Ok I’ll ask. I’ve been doing containers for a while now. My day job is in virtualization/networking/storage so this shouldn’t be that hard. But I just can’t get my head around kubernetes. Between work and home I have enough hardware to choke a robotic horse so that shouldn’t be a problem. Are there any good resources to get me started?

Finally… eBay went to shit years ago with scams and Craigslist is a shell of what it once was. Not to mention I cancelled Facebook years ago because … we’ll because Fuck Zuck.

Yeah no doubt. I’ve got 20 year old MS mice that still work.

Google is getting as bad as Microsoft with unusable old hardware. I mean fine stop supporting the older hardware but release the code/api to allow them to still function with people who know how to do it. Or at the very least allow the old hardware to be unlocked for third party firmware.

- Comment on Elon musk is a pedophile 1 week ago:
I imagine that Epstein catered to lots of people’s fantasies. Trump is totally a pedo. But as much as I despise Muskito, I really don’t get that vibe from him. Young maybe … like late teens, early 20s… disgusting, creepy, … sure, but I just don’t get the pedo thing. This is just my opinion.
But here’s the thing, if he was there on that island and had reasonable suspicion that these girls were underage and knew what was going on and still did nothing. He’s just as guilty.

- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 1 week ago:
Ok I’m arguing for containers/VMs and granted I do this for a living… I’m a systems architect so I build VMs and containers pretty much all the time time at work… but having just one sorta beefy box at home that I can run lots of different things is the way to go. Plus I like to tinker with things so when I screw something up, I can get back to a known state so much easier.
Just having all this things sandboxed makes it SO much easier.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 1 week ago:
I really thought the same thing. But it truly is super easy. At least just the containers like docker. Not kubernetes, that shit is hard to wrap your head around.
Plus if you screw up one service and mess everything up, you don’t have to rebuild your whole machine.

Yes.
Ok funny story… had a friend that was an early adopter of the Amazon Echo. Went to our usual get together for board-gaming and he was showing it off. The look on his face when I said “Alexa, order a 55 gallon drum of KY jelly” and she proceeded to place the order (this was, at the time, a thing that was actually available on Amazon). He had to rush to his computer to cancel the order.
Funny as hell…

I am not the core audience for this product as I loathe Meta with a passion but I’m also an IT professional with primary focus on hardware and system architecture/networking with 30 years experience. This explanation sounds painfully accurate and very plausible and just short sighted enough to pass my smell test. That doesn’t mean it’s accurate but I totally believe it.
Those glasses should have been sandboxed to hell and back if not totally scripted/faked for demo purposes. Wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if somebody gets fired because of it.
In my opinion it just makes the whole thing more real. I’m excited about the tech, just not from Meta. I’d become a full blown Luddite before I wear anything with a Meta name on it.

- Comment on Tailscale difficulties 2 weeks ago:
Not sure if this is related or not but on Linux when I have a machine on the same subnet as an advertised route that I have connected to Tailscale, I can’t access the local subnet at all. On Mac’s it’s fine, only Linux. I had to hunt down this little trick:
ip ro del table 52 <subnet>
There are other ways to solve it but I added this to the service that starts Tailscale.
You can read more about it here. github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/6231
