You are correct. And yes that is kinda the whole point of the distilled models.

32b is still distilled. The full one is 671b.

Agreed, Talos or k3s are great for home clusters

My home Kubernetes cluster started out on a Core i7-920 with 8 GB of memory.

Upgraded to 16 GB memory

Upgraded to a Core i5-2400S

Upgraded to a Core i7-3770

Upgraded to 32 GB memory

Recently Upgraded to a Core i5-7600K

I think I’ll stay with that for rather long…

I did however add 2 Intel NUCs (gen 6 and gen 8) to the cluster to have a distributed control plane and some distributed storage.

Systemd?

My team is constantly looking for new technologies to make sure we’re not turning ourselves into dinosaurs. We all know that Kubernetes won’t last forever, something better will come along some day.

That being said I don’t really see the full value of Triton or Xen with unikernels… They might have a bit less performance overhead if used correctly, but then again Kubernetes on bare metal also has very little overhead.

Kubernetes is certainly comes with a learning curve, and you need to know how to manage it, but once you have Kubernetes there’s a ton of nifty benefits that appear due to the thriving community.

Need to autoscale based on some kind of queue? Just install the Keda helm chart

Running in the cloud and want the cluster to autoscale the nodes? Just install cluster-autoscaler helm chart

Want to pick up all of your logs and ship them somewhere? Just install the promtail helm chart

Need a deployment tool? Just install the ArgoCD helm chart

Need your secrets injected from some secret management solution? Just install the external-secrets helm chart

Need to vulnerability scan all the images you are using in your cluster? Just install the trivy-operator helm chart

Need a full monitoring stack? Just install the kube-prometheus-stack helm chart

Need a logging solution? Just install the loki helm chart

Need certificates? Just install the cert-manager helm chart

The true benefit of Kubernetes isn’t Kubernetes itself, but all the it’s and pieces the community has made to add value to Kubernetes.

Apology accepted, and thank you for not name calling.

And yeah, if you can save the ops team salaries by picking Heroku, then it certainly might offset the costs.

When you talk about Triton, do you mean this? Because funnily enough one of their bigger features seems to be that you can run Kubernetes on top of it. It looks pretty cool though, but I must say it was quite hard to find proper info on it.

Triton also seem to push for containerization quite heavily, and especially Docker… So when you talk about Triton are you suggesting to use the Infrastructure Containers or Virtual Machines instead?

I’m not quite sure what you are getting at… Are you implying that I’m autistic because I only have 10 pods in a Kubernetes cluster?

Presently our clusters run roughly 1400 pods, and at this scale there certainly are benefits to using something like Kubernetes.

If your project is small enough to make sense on Heroku, then that’s awesome, but at some point Heroku stops making sense… both for managing at scale, and costs. Heroku already seems to be 2-4x as expensive as AWS on-demand. Presently we’re investigating moving out of AWS and into a datacenter, as it seems that we can reduce our costs by at least an order of magnitude.

The right tool for the right job.

I agree that many small businesses jump to Kube too early. If your entire app is a monolith and maybe a few supplementary services, then Kube is massive overkill.

But many people also tend to overlook all of the other benefits that suddenly become very easy to add when you already have Kube, such as a common way to collect logs and metrics, injecting instrumentation, autoscaling, automated certificate handling, automated DNS management, encrypting internal network traffic, deployment tools that practically works out of the box, and of course immutable declarative deployments.

Of course you can build all of this yourself, when you need it, but once you have the foundation up and running, it becomes quite easy to just add a helm chart and suddenly have a new capability.

In my opinion, when the company it big enough to need a dedicated ops team, then it’s big enough to benefit from Kube.

On slow terminals k9s can be rather sluggish when scrolling through the lists

It seems to me that any legislation could easily carve out an exemption for any special editions, only applying to the “regular” version.

Jellyfin has supported Music and TV shows since the start

Yes, but Google would not have done that if nobody used Firefox

Am Danish. This is fairly accurate, a solid 60% of Danish is just random guttural sounds. This documentary however misses that the remainder is 30% raw deadpan sarcasm, and 10% English words pronounced in an awful accent.

To contrast and compare, this is an average modern Swedish television quiz show: https://youtu.be/lzv6ljgwgzs

Agree on both parts, but the second part can still be achieved from an unconnected car, you just can’t do it remotely

IPv6 does not require you to open your machine to the Internet, even without making use of a NAT. Sure you get an IP that’s valid on the whole internet, but that doesn’t mean that anyone can send you traffic.

Are these restrictions set out by the ISP or the dorm?

If you don’t do business with the ISP, then you don’t have to agree to and follow their terms.

So as long as the dorms doesn’t have rules against setting up your own WiFi, then you should be well within your rights to purchase an Internet connection from another provider, but since you are likely not allowed to get your own line installed, you are probably restricted to ISPs that provide a service over the cellular network.

Of course using a cellular connection will give you worse latencies for online games, but at least you can have your own WiFi with low latency for your VR.

If you want to be nice, you could then run as much of your Internet network over ethernet as possible, so you congest the air waves as little as possible, possibly only running the VR headset over WiFi, and maybe even only enabling the WiFi radio when you want to play VR. If all your WiFi devices support 5GHz, you might also completely disable your 2.4GHz WiFi, to leave the most congested frequencies alone.

To lower the chance of someone complaining about your WiFi, you should configure it as a “hidden network”, such that it doesn’t broadcast an SSID, and therefore doesn’t show up when people are looking for WiFi networks to connect to.

It kinda depends a bit on the user’s background… For someone who is used to windows and how computers in general works, I would probably agree with you.

But for people who are more phone/tablet native, I don’t think something like Fedora Silverblue is actually that bad of a choice. It comes natively with Gnome 3, which isn’t too dissimilar to Android or iOS. Updates are installed in one fell swoop with a reboot, just like Android or iOS. Flatpaks behave much more like an App on Android or iOS, they are self contained, and don’t affect eachother.

I just set up my daughters (9 y/o) first school laptop, and picked Fedora Silverblue, and apart from learning about the save icon, and learning how to store files in a filesystem, she was pretty much instantaneously functional, having most of her prior computing experience on an Android phone.

I really don’t see much benefit to running two clusters.

I’m also running single clusters with multiple ingress controllers both at home and at work.

If you are concerned with blast radius, you should probably first look into setting up Network Policies to ensure that pods can’t talk to things they shouldn’t.

There is of course still the risk of something escaping the container, but the risk is rather low in comparison. There are options out there for hardening the container runtime further.

You might also look into adding things that can monitor the cluster for intrusions or prevent them. Stuff like running CrowdSec on your ingresses, and using Falco to watch for various malicious behaviour.
