+- I'm not feeling good about the future of GitHub
+  - https://red-squares.cian.lol/
+  - I have a bunch of repos I'd like to migrate off of GitHub
+  - One small problem: all my CI flows assume I'm using GitHub Actions
+    - I mean this is reasonable, I've used GitHub Actions for most of my career
+    - All my GitHub Actions flows only really work on GitHub
+    - I've moved some of them off of GitHub in the past, but it requires some significant modification and hacking because my actions really rely on GitHub platform features
+  - Recently I discovered [Tekton](https://tekton.dev/)
+    - Tekton is a kubernetes operator that lets you create CI/CD systems on top of Kubernetes clusters
+    - I have a lot of slack compute in my homelab cluster
+    - I want to see what it's like to use Tekton for CI/CD instead of GitHub Actions
+    - Tekton is also supported by [Tack](https://tangled.org/mitchellh.com/tack), a Tangled -> non-Nix CI bridge
+    - If I do in fact choose to not move my repos to Tangled long-term, moving the CI to Tekton means that my CI workflows will be fundamentally vendor-neutral, which will have knock-on effects that make me more resilient to enshittification in the future
+- Tekton in a nutshell
+  - Think about Tekton as the layer _under_ something like GitHub Actions.
+    - It uses Kubernetes for scheduling, storage, networking, logging, and other orchestration
+    - CI/CD jobs are broken out into the following categories:
+      - Tasks: individual bits of work to be done, akin to function definitions
+      - TaskRuns: binding between Tasks and parameters / workspaces, akin to function invocation
+      - Pipeline: A sequence of tasks that may or may not be ordered, akin to function definitions
+      - PipelineRun: binding between Pipelines and parameters / workspaces, akin to function invocation
+- A simple pipeline from Kefka
+  - Fix permissions on the PVC with repo clone
+    - Why?
+  - Clone repo
+  - Go tests
+  - Shared Go mod cache PVC
+    - Why?
+  - Docker image building
+- Docker image building
+  - Setting up automatic builds for ChainGuard's fork of Kaniko
+  - `go build` exiting with a vague VCS error
