GOD FORBID MEN HAVE HOBBIES

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 49 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Pretty sure kubernetes is more like an addiction than a hobby I've never heard of anyone actually enjoying themselves while using it

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 week ago

I really do love it. But to be fair, I should probably also be in therapy.

[–] Dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.org 22 points 1 week ago

I really enjoy using the k8s clusters at work, but iam not the one running them to be fair :D

[–] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 92 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I have good news!?

...This isn't a particularly gendered problem.

[–] nori@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

Ikr? I have a small pile of PoE pis running a bunch of self hosted stuff

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe building the cluster is the therapy?

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Can confirm.

Source: I have a beegfs storage cluster at home.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 week ago

HEY. technically I'm a woman now

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 42 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm in this meme and I don't like it

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 week ago (4 children)

What if I go to therapy and still do the kubernetes thing?

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

Unfortunately we’ll have to put you down like a horse with a broken leg

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

you have enough money for 2 k8s clusters?

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately, that is not how therapy works.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

And therapy??

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago

Then you're kicking ass at life, that's what.

Literally me lol

[–] kaidezee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are you the Dell or the Kubernetes :P

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Obviously the sticky note

Those dell optiplexes aren't gonna reuse themselves.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Note says "Totally not a K3s cluster"

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

K8s (short for kubernetes)

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 38 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

K3s is a Rancher-based lightweight Kubernetes, more geared toward deploying on resource-constrained environments like ARM devices.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh?

Thanks for the correction and new knowledge! (And a new tech temptation to resist)

Mind blown

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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 😔

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

So, let's modify CoreDNS and update the cluster version then. Don't want to? Interesting.

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 21 points 1 week ago

Women too....

[–] piefood@feddit.online 17 points 1 week ago

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?

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are those the thick OptiPlexes?

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're not MT optiplexes, they're sff optiplexes

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

MFF optiplexes: Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

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?

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 4 points 1 week ago

What's your point?

[–] solomonschuler@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Hey, we got our prioritizes. my form of therapy is cursing at the computer when my program doesn't work. 😂

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

That one vertical OptiPlex is triggering me.
