Ansible is next on my list of things to learn.

I don’t think I’ll need to dedicate all of my compute space to K8s probably just half for now.

The rats nest is behind it

I need to re do some of the wiring.

I have all 4 power cables braided and zip tied together with the single data cable so its nice to pull out and put back into the entertainment center.

Only problem is I only had four 1 foot Ethernet cables and three 7 foot cables. So I used the 1 footers for the Pis and the 7 footers are bundled up as best I could and neatly hidden.

I’m waiting on some color coordinated .5 foot cables from Cables and Kits and I will swap the switch and patch panel. I want the Pis to have that one cable and that’s it, but I also want all the patch panel ports to work.

This is a 52pi 10 inch rack 8U

I have 4 raspberry Pi4’s 4gb running with POE

Some TP-link gigabit switch with 4/poe ports

3 Thinkcentre Tiny with a ryzen 5 2400GE 32 gigs ddr4 RAM, 512 Sabrent PCIE Gem 4 NVME boot/VM drive, 512 PNY Sata SSDs for databases

I have a bigger server for AI stuff and storage. This is just Tue “production” server for my websites and Git repos

I stole the set up idea from my man Jan Wildeboer

Done. Check parent comment!

Yeah!

So i am running these three computers in a set up that let’s me manage virtual machines on them from a website with Proxmox.

I want to play with a tool that let’s me run Docker Containers. Containers being a way to host services like websites and web apps without having to make a Virtual machine for each app.

This has a lot of advantages but I’m trying to use the High Availability feature when you run these on a cluster of computers.

My problem is that I know I can use the Built In container software in the already clustered Proxmox computers called LXC Linux Containers. However, I want to use a container software called Kubernetes but I would have to build Virtual machines on my servers and then cluster those virtual machines.

Its a little confusing because I have three physical computers clustered together and I’m trying to then build three virtual computers on them and cluster those. Its an odd thing to do and that’s the problem.

Quality answer. Glad my hunch was backed up by your experience. That’s very appreciated.

I hadn’t tried anything with Cloudflared and Kubernetes yet so it would be sick to see it just work.

Yes! They sell a NVME hat that I assume is for the Pi5 (these are 4’s I had laying around). It also moves the HDMI and USBC to the front.

Its the RS-P11 Expansion board. I can only find it bundled with the normal rack mount kit. I got mine off newegg from a reseller I guess so no expansion boards.

Fair point. I was also thinking it would be fun to use CoreOS so I can get one step closer to ArchBTW

I have been putting off scheduling my next therapy appointment.

Ya wanna host it on my forgejo instance?

I’m about to move it to a kubenetes cluster once my parts come in.

I did until recently. My partner wants a better relationship with food and thinks cooking will help with that.

So now we both do cooking on different days. I make what I know and they do Hello Fresh meals.

Its been great!

I always am shocked at how detailed the reports are, but I imagine they have to legally record and report on absolutely everything they found even if its irrelevant.

A grad course in AI/LLM/ML might actually be useful. Its where my old roommates learned about Googles Transformers and got into LLMs before the hype bubble in 2018.

Home might get ahead of the curve for the next over inflated hype bubble and then proceed to make unearned garbage loads of money and have learned something other than how to put ChatGPT in a new wrapper.

I got my Vasectomy at 26. I wanted it sooner, but insurance sucks.

I believe firmly that regret is something you make yourself feel or are made to feel. So your family members don’t regret having kids because they haven’t been made to regret that decision.

I haven’t told my family about my snip because I think they would have tried to make me regret it.

That makes sense to me because they want that constant reassurance that their decision was correct. So someone NOT making that decision means it may not have been correct.

If you wanna talk about it more, I’d happily chat with you and be the support you’re not getting.

Whack. I just set up a Forgejo too.

Weird. There used to be screen shot receipts I saw years ago.

Maybe she scrubbed it and turned a leaf? I hope so at least because B’Elanna was my favorite character.

That’s crazy.

Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.

It’s not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references

Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B’Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).

All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with “both sides” arguments.

It’s sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.

Gotta protect those Video Game movie deals.

Don’t wanna risk that Ganon cast in the Zelda Movie
