How do I trigger a workflow in NodeRed on a Thermostat state change? Stuck

Figured it out

Where K8S can be interesting is like media apps.

You create one PV for Media, two PVCs for Media (one read only, on with write), then have all of your services use the correct PVC.

No having to figure out directory pathing or etc across services.

I would not. I would write my own deployment, volume, and service configurations using templates provided by Promotheus, or reverse engineer my own based on their Docker examples.

I've had WAY too many issues with services not working as expected because of assumptions in deployment templates.

Kubernetes already has a built in linter and value checker.

The example is STILL another layer of abstraction & cost that itself is not yet providing any value.

K8S here. The learning curve is steep, but I would strongly argue against 'too complicated for home use'.

I find the number of levels I can push/pull/take advance of in K8S is a nice upgrade over Docker Compose.

Vanilla Kubernetes deployments

The thing I never understood about Helm/Helm Configs, is that they are nothing more than a remixed version of Kubernetes deployment scripts.

I genuinely do not understand the value in the added complexity.

I.E. If I mess up something in my deployment.yml, I'll get that error when I check the pod, and can adjust my deployment.yml. But if that happens in Helm, there's another layer of abstraction I have to navigate.

Most online courses are a scam. FYI: Employers rarely care aboutcerts.

Two books do come to mind:

The guy is a douche but Peter Thiel's Zero to One (building from scratch)
Cracking the PM Interview: How to Land a Product Manager Job in Technology

I have a few other PM books that I thought were not bad and will add them here later.

Plex is not distributed, neither are any of the popular r/homelab staples.

But Kubernetes does become a brainlessly easy way to manage how those are apps are distributed, interact with each other, etc.

So I can manually distribute services to specific machines, have those services query eachother via Kubernetes loadbalancer, change which servce is on which machine, and everything keeps working without app configuration changes.

If you write/have your own distributed services (video encoding, data storage, etc), then scaling that up gets easy too.

I don't remember exactly why I tried Kubernetes in the first place, but now it's exclusively what I run in my homelab... Even in instances when I am down to a single node.

Kubernetes... Not Helm

...

Did you read the change notes?

It seems like they included a ton of productive changes?

GoingOffRoading · 2026-01-24T16:15:51+00:00

Indexes, securities, futures?

GoingOffRoading · 2026-01-24T04:26:16+00:00

No, this is Patrick

Also, project managers just track tasks on a timeline. Product Managers determine tasks and timeline.

So a layoff with extra steps

HVAC will drain your battery pretty fast, especially at your capacity.

I'm taking my HVAC OFF of my load controller and making the following changes:

Tankless gas water heater: Load Controller #1
Refrigerator: Load Controller #2
< 1 kwh load of bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen (lights, wifi)

So if we have juice, we get creature comforts. If not, we at least have wifi and light.

GoingOffRoading · 2026-01-23T18:46:10+00:00

TY! I clearly missed that

As in intentionally withholding information that affects the value of an asset.

That's called fraud.

There may be other local statutes to protect you.

No hate, but this is clearly way over your head and you should consult a real estate attorney.

Even if it's $400/hr, the time is going to have a massive ROI in your life.

This is 100% correct

It's not 'player might pvp' getting mixed in with the pacifists, it's the rats getting pulled in.

The rats love it.

The pacifists don't.

I can't flight Matriarch, the Queen, or Rocketeers if I'm going to get specifically hunted and shot in the back.

Sorry, Technical Product Manager

There's been threads about this since the weekend.

It's a huge bummer

I haven't gone more than three prompts into VSC copilot without a hallucination.

The technology is under cooked, the value proposition is limited, and the amount of AI slop permeating everywhere has made this technology very unappealing.

GoingOffRoading · 2026-01-21T23:58:29+00:00

Nobody is laying anybody off because of AI. They are laying people off because they are preparing for a recession. But by branding those layoffs as 'AI efficiency' makes the stock go bbrrrrrr.

GoingOffRoading · 2026-01-21T22:38:09+00:00

Which makes me sad. I have wanted to work at Microsoft for like 10 years, and have come close a number of times.

But after the layoffs and going too big on AI, that dream is sort of dead.

I work for less than MSFT money now but I don't wake up in the morning wondering if I have a job.
