With Twitter being a mess at the moment, I decided to try out Mastodon as an alternative. Mastodon is a federated social media platform, built on top of a protocol called ActivityPub. It can be self-hosted, letting you own your data, and I wanted to do so using Nomad as a cluster orchestrator. This post shows how I did it, and will hopefully inspire you to give Mastodon a try if you haven’t already! You can find me on the Fediverse at @[email protected] 🐘.

Authors : Mahamed Ali (Rackspace Technology) The Kubernetes project runs a community-owned image registry called registry.k8s.io to host its container images. On the 3rd of April 2023, the old registry k8s.gcr.io will be frozen and no further images for Kubernetes and related subprojects will be pushed to the old registry. This registry registry.k8s.io replaced the old one and has been generally available for several months. We have published a blog post about its benefits to the community and the Kubernetes project. This post also announced that future versions of Kubernetes will not be available in the old registry. Now that time has come. What does this change mean for contributors: If you are a maintainer of a subproject, you will need to update your manifests and Helm charts to use the new registry. What does this change mean for end users: 1.27 Kubernetes release will not be published to the old registry. Patch releases for 1.24, 1.25, and 1.26 will no longer be published to the old registry from April. Please read the timelines below for details of the final patch releases in the old registry. Starting in 1.25, the default image registry has been set to registry.k8s.io . This value is overridable in kubeadm and kubelet but setting it to k8s.gcr.io will fail for new releases after April as they won’t be present in the old registry. If you want to increase the reliability of your cluster and remove dependency on the community-owned registry or you are running Kubernetes in networks where external traffic is restricted, you should consider hosting local image registry mirrors. Some cloud vendors may offer hosted solutions for this. Timeline of the Changes: k8s.gcr.io will be frozen on the 3rd of April 2023 1.27 is expected to be released on the 12th of April 2023 The last 1.23 release on k8s.gcr.io will be 1.23.18 (1.23 goes EoL before the freeze) The last 1.24 release on k8s.gcr.io will be 1.24.12 The last 1.25 release on k8s.gcr.io will be 1.25.8 The last 1.26 release on k8s.gcr.io will be 1.26.3 What's next Please make sure your cluster does not have dependencies on old image registry. For example, you can run this command to list the images used by pods: kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o jsonpath = "{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}" |\ tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' |\ sort |\ uniq -c There may be other dependencies on the old image registry. Make sure you review any potential dependencies to keep your cluster healthy and up to date. Acknowledgments Change is hard , and evolving our image-serving platform is needed to ensure a sustainable future for the project. We strive to make things better for everyone using Kubernetes. Many contributors from all corners of our community have been working long and hard to ensure we are making the best decisions possible, executing plans, and doing our best to communicate those plans.

A ban on noncompetes, like the one proposed in the U.S. by the Federal Trade Commission, is not just good for workers. It’s good for companies and innovation in the long run. By letting workers share in the benefits of their innovations, noncompetes motivate them to work harder, make it easier for them to start new companies, and make the overall economy more dynamic and competitive.

# What’s Ahead in 2023?

We are very excited to present at the first ever OSS Security Meetup in Japan, on February 28 in Tokyo, hosted by Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Members. We aim to create a place where people with the same awareness and challenges related to OSS security can gather, share information mainly in Japanese, and move forward together.

I got a lot of engagement and discussions over the last month around “I am not a supplier”. I am happy to see the conversation happening. One of the particular topics made me a little angry though. I heard multiple times the argument that some organizations want to support maintainers financially, to ensure the sustainability of their Digital Infrastructure. But they cannot until they have a working Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), because otherwise, they cannot know who to direct the money to.

Discrimination against employees because of their health — including mental health — is illegal. While HR can make sure the right supports are in place, managers should also make sure that stigma isn’t impacting their day-to-day decisions about their teams. For example, how can a manager prevent their personal views on mental health from biasing their task assignment or performance reviews of an employee who’s disclosed a mental health challenge? To reduce the impact of stigma after a mental health disclosure, managers should acknowledge their biases, lead with curiosity, solve collaboratively, and promote a supportive work culture.
