The lamps in my house. Can you collect lamps? I think yes. Is it worth it? Probably not. But lamps are also like sculptures. They create a nice and cozy environment, and some are very functional. Check out my post about all the different lamps I have. arslan.io/2026/10/05/the-lam…

Doing some k8s stuff again, and I'm pretty excited to use some of the things I built at the company. Using plain k8s for sandboxing doesn't really work, though, so there are a lot of nuances there. But one thing is for sure: I wish there were a standard for sandbox scheduling. Back in the day we had Nomad, Mesos, Swarm, and k8s, and k8s won the race. But for agents, k8s is slow, and it feels like using a hammer for everything. I know every sandbox/VM company is building its own scheduler, its own filesystem layer to abstract sandbox storage, and so on. What if we had something like k8s, but for sandboxes? That would be cool. But OSS is also kinda dead, so it's easier and cheaper to build your own.

Finally added some Philips Hue Lily outdoor spotlights to the front garden. Four in total. This is what I see when I look outside from my office. I still need to tidy up the cabling (currently 3D printing some pegs), but I love how it turned out especially with the autumn colors.

I wish the display were 120Hz, but other than that it's really nice. I have an 11" iPad Pro, but with the keyboard it feels heavy and sometimes it doesn't make sense to bring it along with my MacBook on long trips. So I've been wanting something smaller and it looks like this might make sense to get? Does anyone have one, or has anyone switched from an 11" or 13" iPad to a iPad Mini? (of course I also want to play STS2 on this once it's out :p)

That’s the reason my TV never goes to the internet. It’s in a separate VLAN and it’s completely cut out of the internet. This is like this for years. I enable it occasionally to upgrade the FW because there were glitches with VRR (I have a Sony Bravia). And of course I use an Apple TV box and everyone in the house uses that.

I've finished about two A5 notebooks since I started journaling a few years ago. The notebook I use is the Midori MD. I write every time I want to get something off my mind. It's like X for me, but completely private, just for my own thoughts. I write about the things that make me proud, my two kids and how much I love them, the journey that got me here, my family, my wife (and her jokes), how I got my current job, and my relationships with my friends and the people I love. Sometimes it's just a photo of a watch I recently bought and why I chose it. Sometimes I add a photo of something that inspired me. Some of the pages are just scribbles and doodles. Writing does wonders for me. It's a place to be "you." It's like water flowing. o blockers, just you, your pen, and your thoughts. Definitely start writing. It's a good habit to have.

Good old times. I joined DigitalOcean in 2015, but this post is fascinating to read. Learnt a few things I wasn't even aware of.

Finally had a chance to try out this watch at my local AD. It’s beautiful and wears perfectly. I will probably hunt one once the prices go down in the second-hand market in a few years.

I told my agents to speak like the SecUnit from the Murderbot series. I love it so far.

Bu yeni Grok @Bot iOS sürümünde Türkçe dil desteği de mevcut artık. Kaçırmayın derim :)

This is a good idea. For example I have a skill that reviews some of our Kubernetes code for best practices/correctness based on my blog post planetscale.com/blog/the-fee…

Not sure what to do with this book anymore.

This is how I feel writing Rust lately.

Ankara’daki ilk Grok @Bot Meetup’i! Emre epeydir uğraşıyor bununla. Aynı zamanda @mustafaakin da geliyor. Kaçmaz. (ben malesef yokum, o haftasonu çoçuklara bir Bolu doğa gezisi sözüm var :))

Really loving this book. Glad I picked it up. It’s hilarious. You’re reading everything from an android’s point of view. But the Android is malformed, so it acts on its own. But it likes to be left alone all the time and likes to watch movies. The thought process is just pure fun. Kind of like K-2SO from Star Wars Andor. “My clients are the best clients”

Wow nice. Congrats @mdlayher @miller_joe and the team. As someone that had to use Azure at some point, I can assure this wasn't an easy task :)

Finally, we’ve brought all our products together under a single subscription! If you’re using Grok @bot, code with @cursor_ai, and spending time on @X, it’s a no-brainer. Check it out: x.ai/pricing xitter.cf/SpaceXSI/status/210978…
