My other side project ( https://webtastic.ai ) has become my main work now since it has grown quickly since the last time I posted on HN

#132https://sre.rs - DevOps course for small companies and individuals/self-hosters. I’ve posted this previously, but it’s been more than a year since I published the course and it’s still right about $500/mon.

#133During my previous job, when we were migrating to Kubernetes I couldn’t really find a GUI app that I liked, and most importantly, that could connect to multiple clusters simultaneously.

#134I got annoyed that my MacBook case would slightly buzz when plugged in, so I worked with a factory to make these grounded Apple adapters: https://www.amazon.com/Grounded-Duckhead-Apple-Mac-Adapter/d...
