I know, it is true, the front lines have 50+ year olds, no doubt. Ukraine hasn't dipped into the pool yonger than 25 yet, this is the conscription age while orcs have sent 18 year olds to die for their tsar already. Ukraine also allowed 18 to 22 year old males to exit the country, over 45 thousand left to Poland. None of this changes what I said.

The bad news is that the Google-maintained ingress-nginx is being deprecated. It was a functional and sane default that didn't have all the bells-and-whistles, but just proxied traffic.

The good news is that because the ingress definition for your apps are just API objects, any other ingress is more-or-less completely compatible with your ingress object as long as they aren't going off the deep end with custom resource definitions and such. For example, you can use the F5 NGINX Ingress Controller, maintained by NGINX for something that would be basically 1:1 - you would just need to add an `ingressClass: nginx` (or whatever the proper value for your chosen ingress controller) field to the YAML that defines the ingress (it may already be there) to tell it to use the new controller.

Because you're using microk8s, it might be interesting to know that other readymade-k8s solutions like k3s default to using Traefik, which does allow for some more interesting routing options without the full complexity of a service mesh.

It's very likely that now that Google has officially shut this project, the next builds of things like microk8s will just swap out their default ingress controller and call it a day.

The whole idea of building one's reputation through the fear among neighbors and the world in general should have died out after WWII. Territorial gains and colonization don't mean squat any more. The losers of that war went on to build great cars, cameras and other machinery within their own borders. Russia needs to figure this out. If they can't excel at home, why do they think that more land will help?

Everything they do is acting and pandering for the cameras.

Because the people with the cameras (or now social media services) set it up to be that way. Our politicians have to spend an entire year campaigning to obtain or hang on to their seat. And do do that, they have to pay the publicity gate-keepers. Dearly.

Hence the need to accumulate massive war chests of $$. Just to remain in the public view. And the processes to do so invites massive corruption and ass-kissing of wealthy special interests.

Our election system was designed when candidates had to ride on horseback and then steam trains from town to town to rally the public behind them. Today, that news travels at the speed of Starlink. But the news outlets need to keep it stretched out to maximize their income.

F* the news outlets.
