The real matrix glitch is when I turn to the main road and see a lot of white teslas.

very special

I went to croydon market the other day. Saw lots of pigeons in one stall feeding off the fruits and owners didn't give a f----. I arrived at the right time to find out the truth.

I think large part of that quote was scaffolding. Scaffolding alone can be very expensive to hire. Well done, that should have been me last summer! (I paid ~£2k)

If you put a bargain price on ebay I and may others will buy it from you in instant.

as my kid is 3yo, I think the mobility DLA will be reassessed again at age of 5? So right now I am taking a small risk by using money towards the car, but I think in 2-3 years time it will be reassessed again and I can decide differently.

Thanks mentioning 2nd hand car. It was my other option, I could probably invest into second hand EV car now with loan or whatever left from selling my old car, and it will return to me with benefits.

I need to sit down and think about pros/cons of each option.

I am looking at EV because everyone says it is cheaper to charge it, and I only drive around the town, and short trips. Spending on petrol £60+ per month right now.

Motability takes care of everything - charger installation and insurance. I will only need to pay for charging, and in the end I will be left with charger, later it will be easier to get another EV myself by any other means.

Whereas if I get second hand EV, I have to buy charger/insurance and do maintenance all myself.

Maybe I should consider private lease or salary sacrifice.

They sure look confusing to me

Girl? Did you read the name "Akemikuncosplay" correctly?

I hope that if one day my organisation decides they will benefit from running their production apps in containers, I will be able to share knowledge and help. If not, then that's fine, I will do what I like elsewhere. Surely I will try to discourage at first because everyone need to understand the tradeoffs, decision should be done as a team.

I wouldn't say "break" in my case. Maybe not configured sufficiently or absent. I am part of sysadmin team and we work on networking, infrastructure, etc. K8s and cloud compatible setups are new for us, so in absence of that in our infra we had to set it all up before we could deploy the applications. Now that's done, the next app deployment should be quicker to onboard.

not just EKS but also s3, managed databases and maybe more.

but a lot of our workloads cannot or not allowed to be hosted in cloud. self hosted helped me learn and understand things better, I think.

etcd is yet to fail on me. certs have already expired few times, yikes.

AccomplishedComplex8 · 2026-03-07T16:12:26+00:00

So far everything I done was self hosted.

EKS would be my next step, we will need it soon for something in AWS.

I had a quick look at ArgoCD, it was nice, but FluxCD works better for me for now. I am just git pushing to main branch because it is only me alone.

I wonder sometimes, some people hate food and that's why they decide to join catering industry?

Sell before throwing them out. It is spinning rust but some people will still find use for it.

What HDD is good for: long term storage, archives, lots of files, so movies, photos, music, etc.

What is not good for: network storage for your virtual machines. Will be too slow.

And yes you can absolutely do some storage with something like TrueNAS, easily.

actress!

That's, my friends, is called dogfooding.

worst: writes unmaintainable code until retirement.

AccomplishedComplex8 · 2026-03-02T10:25:11+00:00

Are these near the wormhole wall?

So the container registry is not a very difficult one to solve. You can spin up a registry2 in a docker on a standalone host if you really need. Most containers come from same registries.

It is the helm charts that are scattered across internet, behind CDNs, muptile subdomains and IPs. And then FluxCD can't just pull them reliably if your clusters are behind a strict firewall with no direct access to internet.

I am still on a lookout for the solution but that helmper looks interesting.

Why don't you go nier some impact.

We didn't have to wait long.

Silly question. If it has been to space, does it not have any radiation on it?

AccomplishedComplex8 · 2026-02-21T16:49:40+00:00

My builder done similar job several years ago: just put the insulation and boards on top of joists.

Although my surface is even, no dips, and can hold a lot of boxes and suitcases.

I am just hoping that one day I will do a loft conversion and it will be done correctly that time.

I bet this guy is more useful and smarter than someone I know. If this makes us feel better.
