My favorite session at the #devopscamp was the one from Markus Kostrzewski from #hetzner showing the Nvidia HGX B300 beasts they run for their inference service and their problems with long delivery times and power constraints (15kW each). Best bang for the buck he says, just 400K€ a piece.
My takeaways from #devopscamp:
- Crossplane is 👍️ It feels like CloudFormation because it corrects configuration drift, but it’s cloud-agnostic.
- Mise + .env + taskfile.dev is the sweet way to go to setup and manage projects
- Local AI is useful and practical if you bought the hardware a few years ago. It will be huge once RAM becomes affordable again, probably by 2028.
- I find Mobile Backhaul tech cool because it feels close to my heart

I presented this topic at Seneca.camp last weekend.
I look forward to buying boards with cooked models. Please somebody do it and take my money. Extra romantic if the form factor matches the old nes\snes game cartridges. Today, well qwen 3.8 27b at high token speed is going to be another game changer https://www.cerebras.ai/
Terrific comment read on HN "I’ve seen it happen with so many products I used that I only use open-source now. And if the feature is small, I just build it myself. In your bread example, open-source is the ultimate cookbook and chefs who understand that cookbook can out cook the best chefs out there."
German has the term 'workation': working remotely from a nicer place. It sounds English but it is not a proper English term. It is also a very weird construction because in german you create words mashing full words together, but here a word is chopped in half!
I was served spaghetti carbonara made with cream IN ITALY. So so disappointing. Every nonna in town would demand a prison sentence.
