A fresh pattern’s gaining traction:Docker + Tailscale sidecarsreplacing old-school reverse proxies and clunky VPNs. Each service runs as its ownmesh-routed node, containerized and independent. The trick?Network namespace sharing.App containers hook into the Tailscale mesh with no exposed ports, no ..

Kubernetes Observability: Pillars, Tools & Best Practices

Kubernetes observability isn’t just about catching metrics or tailing logs. It’s about stitching togethermetrics, logs, and tracesto see what’s actually happening—across services, over time, and through the chaos. Thing is, Kubernetes doesn’t come with this built in. So teams hack together toolchai..

Accessing the Kubernetes API from SQL Server 2025

SQL Server 2025 rolls outspinvokeexternalrestendpoint, a new way to hit REST APIs straight from T-SQL. That includes calling the Kubernetes API—thanks to a reverse proxy in front. The setup’s not exactly plug-and-play. You’ll need custom TLS certs, an nginx reverse proxy, and Kubernetes RBAC to kee..

Kubernetes Will Solve YAML Headaches with KYAML

Kubernetes is eyeing a YAML remix. Version 1.34 may bring inKYAML—a stricter, YAML-compatible subset built to cut down on sloppy configs and sneaky formatting bugs. KYAML keeps the good parts: comments, trailing commas, unquoted keys. But it dumps YAML’s whitespace drama. Existing manifests and Hel..

Did you know you can clap for someone’s content up to 50 times on Medium?

Well, you can.

And to protect you from carpal tunnel syndrome, I packaged that behavior into a little extension for Chrome.

It works like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN3soEz-5Z4

Open up your developer tools (right-click & choose inspect)

Then, navigate to the “console”:

And if you have a bunch of caca (that’s Spanish for 💩) in your Console you can click the little 🚫 icon to clear it:

Then:

copy the JavaScript code below
paste it into the Console area
press the Return key

and spread the clap!

(Scroll up to the top of this article before you press enter if you want to see it in action)

let clapButton = document.querySelector('button[data-testid="headerClapButton"]');
if (clapButton) {
const events = ['mousedown', 'mouseup', 'click'];

async function performClap() {
for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
events.forEach(eventType => {
let event = new MouseEvent(eventType, {
'view': window,
'bubbles': true,
'cancelable': true
});
clapButton.dispatchEvent(event);
});
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10)); // Introducing a 10ms delay between claps
}
console.log("+50 Claps! Now, go join the SERP community!");
}

performClap();
} else {
console.log("Clap button not found!");
}

Want the extension?

I submitted the extension to the Chrome app store and it’s pending approval as of this writing…

But if you’re too excited to sit around when you could be clappin’ it up — you’re welcome to grab the bootleg here:
