containerd 1.7 Ends September 1, 2026 — the Last 1.x Line Under Your Kubernetes Nodes
containerd 1.7, the final 1.x release line, reaches end of life on September 1, 2026 after three and a half years as an LTS. It is the container runtime under most Kubernetes nodes and Docker hosts — and the component almost no inventory lists. What changes, the 1.x to 2.x migration reality, and why 2.3 LTS (April 2028) is the landing zone.

Network Subsystem | Internals for Interns
At the end of the previous article we watched a module fill in a struct net_device_ops (include/linux/netdevice.h:1436), hand it to register_netdev() (net/core/dev.c:11531), and walk away. That’s a promise: here are my function pointers, call me when you need the hardware. What we never got to see is the other half of the promise — who calls them, and what happens in between the wire and your program. So let’s go look. We’re going to follow one packet all the way in, and then one packet all the way back out.

Before NTP there were Time and Daytime
Before NTP there were Time and Daytime
In building an NTP time demo on old Macs for VCF Midwest, I came across RFC 867 and RFC 868, for the 'Daytime' and 'Time' Protocols, respectively. My first exposure to any form of network time was when I upgraded from a used PowerBook 180c to my first 'new' computer, a Power Mac G3, in 2000. With the introduction of Mac OS 8.5, Apple added a 'Network Time Server' option in the Date & Time Control Panel.

WTF Google?!? | Google Maps changes Lake Ontario's name to 'Lake America' for US users
WTF Google?!? | Google Maps changes Lake Ontario's name to 'Lake America' for US users
Google says it has updated its maps application to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America” for users in the United States. The global technology giant says the move reflects a recent order by President Donald Trump that changed the name of the lake amid an escalating trade war with Canada. The company says that the decision was based on its practice of using the name assigned by the U.S. Geographic Names Information System. The White House as well as the office of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney did not immediately comment Sunday on Google’s decision.
