I wish more VR/gamedev folks posted here instead of birdsite. I love my Mastodon feed but it's still very mastodon-focussed.

To that end: If you're posting VR and/or gamedev on the fediverse (or know someone who is), let me know! I want to follow you!

#vr #gamedev

Side note: I'd love to hear about Mastodon users who are into Kubernetes.

If you are one or know of any please let me know!

I know so much more about Kubernetes than I did a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still at the stage where I have to follow a guide to get much of anything done.

For example! If I want to automate registering SSL certs I can install a special Issuer component. To do that I use Helm, which is a package manager for K8s. I didn't even know that was a thing!

Then there are 'charts' for automating the setup of entire apps in the cluster...

The list goes on. I'm enjoying myself though!

@pixelfed I love that this exists, I've got my fingers crossedfor our success.

A couple of questions:

How are you planning on keeping the site sustainable (paying server costs, etc.)?

Can I follow folks on pixelfed from my Mastodon account? If not is that coming?

vidja.social is now running mastodon 2.4.0!

Check out the changelog here for details on new features: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.4.0

Thanks to @Gargron and all the contributors for their work on the latest release.

I'm learning about Kubernetes today, which has been made much more interesting thanks to the existence of this comic: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/kubernetes-comic/

Also! This guide/tutorial is very good and I recommend going through it if you want to know what all the fuss about infrastructure-as-code is: https://github.com/Artemmkin/infrastructure-as-code-tutorial

I'm a little disappointed that I missed registering theguns.how, I could have used welcometo.theguns.how as a Mastodon instance!

Here's a good video from DHH about a pattern for properly deleting data when a user leaves your platform: https://youtu.be/AoxoPfilKqE

It's especially valuable now with GDPR requirements looming on May 25th.

Before and after I cleaned the office coffee machine

My coffee was a little cruncher than usual this morning

Look at these silly sleepy ferrets

There's a new patch for Rainbow 6 siege today, but on the other hand the Stardew Valley multiplayer beta is now available too!

Evidence of peak gaming if ever there was any!

I've been getting back into Destiny 2 recently with @dan_menard and @carsonb.

We have a weekly Destiny night where we play through the Nightfall, some Crucible, and some public events.

Say what you like about the progression systems (I like them personally), but the movement and shooting in D2 is fantastic.

I take that back 😡

The weather is finally nice enough that I can get my bike out! This makes me very happy 😁
