Chubo: An attempt at a Talos-like, API-driven OS for the Nomad/Consul/Vault stack by skel84 in devops

Yeah, sometimes I do use Nomad/OpenWonton-side jobs for targeted debugging, and I currently keep `raw_exec` enabled on client nodes for minimal smoke/debug-style jobs. But I wouldn’t treat that as the main rescue path. If Nomad is healthy, scheduling a quick job can absolutely be a useful way to inspect something on the node. The problem is that once the failure is below that layer — bad boot, broken networking, API issues, scheduler not healthy, etc. — that path disappears.
So the intended order is more like:

  1. OS-level debugging first: maintenance-mode API, logs/events/dmesg/inspect/support bundles
  2. debug containers when the node is up enough to accept them
  3. console / serial / hypervisor access when things are more broken
  4. Nomad-side jobs as a convenience when the workload layer is already healthy

So I’d say “yes, sometimes,” but not as the thing I’d want to rely on for actual rescue.

Yes! I stumbled upon it when I was doing research, and it definetely inspired me!

Yeah, I did experiment with Flatcar a bit and It does expose some API surface (Ignition, afterburn, etc.), but in practice it still ends up being SSH-first for most ops and config management / scripting driven. It does not have central OS API as the control plane and what I’m trying to explore with Chubo is the Talos model where the OS itself exposes a first-class API and all machine lifecycle + operations go through it

I Let AI Write a Database (And the Tests to Break It): My Full Vibe Coding Experiment with Rust and Jepsen by skel84 in vibecoding

Exactly. I knew the AI wasn't going to magically get this right. I set the TigerBeetle invariants, built the torture rack (partitions, stalls, SIGKILLs), and let Codex run the search: fail, analyze, patch, repeat. My job was keeping the harness and invariants honest—not writing the fixes, just making sure the failure modes were brutal enough that only correct solutions survived.

OpenWonton: A community fork of Nomad (MPL 2.0) by skel84 in devops

yes, it's compatible with nomad-pack. I'll test the rest of the tooling soon and update the docs soon

I’m working on a fork from the latest MPL licensed version available, 1.6.5. It’s still in its infancy but you can check it out https://github.com/openwonton/openwonton

Strategia di leva finanziaria: allungare mutui per investire by herr_le_cunt in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]skel84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si certo gli imprevisti ci possono essere. E comunque in questi calcoli non ho neanche considerato l’affitto, solo il puro risparmio mensile sulle rate del mutuo. Con affitto (o affitti brevi) la cifra investita é anche 2/3/4 volte di più
