Pretty sure kubernetes is more like an addiction than a hobby I've never heard of anyone actually enjoying themselves while using it
I really do love it. But to be fair, I should probably also be in therapy.
I really enjoy using the k8s clusters at work, but iam not the one running them to be fair :D
I have good news!?
...This isn't a particularly gendered problem.
Ikr? I have a small pile of PoE pis running a bunch of self hosted stuff
Maybe building the cluster is the therapy?
Can confirm.
Source: I have a beegfs storage cluster at home.
HEY. technically I'm a woman now
I'm in this meme and I don't like it
What if I go to therapy and still do the kubernetes thing?
you have enough money for 2 k8s clusters?
Oh I get it now, the other k8s cluster IS the therapist. That's funny. And not at all an accurate description of my life. Anyway, I have a cronjob—I mean appointment—to get to.
And therapy??
Unfortunately, that is not how therapy works.
Unfortunately we’ll have to put you down like a horse with a broken leg
Then you're kicking ass at life, that's what.
Literally me lol
Are you the Dell or the Kubernetes :P
Obviously the sticky note
Those dell optiplexes aren't gonna reuse themselves.
Note says "Totally not a K3s cluster"
K8s (short for kubernetes)
K3s is a Rancher-based lightweight Kubernetes, more geared toward deploying on resource-constrained environments like ARM devices.
Oh?
Thanks for the correction and new knowledge! (And a new tech temptation to resist)
K8s is better anyway, at least if you have the hardware for it. It's just slightly more complex to set up, but it sounds like you may already be over that hurdle.
If you want a new technology to have to resist dropping everything to play with, may I suggest CUE? Stands for Configure, Unify, Execute. If you're not familiar, it's a json superset that turns json-style data into networks of programmed relationships. Like if you want to send the same deployment to three different clusters, which have differently configured CD components, and (for example) you want to vary the databases or message queues you use based on the core microservice or what else has been deployed in the cluster, you can build out these relationships in CUE and merge them with another .cue module that defines how to render files for each destination cluster, automatically producing all yaml manifests that you would otherwise have to write by hand.
But absolutely, do what you were going to get done today. It's not a cool technology at all, there's really no need to keep thinking about it.
Thanks I'll investigate cue.
Well, I started setting up my homelab on an old dell rackmount server I got for cheap, but then paused it for a year and electricity costs doubled. Costs half as much to run a droplet with what I need for now (server has like 200 cores, even idle it sucks juice)
I'll have forgotten all I know about kubernetes and prox mox by the time proces drop again 😔
So, let's modify CoreDNS and update the cluster version then. Don't want to? Interesting.
Women too....
Yeah, but if I fix this one line of code, then the system will work and everything will be automated and my time spent on all of this won't have been a giant waste, right?..... Right?
🎶We're pretending not to be three PCs in a trenchcoat🎶
Are those the thick OptiPlexes?
They're not MT optiplexes, they're sff optiplexes
MFF optiplexes: Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.
I've done therapy and now I've got all kinds of tech in my appartment I used to consider important so yeah there's something to this 😅
When someone tells me about their kubernetes cluster, my first question is: how many DVD drives does it have?
What's your point?
Hey, we got our prioritizes. my form of therapy is cursing at the computer when my program doesn't work. 😂
That one vertical OptiPlex is triggering me.
