Managing Microk8s and Regular Clusters by Merging Configs

After we install the snap of microk8s, we notice that the default .kube/config is not there, furthermore we need to use the microk8s.kubectl binary to access it.

Writing Better With Vim

How are we to write better quality texts, faster? The spectrum of assistant programs that aid us in writing texts has increased dramatically. From Word itself that has an outstanding grammar checker bundled in, to grammarly, or more into the command line tools diction and vim, the choices seem endless.
