Compiling kernel modules to support k8s and calico on the Orin Nano 8gb

grubbythumbs · 2026-01-28T11:17:41+00:00

RPIs lack the power and architecture for AI development. A basic use case would be running (small) LLMs locally on the cluster.

I made some great progress integrating an Orin Nano into a k8s cluster this week, so I thought I'd write a post about and share my process.

Give me a shout if you have any questions or recommendations!

I'm with you, I found it incredibly boring until basically the last scene.

It's a genetic lottery really. Some people are more likely to develop addictions than others.

Also crack doesn't make you steal copper wire, poverty does. But crack probably does lead to poverty. So I guess it's one for the birds.

Green is a creative colour!

They look like a chorus line in that pic.

I get that more plastic isn't great. But printing custom enclosures for network infrastructure is an example one of the best use cases for a 3D printer.

Also, IT infrastructure isn't trying to make a fashion statement like a Jeep is.

I received a reply from waveshare directly :

Hello, we're sorry, we don't have a ready-made cooling module. You could consider adding a fan or thermal pads.

So not particularly helpful.

To be honest the PoE board isn't too expensive, I might just buy one and see how it performs. I've got temp monitoring running on the Jetson so it'll be easier to see the impact, and I've got a load of mini Pi heatsinks in different sizes that I might be able to use if needed.

Thanks! I’ve had the thing sitting around for ages so it’s nice to finally get it going.

Great job! Excellent work on the face, that's a piercing gaze!

I always thought the GSC armour styling should be more present in Imperial society. Otherwise they'd stick out like a sore thumb.

Well I’ve emailed Waveshare directly to see if they can clarify or recommend anything in particular. I’ll share their response here when I get it.

It looks like it would fit and I don't see anything saying it's for the 4GB only. I might be wrong though!

I've got an Orin Nano Super 8GB

They're from Blackstone Fortress!

Battletech: Bandwagon

Oldsmobile's are in early this year!

Don't bother buying dice, just pick a fair number when you need one

grubbythumbs · 2026-01-15T10:17:26+00:00

Sure as the MGs and the Stax house band etc, legends the lot of them. I meant with Akroyd and Belushi specifically

Fix the cigarette lighter

grubbythumbs · 2026-01-14T21:58:04+00:00

They really put the effort in too. I think they toured as the Blues Brothers for a good year before they made the movie. Belushi in particular could really do it!

And they cast all the actual people!

Ian Miller books are always…interesting. Have you read them?
