  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • That's so funny that you actually checked.

    And also thanks for the kind words. I'm actually working on a few blog posts since my job and school have calmed down.

    But you're right, I should also contribute to open source memery

  • Office workers - Has anyone here convinced their boss to let them install a Linux distro on their work desktop?

  • I've been thinking about swapping my work laptop to Linux too.

    The difference is I'm in IT and I know what all things I need to put on my computer to make it compliant with all our policies and all the software I need to do my job.

    I've been experimenting by running some Linux VMs with all the EDR, patching, and logging software we need. But by the time I'm doing all that, there's really no point in using Linux except for the CLI which WSL has been great for that.

  • I'd agree with that use of ads.

    Hell, my last laptop purchase was because of an ad, but I bought a totally different company's laptop.

  • I agree with the sentiment (ads blocked in so many ways here).

    However, people are looking to buy things and ads do work. I used to discover cool products and go to cool events I found because of ads and algorithms.

    But I swear I haven't seen anything worth buy for years before I went full anti-ad. Its all temu drop shipped garbage and AI cheating tools now. I don't even get hot singles like the good old days!

  • 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!
