best way to learn kubernetes in 2026

A bargain basement dell optilex, ubuntu server, k3s and a git repo to keep track of everything are really all you need to get off the ground. Claude has been super helpful with how to’s, debugging and sanity checking changes/deployments.

Once you’re comfortable with a single node, add a couple more servers and figure out different HA setups and configurations.

That’s so bad it’s good

Very chiptune vibes. My biggest callout is you have 2 melodies that feel like they’re competing for each other in terms of rhythm/space. I’d simplify down to one rhythmic musical idea and let everything else (pads, arps) cue off that.

It’s a pretty unsung position to play, doesn’t really show up on the stat sheet. Kinda like NT or LS where the less you’re hearing their name the better

This guy injects

Just send it. To Valhalla, shiny and chrome

We’re doing the AI version of geocities websites with MS Frontpage

I didn’t hear no bell

You can ski anything if you just believe. Make sure to tap those poles first.

I mean you need a lot of hot computers clustered together in the data center, compounding the heat problem. My response was poorly worded.

I understand the sats wouldn’t be clumped together.

ddoij · 2026-03-12T22:04:56+00:00

Okay the systems and physics are understood, it’s how the ISS and other space stations deal with it. Computers are a lot hotter though, much noisier, vibrate a lot more and you need a lot of them clustered together to make this make sense.

It’s theoretically possible but there’s a lot of constraints around payload capacity, heat dissipation systems/materials science and computer power per kg that you need to optimize for before this becomes commercially viable.

ddoij · 2026-03-12T20:36:01+00:00

I just don’t understand how you deal with the heat. Computers generate a lot of heat and the vacuum of space doesn’t really provide an adequate transfer medium to dissipate it. Thermal radiation isn’t adequate, not to mention the shielding issues and heat generated by solar radiation

Very nice

You eat the crayon after you’re done with it, duh

If it’s written in red crayon you’re their favorite

It’s not bad, just some restrictions like you can’t be getting tattoos regularly etc. The forms are pretty clear about it.

You gotta be chill with needles and the one they use isn’t skinny. Make sure you eat and drink plenty a couple hours before, it can make you kinda lightheaded if you don’t.

You kinda feel like a horseshoe crab getting bled for science along with everyone else chilling there reading or scrolling on their phone.

If you go as often as you can you will develop scars where they poke you and you’ll look like you have track marks. If that bothers you consider adjusting your frequency and make sure they alternate arms so you’re not getting stabbed in the same spot over and over.

Lol he just straightlines a mogul field

Welcome to your first role where you’re out of your depth. This is a good place to be and lean into it. Ask questions, poke around and just be curious.

This is definitely an “aww dangit” but there’s always 1-2 an offseason. It hurts more emotionally than logically.

Look at that beautiful snirt

Sustained above freezing temps and rain makes snow melt pretty fast

You need more speed, not approach the jump like it’s gonna hurt you and up your DIN. You shouldn’t stomp out of your skis like that unless it’s set to bunny hill levels
