts remain skeptical about the full set of performance claims.

Whether it turns out to be a true breakthrough or just overhyped innovation, it clearly shows how fast battery technology is evolving and how competitive the EV space has become.

I thought eBay doesn't allow you to cancel a bid you placed.


It does. You can argue you bid a wrong amount by mistake. It's necessary because mistakes do happen, and it even happened to me to retract a mistake once (was bidding on two items simultaneously in two tabs and mixed them up). But it gets abused.


> Did DO at least provide the DaemonSet from an official source, or was it literally "here's a random GitHub link"?

quoting verbatim from their email:

> For long-term remediation, our team has also created a DaemonSet that runs this flush command on all nodes automatically. You can find it at the link: https://github.com/okamidash/ARP-DOKS-FIX


Claude code has a /context command.


As the sibling comment already mentioned, k8s is not much more complexity once you're past the learning curve. I used to host with ec2 + scripts earlier. K8s actually solves a lot of problems that you will have to solve yourself anyway.


I've read a few horror stories, but I always thought it wouldn't happen to me :)

> It's not my problem, I opened a ticket, now I'm going to get lunch, hope it's back up soon.

That's a good way of thinking about it.


At our scale I doubt if we can get any cloud provider to write custom contracts. But if I had negotiating power, I completely agree.


Nobody that uses Kubernetes and random shit from Github would sign such an agreement if they actually had to pay out and could not weasel their way out of it. That would be signing up for a near-unlimited liability and business suicide.

Let's assume an incident costs you (the customer) ~5k, just assuming the time it takes to get a professional on very short notice to debug (since the whole promise of managed services is that you no longer need technical staff at all). That's also ignoring the actual cost to your business (lost sales, reputational risk, or missing your own SLAs).

For the provider to be willing to pay out something like this they'd need to charge you monthly several times that amount (otherwise just one incident and they're forever underwater on the LTV). Yet such a monthly amount would make the service unaffordable to all but the most deep-pocketed customers... for whom the impact of an outage on their business would cost even more meaning they'd want the payouts to be even bigger, leading to a catch-22.

High-availability good enough for the provider to put 5-figure sums on the line is actually really hard (there's a reason actual critical stuff like stock exchange order processing or card transactions don't run on the "cloud", nor on Kubernetes for that matter), so the next best thing is make-believe "high availability" where everyone (except the occasional poor soul like you that actually believed the marketing) understands the charade and plays along (because their own SLAs are often make-believe too).

We were on AWS for a while. The complexity was way higher than what our team could manage. DOKS is simpler, and this is the first major issue we've hit in many months.
