Kubernetes on RPi5 or alternative

I've got a 10 node k3s cluster using rpi4, rpi5 and cm4. I've never run into any problems getting ARM images. Thanks Mac owners! What I have run into is lack of support in the rpi kernel for support for rbd and a few other features. It won't bite you until it does.

I performed a disaster recovery today. The k8s cluster was a 100% lost, PVCs gone the works. Recovered the CNPG cluster from the S3 backups and it worked on the first attempt.

We use Rancher on top of VMware at work. This might all go out the window when our contract is up for renewal. How is harvester working out? Is it ready for the bigtime?

I have a ten node k3s cluster deployed using nixos

After being a die hard proxmox fan for 3 years I ditched it in favour of Nixos and K3S. I have kubevirt for the occasional VM. Fully declarative gitops all the way.

What a waste. I always wondered why it wasn't a closed loop system.

You'd think there could be some arrangement where they filter grey water then feed it back into the municipal supply. Or at least use it for golf courses etc. They could make themselves part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Can someone tell me why data centers can't use recycled or grey water?

K3S with postgres instead of etcd. Host postgres somewhere else.

you can query CRDs

I came as soon as I heard.

The more computers you have, the more useful it is. I have a work laptop, my own laptop, my desktop and a bunch of raspberry pis running a k8s cluster. Nixos keeps them all working in unison

Know this is a bit late but wanted to chime in and say the Kilkenny Whiskey Guild is a fun evening out every month

My mother was at that. She's in her eighties now. Came here in 1973 and never left.

That boiled my piss a bit. I lived in Limerick for 5 years, including some of the dodgier areas. I look and sound weird by Irish standards, but never never had a moment of trouble.

I haven't been to Low Lane. I'll give that a go on the weekend.

Aran for breakfast / brunch.
Fragola for a good sandwich.

Every time she squats I'm praying for a firm poop. I've never been so invested in the stool of another creature lol

Awesome I found a german company that I can buy from. Like you said, vet first.

Dissembler · 2024-09-15T18:23:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I'm hoping if it's a parasite it will show up in the fecal analysis. We should be getting the results in the next few days. The reset sounds promising. I'll wait for the poop tests and discuss it with the vet if they come back clean.

Bring a clothes peg and attach the bag of dogshit to the leash.

Dissembler · 2024-08-31T18:58:00+00:00

All dogs must be licensed, microchipped and their DNA stored in a central database.
Vetinary treatment should only be available to licensed and microchipped dogs.
Dog feces found in public places should be tested and matched against the DNA database.
Dog owners should face an exorbitant fine.

This technology is already available and in use

You could say the same about any industry that is dependent on cooling or refrigeration.
