Podcasts about live support

With John sidelined by legal wrangling, Josh Martin becomes the first ever fill-in host of the Wedge LIVE podcast. We start by discussing the recent targeted attacks on DFL state legislators and the assassination of House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.Then Josh gets the full story from Taylor and John about being exonerated in campaign finance court. Ward 12 City Council candidate Becka Thompson and her sidekick Carol Becker thought they could bully Taylor and John by falsely accusing them of creating a website making fun of Thompson's campaign. But the state Campaign Finance Board wasted no time in deciding there was nothing to investigate.Plus, Taylor has the scoop on the latest campaign finance filings from PACs aligned with Mayor Frey.Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

In deze aflevering van De Nederlandse Kubernetes Podcast spreken hosts Ronald Kers (CNCF Ambassador) en Jan Stomphorst (Solutions Architect bij ACC ICT) met Evelien Schellekens, Solutions Architect bij Elastic. We ontmoeten haar tijdens een live opname op de Veluwe, waar de sfeer informeel en energiek is – een perfecte setting voor een spontaan en inhoudelijk gesprek over Kubernetes, logging, observability en certificering.Van astronautendroom naar Kubernetes-certificeringen Evelien vertelt hoe haar IT-carrière begon met het open schroeven van computers samen met haar vader. Inmiddels heeft ze haar sporen verdiend met meerdere Kubernetes-certificeringen – vier in drie dagen tijd! Ze deelt haar aanpak, hoe ze zich voorbereidt, waarom AI soms helpt (en soms juist niet), en wat haar dreef om zich in recordtempo te certificeren.Elastic: meer dan Elasticsearch Ze legt uit hoe Elastic geëvolueerd is tot een veelzijdig Search AI Platform met drie hoofdoplossingen:Search: van productzoekmachines tot document indexingObservability: metrics, logs, tracing, profilingSecurity: SIEM, endpoint protection en anomaly detectionElastic draait perfect op Kubernetes met behulp van de Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) operator. We bespreken best practices zoals het gebruik van CRD's, het vermijden van single points of failure, en waarom drie master nodes het minimum zijn voor een productiecluster.Logging zonder sidecars Een interessant deel van het gesprek gaat over logging: hoe je zonder sidecars volledige observability kunt realiseren via agents zoals Filebeat of Elastic Agent. Evelien legt uit hoe je debug-logging onder controle houdt met ingest pipelines en log-retentiebeleid, en waarom sommige developers nét iets te enthousiast debug inschakelen.De toekomst: OpenTelemetry Volgens Evelien ligt de toekomst van observability in OpenTelemetry, een CNCF-project dat snel aan populariteit wint. Net zoals Kubernetes nu de standaard is voor container orchestration, ziet zij OpenTelemetry als de aanstaande standaard voor vendor-neutrale observability én security-integratie.Eindconclusie Evelien combineert technische diepgang met een heldere uitleg van concepten. Of het nu gaat om logbeheer, schaalbaarheid op Kubernetes, of de rol van Elastic binnen moderne DevOps-praktijken – deze aflevering zit vol praktische inzichten én een flinke dosis energie.Stuur ons een bericht.Dutch Cloud Native Day 2025Koop je tickets met kortingscode: Community30 en ontvang 30% korting! https://acc-ict.com/liveSupport the showLike and subscribe!

You may remember Samuel Doten as the authority figure wielding a tiny gavel in the face of an unruly crowd who stormed the stage at the 2023 Ward 10 DFL convention in Minneapolis. Last Saturday he returned to the elementary school auditorium where it happened. His role this year: leader of a crack team of sergeants-at-arms policing misbehavior at the 2025 convention.

We begin with a report from Taylor Dahlin on yesterday's federal law enforcement raid of a restaurant on Lake Street. With dozens of officers from ICE, DEA, FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, along with the participation of local cops from Hennepin County and MPD. Many of the feds were masked and dressed for combat, drawing a crowd of protesters who assumed it was an immigration raid. Then Taylor, John and Josh offer analysis on results of the Minneapolis DFL endorsement process that wrapped up over the weekend. Who got North Korea Numbers? Which races will be competitive heading into the general election? Why are residents of wards 7 and 10 so especially angry?We also talk about the new poll showing a significant decline in Mayor Frey's popularity since 2021. Plus, Taylor and John commiserate over having to shop for "job interview clothes" now that they are the subject of a frivolous legal proceeding.Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

In this episode, we dive into a topic that many teams only start paying attention to when it's already too late: Garbage Collection in Java microservices. And we do so together with Usama Nasir, Staff Software Engineer at GetYourGuide.While you might think Kubernetes solves everything, Usama shares how his team at GetYourGuide was still caught off guard by mysterious Out of Memory errors. The culprit? Microservices may be small, but that doesn't mean Java's memory management just takes care of itself.We talk about how Java's memory model really works, why different garbage collectors (like G1GC or ZGC) perform completely differently under pressure, and how small decisions can have a big impact on performance. Usama explains how observability with tools like Datadog turned out to be essential, and why sometimes it's actually smarter to allocate less memory to your containers.But the most important takeaway? Garbage Collection isn't just “a Java thing.” It's a shared responsibility between developers and DevOps/SREs. Only together can you find that sweet spot between speed, stability, and scalability.-----------In deze aflevering duiken we samen met Usama Nasir, Staff Software Engineer bij GetYourGuide, in een onderwerp dat in veel teams pas aandacht krijgt als het al te laat is: Garbage Collection in Java microservices.Hoewel je misschien denkt dat Kubernetes alles oplost, vertelt Usama hoe zijn team bij GetYourGuide tóch werd verrast door mysterieuze Out of Memory-errors. Wat bleek? Microservices mogen dan klein zijn, maar dat betekent niet dat Java's geheugenhuishouding vanzelf goed gaat.We praten over hoe Java's memory model echt werkt, waarom verschillende garbage collectors (zoals G1GC of ZGC) totaal anders presteren onder druk, en hoe kleine keuzes grote impact hebben op performance. Usama legt uit hoe observability met tools als Datadog onmisbaar bleek, en waarom het soms slimmer is om minder geheugen toe te kennen aan je containers.Maar het belangrijkste inzicht? Garbage Collection is geen “Java-dingetje”. Het is een verantwoordelijkheid van zowel developers als DevOps/SRE's.

In deze aflevering spreken Ronald Kers (CNCF Ambassador) en Jan Stomphorst (Solutions Architect bij ACC ICT) met Alain van Hoof, HPC-specialist bij de TU Eindhoven. Alain in bouwde zijn eigen Kubernetes-cluster letterlijk from scratch, in zijn meterkast. Geen managed cloud, geen helm, geen kubeadm—maar pure nieuwsgierigheid, Marktplaats-hardware en een flinke dosis liefde voor technologie.We duiken diep in de technische keuzes die hij maakte: van het gebruik van Alpine Linux tot het zelf bouwen van zijn service mesh, NFS, monitoring met Prometheus en zelfs zijn eigen Ceph-cluster. Alles met het doel om te snappen hoe Kubernetes écht werkt, inclusief het managen van certificaten, DNS-problemen en custom container runtimes als CRI-O.Een aflevering vol anekdotes, technische diepgang en het bewijs dat je met een beetje doorzettingsvermogen zelfs een enterprise-achtige setup in je meterkast kunt bouwen.

We're reviewing five years of Minneapolis politics since George Floyd's murder with guest D.A. Bullock. We pick apart the records of two very different police chiefs - Medaria Arradondo and Brian O'Hara. We talk about the backlash to the backlash: fear politics is bigger than ever in 2025. Minneapolis has two PACs aligned with Mayor Frey using crime as a wedge to get us to vote for candidates who reject the idea of any renter and worker protections. John tells the story of how this political agitation led to the most Minneapolis thing he's ever witnessed: seeing Walter Mondale's son get shoved by a rich dick at the Ward 7 DFL Convention. We get D.A.'s thoughts on why we need a new mayor; what he thinks of candidates DeWayne Davis and Omar Fateh; we discuss how remarkable it is that Emily Koski was tagged with being too DSA before being run out of the race; and we find out what bothers D.A. about local news coverage. Most importantly, we learn what D.A. is an acronym for.Unfortunately this episode was recorded before Chief Brian O'Hara made comments about the ‘bourgeois liberal mentality' in Minneapolis. Imagine the fun we could've had with that.Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

My conversation with Damla Erten, owner of Sencha Tea Bar and founder of the Uptown Community Coalition, about her opposition to the creation of a business improvement district for Uptown. The push for a BID comes from the Uptown Association, which represents their member businesses in the area. Damla says the problem with a BID is that it gets voted on only by property owners, not by renters or businesses that lease their spaces, and amounts to an extra tax smaller businesses can't afford. And even if the services live up to what's being advertised, some of them are so basic they should already be covered by regular property taxes. We also get into Uptown transportation politics and the Hennepin Avenue reconstruction.For more on the Uptown Community Coalition: https://www.instagram.com/uccmpls/Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

For years Mark Lanterman has been a go-to expert on tech-based crimes and scams, both on local news and in courtrooms. Now people are asking, was Minnesota's king of digital forensics sitting on a throne of lies?In an exclusive interview, I spoke with Wisconsin-based lawyer Sean Harrington, who's turned up a trove of evidence calling into question Lanterman's credentials and affiliations. To list just a few of Harrington's discoveries:-"Lanterman didn't complete postgrad studies at Harvard University. Rather, he attended an 8-week 'Online short course' administered through GetSmarter® in 2018."-Lanterman claimed to “serve on the Sedona Conference's Steering Committee on Artificial Intelligence and the Law" before that particular committee even existed. And the executive director confirmed Lanterman currently holds no leadership position.-Lanterman's biographies and sworn statements claim affiliation with the US Secret Service for periods ranging from 3, 5, 8, 11, and 29 years. Perhaps most damning of all: Lanterman's sudden interest in his old personnel file from the 1990s. After being challenged about his credentials in a deposition on February 11, Lanterman traveled to a suburban Philadelphia police station on February 14, told the police chief he had a terminal heart condition and needed to view his old employee file. He took the file home and never sent it back, much to the consternation of the police chief. What was in that file?There's more in Harrington's thoroughly documented write-up on his website: https://seanharringtonlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-03_deepfakeexperts_.pdfWatch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

Bill Lindeke says there is no trash emergency in St Paul. Pay no attention to Mayor Carter's declaration of a state of emergency. We talk about disagreement over the future of a piece of land that Mayor Carter and the city's trash hauler say must be used for a garbage truck staging facility. We talk about why the council sided with neighbors who say the city should stick with the plan to designate the land for housing at the site on West 7th and Randolph near the Mississippi River. Then we check in on St Paul politics in a mayoral election year.

Elliott Payne reflects on his first two years as President of the Minneapolis City Council. We talk about the stakes of this year's city election; the recent surge of corporate money and PACs trying to influence the results; an assessment of the city's public safety situation; and why he both loves and hates being the man in the middle of all those complicated personal relationships on the council. Payne tells me work on a rent stabilization policy is still happening; I ask if we really want to put ourselves through the St Paul experience. And we talk about the strange absence of Mayor Frey from the public conversation about setbacks in his own administration -- like mismanagement of the Neighborhood Safety Department. I ask him to endorse a mayoral candidate, and he dodges my question by saying he likes three of them not named Frey.Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

Mary Moriarty joins John for a conversation reflecting on her first two years as Hennepin County Attorney. We talk about navigating politics as an elected prosecutor; her approach to a recent spate of reckless driving and vehicular homicide cases; how to fix the problem of extremely low rates of police solving certain crimes; her occasionally strained relationship with Chief O'Hara; how we went from a commitment to reform in 2020 to a hypersensitivity and anger over any police criticism in 2025; how to ensure systemic change enacted under her leadership are durable and lasting; and much more.John expresses frustration about the case of state trooper Ryan Londregan, who shot and killed Ricky Cobb. Why is more attention not being paid to the fact it was a botched traffic stop? Is Governor Walz doing anything to ensure the state police receive proper training?

Caucus season is almost upon us. It's your chance to become a superlobbyist and wield influence with local candidates on behalf of the issues you care about. Josh Martin joins John to talk about why you need to get involved and why there's no reason to feel intimidated by the process.We're talking about the story of the unsuspecting flower shop owner who says she had little interest in politics for most of her adult life, until the county started planning the reconstruction of Lyndale Avenue. Before you know it, in 2024, she had made a donation to MAGA (the Republican party of Minnesota). Then in 2025 she's running a local PAC (We Love Minneapolis), teaming up with Mayor Frey's former campaign manager, with a mission is to turn people out to the DFL caucus. Is this raising any red flags?We're also talking about the violence interrupting preacher Jerry McAfee who threatened violence against members of the city council; then made dramatic pronouncements about how he doesn't preach non-violence; but was nonetheless all set to receive a $640,000 contract for violence interruption work -- until two of his violence interrupters were arrested for their actions during a shootout.And a stupid human interest story: A Minneapolis firefighter is running for city council. But along the way he'll be forced to overcome the fact that he plagiarized a portion of his website from a candidate running for city council in a different ward. Complicating matters, he forgot to delete the other candidate's name from the plagiarized text.We'll also be taking a look at candidates for mayor and city council, with a particular focus on the competitive wards.Information on the April 8 Minneapolis DFL caucuses: https://minneapolisdfl.org/Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

The Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce (yes, that's right the campaign to change the charter was 100% funded by the Chamber) said said we had to rid ourselves of the 14 bosses holding us back and creating internal confusion at city hall. Council Member Jeremiah Ellison's career spans both the four years prior and the four years after government restructuring. He says the new structure is what's stalling progress on big issues like homeless encampments. He saw passage of the 2040 Plan under a council-driven system and says the collaborative dynamic that produced that nationally-heralded housing policy wouldn't be possible today. We talk about the way things are, the way they used to be, and why he decided his time is up after eight years representing Ward 5 in North Minneapolis.

My conversation with Sen. John Marty (Roseville) about an effort in the state legislature to legalize sports gambling apps: the recent failure to pass the bill out of committee and what that means for its prospects in 2025; why anyone who's lived through the last 15 years of smartphones and social media would think it's a good idea to set tech companies free to unleash 24/7 pocket casinos; the extensive and compelling studies that have measured an increase in human misery in the 30 states that have legalized gambling apps (30% increase in bankruptcies, increased domestic violence, decreased savings); the fact that the only organized advocates for legalization are gambling interests who stand to profit; and how this is not like the debate over cannabis legalization.Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

“If they can't find you, they can't pay you.” For any business, visibility is essential. In this episode, May Yeo Silvers gets straight to the heart of why many entrepreneurs struggle with sales, breaking it down into three core reasons that often go unnoticed.     Are you making it easy for potential clients to discover your business? Sporadic social media posts or a static website aren't enough. May challenges listeners to think about whether their marketing is consistent, aligned with their personality, and actually reaching the right audience.     May also asks: Are you speaking to the people who truly need and value your services? Selling to the wrong crowd—or worse, failing to address your clients' core needs—could be why you're not closing deals.     This isn't about doing more; it's about doing it smarter. Drawing from her extensive experience in the events industry, May shares actionable insights and real-world examples, offering clarity and solutions for these common pitfalls. Ready to refine your approach and connect with your ideal clients? Tune in and take the first step!   Quotes • “You need consistent marketing, and it's important to find a marketing style that suits your personality. In my ‘Events4Anyone' Facebook group, I shared a tutorial on choosing a marketing strategy based on your resources—whether you have more time or money—and your personality type. Evaluating these factors helps you develop a consistent strategy to let people know you have something to sell. Remember, if they can't find you, they can't pay you.” (03:41 | May Yeo Silvers) • “If you're selling the product to the wrong people, they may not see the need for it right now. Without a strategy to entice them to buy now, they also might not see that what you're offering is something they actually want. Additionally, they may not be able to afford it, or your price could be too high. They might want your service and want it now, but if your pricing is wrong, that could be a barrier.” (05:39 | May Yeo Silvers) • “In order to upsell, you must first satisfy their core needs, then you upsell your other services that you can very confidently speak about.” (27:46 | May Yeo Silvers)   Links If knowing how to sell is your Achilles heel, check out our FREE private facebook group: Events4Anyone-A-Z guide to help you start and grow your events business.
