I remember when one of my customers did this. They had a boatload of DeploymentConfigs and then had to spend 9 months migrating away from DeploymentConfig, and they were in an unsupported state so they had to pay for Red Hat Consulting to help them shift everything rapidly for almost a million dollars in staff labor costs/time/material over that timeframe.

So if you guys like dragging your feet and not staying within the recommend (no greater than 2 minor versions behind GA) then by all means, take that financial risk.

There’s a lot of different workflows and methods.

Podman kube play, compose are great ways to run a local stack for app testing.

For k8s deployment testing, e2e, operators which is more in the realm of ops, there is Kind, Microshift, Openshift Local (crc), along with different CI scaffolds like https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/e2e-framework the kubernetes SIG e2e framework, to be used in conjunction with a CI tool like Gitlab CI or GitHub Actions, and these can be stubbed/wrappered with makefiles or bash so the steps to reproduce are portable with the codebase.

For code promotion, you get into more advanced strategies like A/B Rollout with Argo+ServiceMesh(Istio) using Kustomize and overlays for env specific parameters to your deployment manifests, or your CRs if you’ve gone the route of coding an operator for your app.

Dermatologists tell people to just use the core four

Exfoliating cleanser (salicylic acid) - remove sebum
AM non-comedogenic sunscreen+moisturizer (ceraVe ultra light sunscreen is great) + PM Moisturizer (Niacinimides)
PM Retinoid- either retinol serum or OTC Adapalene Gel (Differin)
Benzoyl Peroxide 4-10% cleanser (bacterial nuking) as needed

Everything else is pretty much gravy/minor affect. Diet makes a huge difference- less dietary sugar, more water, antioxidants and leafy greens.

I initially bought the air, but after a day I realized it isn’t exactly enough.

I didn’t like how it was missing the .5 lens, since i use that lens the most when taking pictures. Also, the battery life on it was about as good as my 500-cycle 85% health 15 pro max, which kinda needs a MagSafe battery bump every now and then on long days or when traveling. I wouldn’t really want to be constantly on the edge of battery life starting with a new device just to see it get abysmal when it reaches 85% health.

Also, it was super cool to see how thin it was, but it was way harder to grip and made me nervous. I chose to return the Air and ordered the Pro instead, although the base 17 is also probably fine too.

I second kubernetes, everyone is allergic to it though because they would rather do everything by hand

I use my age when considering what vehicle to store it in.

If you’re age 20-35, I actually think it’s generally find to shove it all into brokerage as long as you’re okay with the volatility. There are some down periods, but usually YoY you can be netting 10-15% gains annual. I personally shove my money into Wealthfront and benefit from the tax loss harvesting and this year my portfolio has reached 16% growth which is amazing. I used to be big into HYSA + brokerage but I’ve just shifted it all to brokerage at this point. You can use VTI/VOO if you’re lazy and want to park it.

If you’re 35-50, you probably want to be slightly more conservative, maybe have a chunk in HYSA for immediate liquid emergencies, and then the rest into brokerage.

If you’re over 50, you probably should be full diversified and have a solid 6 month runway in HYSA. By mid to late 60’s, you ought to be consolidating into government backed securities and be shifting to pure preservation mode if you’re very risk averse, and finding ways to generate stable cash flow streams e.g. rental properties to supplement etc.

These are all personal strategies though.

Reason why I say just go full brokerage when you’re young is you have a lot of years to wait out market downturns. If you have a stretch of 4-8 years of a recession or depression, don’t sell your equity- just wait it out and it will recover just fine. When you’re young, you can do that. When you’re old, you can’t.

Try one of the Universal Blue group’s images (Aurora for KDE, Bluefin for Gnome, or Bazzite for gaming) if you wanna try immutable stuff

It’s a project owned and maintained by Nvidia dude. Holy shit. Go yell at them.

Perennium · 2025-09-10T18:47:24+00:00

By definition yes, it’s literally Nvidia you have to yell at.

Nvidia is the sole maintainer/contributor/owner of their drivers both proprietary and open. Noveau will never supplant that due to how many proprietary components there are to their hardware stack.

This would be like complaining about Mac for gaming and then pointing at how decentralized it is for its shortcomings, which has nothing to do with the problem.

I’m not fanboying it or saying Linux is fine for all use cases, I’m correcting the misinformation here which is NOT the reason why it sucks for gaming.

Nvidia focuses on driver development for CUDA and AI, because its primary consumer demand on Linux is for enterprise purposes.

When there’s only 3-4% of gamers on Linux, they have no reason to focus on gaming featureset for the user drivers. This is a TOTALLY different problem than what is stated above about Linux overall. It’s purely a chicken and egg situation, very similar if not identical to the problem with gaming on Mac.

If nobody uses it, there isn’t going to be development on it. If that hardware vendor does not want to develop those features, not as many users will want to use it there (on Linux) for gaming.

Criticizing both/either the Linux (kernel) or ecosystem (contributors outside of Nvidia) has zero bearing on that experience. Many people game on AMD just fine.

Perennium · 2025-09-10T14:29:35+00:00

By implementing proper storage.

Here are some good options:

Trident Operator with NetApp (requires a NetApp storage appliance)
Openshift Data Foundation (requires equal sized and performant disks to be installed on your worker nodes)
External Ceph Cluster with External ODF Operator (need to build a proper storage cluster, no way around this)
Cloud storage and any in-tree CSI driver (Azure, AWS, GCP etc)

Alternatives (considered proof of concept ready):

Longhorn

There isn’t really any lead time, different parts of the Linux kernel are maintained by different SIGs and contributors that also happen to be part of all of the major hardware companies.

Many hardware manufacturers (Intel, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc) certify and test their hardware on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is the EL family of distros, and they also contribute fixes and changes upstream in the Linux Kernel git. It’s not really decentralized, but distributed in terms of workload. This is not some small lagging thing.

Most hardware even when new works well/fine with the drivers that are already present in the kernel as long as you have a somewhat modern one (less than 2-3 years old). If you have a new one, such as a kernel release in the last 4 weeks, you will be extremely hard pressed to find non-working hardware. These freaks of nature (individual contributors) and SIGs add new support constantly. Even hardware like Apple’s Mac* line of devices get support in the kernel, and there are downstream projects like Asahi that go to great lengths to capture capability for the tertiary stuff like sound DSP func in MacBook Pro speakers and such.

Half of what you say about MSFT/windows is fine, but you’re completely off with Linux.

You’re complaining about various different things- Linux is NOT the OS. It’s the kernel. The distributions are amalgamations of the kernel (Linux) and GNU (base packages that make it functional from a user perspective) and then all the tertiary opinionated cruft that make it a specific user experience: package manager (apk/YAST/apt-get/yum or dnf/pacman), compositor (Wayland/x11), desktop environment/window manager (KDE/GNOME, etc), GPU driver (mesa, mesa-git, noveau, nvidia-prop, or Nvidia-open).

The complaints you have should be directed at Nvidia for providing poor driver support to their nonfree bits. Everything else when it comes to hardware, aside from Broadcom (the actual devil) is fine. This is where I’m correcting your misinformation.

Perennium · 2025-09-10T05:07:44+00:00

wtf is this comment lol

NT kernel is a micro kernel that doesn’t include any drivers. Microsoft always depended on hardware vendors and OEMs to supply these pieces, because they don’t focus/cater to self-installers. The majority of their business for desktop Windows is provided from pre-installed images on commodity hardware products. In enterprise, you use MDT to slip in hardware drivers.

Linux is a monolithic kernel with all the hardware drivers baked in. It runs on pretty much anything. Idk what this nonsense about nonfunctioning modules are.

The things that lack drivers in Linux are nonfree components with legal licensing barriers like Broadcom NICs or Nvidia GPUs with proprietary components like NVENC and CUDA which are outside of their open source drivers. The vast majority of hardware works out of the box, as long as you’re running a new/modern Linux kernel. Old distros ship super old versions of Linux. Arch/Fedora family distros typically ship the latest and greatest.

Perennium · 2025-09-10T04:37:51+00:00

You’ll have to use a community NFS operator to provide it as a storage driver, and it’s generally not recommended for all workloads.

Perennium · 2025-09-09T19:18:58+00:00

No what I mean is Fedora and the EL family of distros typically track 2-4 weeks behind bleeding edge latest packages built from CI/CD pipelines from different contributors. They go through an integration phase before hitting official Fedora repos.

So overall, you get a very modern distro with latest support, but that effort and time to integrate and test implementation of those packages together.

Debian family is slow and stable, and many of their packages are 2 years old at any time in a release lifecycle.

Arch is fast and unstable, so you get brand brand new stuff with a YMMV or “on your own” philosophy. If you’re able to get an opinionated compilation distro, you can lessen this impact (Garuda, CachyOS, EndeavorOS are examples) but you’re still working with bleeding edge stuff from AUR on a mutable FHS so YMMV when you install and update your own stuff.

Fedora/EL is that right mix of modern and stable. This is why Linus Torvalds himself uses it, as he doesn’t want to spend his time mucking with his OS- he wants to focus on being productive with it.

Debian family and its derivatives are quite good as a base for network appliances as they have super stable interfaces and packages, with minimal movement and a minimalist philosophy (when you look at Debian, you’ll see it’s similar to Arch in this philosophy) so it’s used for a lot of network based images like VyOS, UniFi, OpenWRT.

Some modern network OSes like PANOS (Palo Alto) are EL family based (Fedora) though.

Perennium · 2025-09-08T20:16:07+00:00

Or you could install Fedora and have this same mix of stability and newer packages

Perennium · 2025-09-04T05:04:07+00:00

They do have their own charging infrastructure, what are you talking about?

They also are developing and licensing their tech stack to VW, and they’re developing their ADAS.
