Tip: openshift hosts some versions of Helm binary
mirror.openshift.com/pub/ope…
How in 2025 Helm can't attach their binaries (without tar.gz) to GitHub release assets??
It's a CI/CD tool for god's sake
For anyone wondering about get.helm.sh being down, this appears to be related to the broader outage with the Azure CDN network (which Helm uses). For example, this is microsoft.com right now.
Someone is having a very bad day.
If you use k8s, besides deploying a Container Registry mirror like Zot or Harbor (cant recommend Harbor though) in general, consider also deploying P2P image registry like Spegel
It allows k8s nodes download images from each other, k3s has built-in support for Spegel
Absolutely tragic loss for the country and his family.
Charlie did a lot for the USA and was committed to its prosperity despite everything & unlike anyone else.
I loved listening to Charlie's debates even though I disagreed with ~30%
Devastating. Rest in Peace, Charlie Kirk.

Accountant & LLMs say SAFE > loan or APIC (no new shares).
Never used SAFEs, any tips?
@ycombinator crowd, VCs, founders: advice on pitfalls, terms, or alternatives?
$5T more debt will suck so much, basically another COVID for economy
Inflation will crash so many households.
There is no stopping Decline of the Western Civilization pursued by both left and right, is there?

Hey Tesla, specifically @Cybertruck team
We got good snow today in Colorado, but headlights and wipers totally prevent safe driving of this great drivetrain
Something has to be done:
- Auto Wiper software rewrite/retrain
- Wiper blade mount rework
- Headlights flush with Frunk
Maybe don’t regulate next time?

This must change.

These were his tires.
Btw @Cybertruck mountain snow off-road efficiency on 15psi tires in these cold temperatures isn't bad at all
And the cabin is the warmest best sealed among many other cars including different @Tesla s I've driven in bitter cold.
I wish there was a simple heat-up battery button while on charger so I could pump more heat into the battery before going out, I try to time home charging to achieve this effect but Cybertruck battery is just so big it barely warms up from that.
The FSD however is mind-blowingly bad in snowstorm on highway, @Tesla_AI it needs to keep bigger distance from traffic when it's heavy snowing and bitter cold with ice on road, it needs NOT to change lanes "randomly" crossing into ice & snow, it needs not to bump the speed from 55mph everyone is going due to poor conditions to 80mph.
Cybertruck's drivetrain is definitely capable off-road, I was roaming on unmaintained winter mountain road yesterday, aired down I only had to use lockers to pull a minivan stuck there — didn't even feel the load.
Suspension travel in off-road mode is massive even at lowest "Very High" setting not to mention "Extraction mode" — it becomes hard to climb in-out the truck haha.
Now to the minivan story: idk what is it with some people, but I found this dude with 3 kids in it stuck for an hour after they PASSED me flying…
Absolutely dead tires with steel cord visible, 7 miles up the mountain, 1/4 of a tank, 8F, sun sets in less than an hour, no service, heavy snowfall, unpaved local mountain road with clear "Not Maintained in Winter" sign.
He said GPS told him it was faster and he kept going and going till he couldn't… . Toyota Sienna didn't even have any towing points, I had to use soft-shackle on a wheel.
2 minutes later he slid again into a bigger ditch and we had to wait for an old man with winch.
Glad I had kettle with me, coffee, tea, some food. Our dog played with his kids to keep them relaxed.
But it was no fun tbh, I pulled him to the side and had to do a reality check talk, it could have ended very badly.
Once we got him out 2nd time we figured it's better to drag him remaining 4 miles up, because going down on these tires you can easily end up off the cliff with no ability to properly brake or turn.
Btw, I now got 110V workshop compressor that I just plug in to the bed outlet, finally a decent 3.5 minutes from 15psi to 45psi on a 35 inch tire, but I need a high-flow pressure regulator now to avoid babysitting the inflation process w/o inflation speed.
Deepseek R1 is very cool, 32b model at home is very close to O1 experience: doubts itself, figures out corner cases of own solutions, fits 24GB GPU
But there is mild censorship to say the least haha
This is so big
Simple decision:
freedom of speech, TikTok is awful but it shouldn’t be banned.
