musl libc 1.2.4 – now with TCP fallback in DNS resolver
The no-tcp fallback discussion has come up a few times on HN. Maybe that will unbreak some Kube clusters or at least remove the need for some workarounds.
I just upgraded one of my nameservers and the kernel is 6.1.27-2 was 5.15.109-0 previously. Upgrade appears to have gone fine. A few sysctl's deprecated. Nice and boring, the way I like it.
Alpine also runs on ARM platforms, and by using musl instead of glibc it consumes a lot less resources, at the price of some (thankfully rare) incompatibilities here and there.

Had heard of Alpine and used it plenty for containers, yet hadn't heard of Clear Linux before. Nowadays I just use Ubuntu for my container images (due to the same environment as my dev machine which simplifies things for me), but there's also a lot of benefit and elegance in more lightweight alternatives.
