  1. Folks, if you get the chance to vote #blinding #headlights back off the road, please let me encourage you.

    For too many years, marketers have run amok, pandering to ego-driven #excess #headlamp #brightness levels, while #standards agencies have slept. The #roads are more #dangerous for all of us as a result.

    Plus they bloody hurt the eyes of many of us, and have a tiresome effect, degrading overall levels of #road #safety for everyone.

  2. Gerade #headlamp für #kubernetes entdeckt und für relativ charmant befunden… um dann festzustellen, dass es in #microslop Hand ist. Und jetzt weiß ich auch nicht.

  4. Some highlights from our work on kubernetes-sigs/headlamp last year.

    kubernetes.io/blog/2026/01/22/

    It’s been a pleasure working with different folks this year and learning about all sorts of different projects. But looking forward to this year much more!

    My main work goal for this year is to **help people reduce energy use**. Let’s see how it goes🤞

  5. Review: Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 headlamp

    I started my running career using a Petzl Tikka+ headlamp that got the job done, but after a year I decided to up to a Black Diamond Spot. Both of these headlamps were solid choices and they helped me through a lot of late night and early morning runs. Yet, as the calendar keeps moving forward, and birthday after birthday passes… my aging eyes needed something more.

    Over the past year I did some browsing of different options, starting with the familiar choices from Black Diamond, Petzl, and Biolite. However, I found them all lacking in overall brightness and in battery duration. Then I spotted a Fenix headlamp at a group run, and got to experience how bright it can get. I knew that this was an option I wanted to explore.

    After a few weeks of research I opted for the Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 which is a single headband light (the straight HM65R has a band over the top of the head as well), and comes powered by a standard 18650 rechargeable battery. I’ve encountered this battery in the past in waist lights, so I knew it wasn’t something that would not be hard to find extras of. But what really impressed me was the light output options.

    I’ve included the full chart from their website, but being able to hit 1600 lumens for up to 3 hours is incredibly impressive. That level of light is overkill for most of what I need, but the ability to drop that down to 400 lumens for half a day means that I don’t need to worry about conserving battery power on long overnight efforts. I can just adjust the power up and down as needed, and get the light that I want.

    I’ve had the light for a few weeks now, and with the winter darkness setting in I’ve put it through its paces. It’s a solid lamp that does exactly what it advertises. Bright consistent light, with a decent spread in front of me. The headband is nice and wide and has a BOA-style system for tightening it. Even though the lamp is heavier (just under 5oz) than my Black Diamond it has never felt burdensome. Overall, it’s a comfortable fitting headlamp that comes right up to the edge of needing an over-the-head strap, but never goes over that line.

    Now that snow has fallen on the ground I’ve discovered my favorite feature, the warm-light mode. When doing long snow runs in the dark, the harsh white light can often tire the eyes tremendously, due to reflecting off the white snow. However, when I switch over to the warm light mode, with its yellow tint, it relieves a lot of stress on your vision. Additionally, the warm light at 800 lumens can last for 6 hours, which is plenty bright when running on snow.

    At around $100USD the Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 light is a great deal for any trail runners that want a light that feels solidly built, is comfortable, and can really pump out the lumens. I highly recommend this light and I am looking forward to many solid years of adventures with it.

  7. One feature added to kubernetes-sigs/headlamp recently is Projects. Organise resources across multiple namespaces, clusters and clouds. What some teams consider an "application" or "project" are spread out, and this lets us provide an app specific view for developers and teams. If a team uses several micro services this is useful to see all the related resources together even if they are in different namespaces, clusters or clouds.

  8. 0.38.0 adds a Custom local port dialog for Port Forwarding, Improves plugin handling with shipped/user/dev types and priority loading, Supports priorityClassName in the Helm chart, fixes Username display when Headlamp is deployed behind OAuth2Proxy and fixes a Port clash issue the Desktop Headlamp had. In the documentation there's new Learn Projects docs and Learn Local Clusters docs.

  9. Been noticing an interesting trend with some of the optimisations we've been doing to the UI. They mean a lot more to slower laptops but in relative terms of X times faster improvements they are greater on quicker laptops.

    For example, one change was 19 seconds faster but in relative terms that was 8,3x times faster on the 2025 CPU. But only 2.3x faster on the 2019 CPU (but almost a minute faster).

    The faster IO, memory and CPU make optimisations multiplicative.

  10. New UI 0.35.0 is out 🎉 With grouped CRs in the sidebar, a projects view, an optional caching feature, fixes for Mac app first start, much faster development experience, Gateway API resources are shown in map view, new OIDC options, lots of quality improvements including for accessibility and security. Plus more than can fit in this short text. Thanks to everyone for the contributions! 💡🚂

  11. Aussie for cached data:

    Having a chat about the new caching system that’s being added to

    To a New Yorker
    > Kasht Day tuh

    I replied to the bloke from London
    > Cash’d Day uh

    I code switched between different pronunciations. I realized at the end how funny that would have been to hear. But no one said anything… so.

    > Dee DAHtah wars ge-cached.
    Not even dropping some denglish phased them.

    > Deh dah-tah was cach-ed.
    With porteño flair… no reaction.

  12. The designers of this headlamp, have made sure that you have full rights to repair

    It's easily disassembled, when closed up it has the same amount of water resistance and the screws and sockets are in such a way that you can open it safely multiple times

    Rights to repair done right

  13. Review: Skilhunt H200 - an all-purpose right-angle headlamp with white and red

    The Skilhunt H200 is a midsize right-angle flashlight and headlamp with two white LEDs and one red, powered by an 18650 size Li-ion rechargeable battery recharged internally with a USB-magnetic cable. The right-angle light is perhaps the most versatile category of flashlight since it can be used as a handheld flashlight, a headlamp, clipped to gear or clothing, or attached to surfaces with its magnetic tailcap. Someone who wants one flashlight for all use cases will be well served by a light like this, as long as none of those use cases involves illuminating things much past 100m.

  14. I'm going to be at . At the maintainers summit beforehand, at the contribfest, and at the project pavilion.

    Contribfest session: kccnceu2025.sched.com/event/1t

    I'm looking forward to connecting with folks working on different projects. People have been quite busy building out Headlamp Kubernetes UIs for ecosystem tooling and standards like and

  15. If you're at #KubeCon and want to chat about #Flatcar #container #linux , #headlamp #kubernetes dashboard, or #inspektorgadget #eBPF Framework, drop by the project pavillon all day today and tomorrow until noon - you'll find our booth at the very corner near the food court / coffee table.

  16. I need to buy a headlamp for running/nordic walking. How much illuminating power do you guys recommend? 100/200/400lm?

    Ich brauche für'n Draußensport in der dunklen Jahreszeit jetzt wohl mal eine Stirnlampe. Wieviel Leuchtkraft nimmt mensch da? 100/200/400lm?
