"The Observatory Headquarters recorded hourly rainfall of 158.1 mm between 11 pm last night and midnight, which was the highest record since 1884."

... where "highest record since 1884" of course means "the highest ever recorded".

@Amanibhavam ur-Lord Thanks for asking! I'm really going off limited info here as computingforgeeks.com/k0s-vs-k… lists a bunch of specifics for k0s but just says k3s is secure.

Does k3s support OIDC in the other direction as a relying party?

The mRNA vaccine used here is BioNTech. They have released a statement similar to that from Moderna, that BA.2.86 is well covered.

I haven't been keeping up with this, but apparently people were initially very worried about this BA.2.86, a descendant of BA.2 which I seem to remember contributed to one of the waves here and which is itself an Omicron descendant.

However, BA.2.86 turned out milder than feared in practice and instead it seems a strain called EG.5 is a major driving strain. Existing serums and coming vaccines seem to be covering the latest strains relatively well.

It seems they're both trivial to set up. The k0s website contains an asciinema clip which shows downloading, setting up, running, stopping and cleaning up k0s in a few minutes.

k3s is a third of the size. I'm not sure, but I think the difference in features is that k0s supports more "full k8s" auth options and clustering. Or does k3s support clustering too?

k0s runs its control processes on itself, as pods, which is surreal and/or neat. Maybe k3s does too, I don't know.

Just heard of k0s. Like k3s it's a Kubernetes distribution in a single binary, but this one is from Mirantis.

Currently Japan is the target of tropical storm "Yun-Yeung".

"What, like the hot drink?", I thought.

Yes:

> Apart from the name Lionrock, Hong Kong has submitted names such as Yun-yeung, which is a species of duck. It is also the name of a popular drink in the city’s cha chaan tengs that mixes coffee and milk tea.

My latest covid illness or vaccination was when I was ill in late May. That means I'll look at getting a vaccination in late November. Will the updated vaccines be out by then? I didn't click to check which stage trial the linked post talking about.

The company usually vaccinates against flu around that time. I wonder if they'll do both this time.

♲ @GottaLaff@mastodon.social: Get vaccinated. 💉

“#Moderna on Wednesday said clinical trial data showed its updated #COVID-19 #vaccine will likely be effective against the highly-mutated BA.2.86 subvariant of the coronavirus that has raised fears of a resurgence of infections.”
