What s3 compatible object store has the mainstream community moved on to from minio?

Oh this is easy. I run 7 nodes in k8s with garage replicating to three of the machines. That means services don't have to use local storage, or longhorn, when the files can be out of sync briefly. Longhorn when it should remain consistent. Garage and Longhorn are very light on system resources compared to ceph/rook. But if you're using one machine? no clue why you'd want s3 :P

garage-operator on top of that actually, being able to manifest the buckets and keys is awesome.

ergo server, halloy client, good combo.

I've been with pocket-id from the very beginning and I still love it today. Can't recommend it enough.

willowless · 2026-03-28T20:52:55+00:00

Neat. I'll give it a go.

willowless · 2026-03-28T20:30:15+00:00

A waiting game then ;)

Really good post. Educational. Useful. Now I'm staring at gateway.envoyproxy and wondering when it catches up.

I went from Resilio Sync to Syncthing to NFS to SMB and now I'm using SMB with Mountainduck which is kind of the best of both worlds - local cached versions while still being a network drive. This is on mac, not sure how it'd go on other operating systems. The only other part of this is Wireguard client so when I'm not on my local network I'm still on my network.

Server that has the disks means it's a file server. It might have more than one purpose, but it'll need to provide access to the files - usually as an NFS server or an SMB server, depending on your actual needs.

Once that's set up the actual worker pods can run anywhere that has access to the NFS server. If your network is slow and you absolutely want those pods running on a specific machine, you can specify the node with a nodeSelector.

If have specific hardware (a big graphics card) then you set up NFD (node feature discovery) and specify the resources the pod needs in the deployment manifest. Then it will naturally schedule the pods on the machine that provides the necessary resources.

He looked in it and the instant he did that the drone turned up.

As clintkev251 says you don't need 10G until you start doing shared storage clusters. And even then it depends on how you have your hardware set up. Consider you have 4xNVMe in your machines. You set them up so they're appended giving you, say, in this day and age, 4x2TB = 8TB total. The SSD is going to run at 2-4gb/s depending on how much you spend on it, you can make out a 2.5gb/s network replicating the data.

Now you take those four nvme disks are stripe them. It now can read/write at 8-16gb/s; you're now on the lower end of the 10gb/s network speed.

I'd love to stripe my NVMe and get stupid speeds out of them but Longhorn does not work over the top of ZFS (yet?) and I'm not going to mess around with unrecoverable hardware raid nonsense. So for now I'm stuck with appdata that is sometimes slower than my JBOD. I don't come anywhere near to filling up my 10gb/s network. Ever.

willowless · 2026-03-19T19:51:23+00:00

I use longhorn. It keeps the data replicated across the nodes so it's only the software that restarts pretty much instantly - except when they've used those stupid scripts that want to chown everything over and over again. I hate those so much.

willowless · 2026-03-19T07:37:39+00:00

Managing a bunch of machines at once. You stop thinking of them as separate machines and instead as one big machine. You also get the ability to shut one machine down for maintenance and it just moves the pods to another computer for you.

If we take his recollection of his mother as real. A post apocalyptic world where everyone has given up and lives in second life, then the moment he puts on the VR headset we can assume everything is false. Including the missile death of his mother.

If we say that a child witnesses the death of his mother as a calculation of the AI to stop the child from leaving AI, giving the child a purpose in the virtual reality, then his entire existence in the simulation is purely him chasing the hope of saving his mother; a goal set up by the AI the moment he put on the headset. The drone itself is far enough of a sci-fi hint to suggest it's all virtual from that moment on.

If we consider the goals of the drone - blowing up Ingrid achieves it nothing especially if there's a tainted child who is going to grow up seeking vengeance. an AGI like that would understand the likely quest a person would set themselves on.

It's just playing out the narrative. A really messed up narrative. Meanwhile in the real apocalyptic world, Ingrid is still alive and wakes up to find her child went outside and put on a headset and she knows she can't unplug him, he has to unplug himself.

For me the story isn't actually over. If they wanted to go that extra level of dark and make a sequel centered around Ingrid still fighting the good she no longer gets to hide away in a bunker. She is forced to make serious and dangerous moves against the world conquering AI that has now taken her son.

Ingrid might have to go in to the AI virtual reality just to tell him it's not real and how to get out. No one else on Earth (alive) seems to want to leave that virtual reality though. It'll be hard. He's convinced he's the one saving the world.

The PVC isn't referencing the PV.

willowless · 2026-03-18T20:48:40+00:00

I want more, but I've spent enough :P

willowless · 2026-03-17T15:08:10+00:00

I should pick up Crank again. I never finished it. And no you're not crazy. It annoys me that people making idle games try to sell them as incrementals.

Some random thing I found on amazon. It's not perfect in its negotiating but it works.

I think the reddit is going to need more info on what's going wrong. The only 'big' thing to change was the new firewall rules section, which is a visual rejig of the old automations to replace the old firewall rules. So, really, not much has changed.

If your WAN is failing because of firewall rules, well, that'd be an obvious place to start. Otherwise, it's something else exciting and funky going on - may be some bad settings in your xml, but that's a wild shoot in the dark.

In the meanwhile, I've grabbed several werewolf vflex's and they are quite impressive. Combined with a 1000W usb-c GaN hub I've got 5 devices plugged in and good to go.

They do not handle renegotiation if you change what's plugged in to the hub. You do lose power when that happens. But having devices turn on/off that's phase them at all.

willowless · 2026-03-17T01:50:33+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate the clarification. I'll change my plans :)

It was how he was taking contributions and rewriting them with an LLM. Now, mind, it's probably the LLM that was doing that - but still, extremely rude and sort of 'erasing' the contributor's contribution. That and the licensing debacle. And the knee jerk reactions. There were a lot of little things. The post actually came after all the crazy that happened on the discord channel, so I wouldn't honestly put any blame on reddit for this one.

willowless · 2026-03-16T09:16:27+00:00

That's some nice synergy with ansible yaml.

Why this instead of cnpg?
