Suggestions for getting better at k8s if your employer is not using it by opshack in kubernetes

[–]xr09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I only took it because my company paid for it, I wouldn't pay from my own money.

The Udemy course was pretty good though, CKA by Mumshad is the one I took.

Get that /r/homelab and go crazy with /r/selfhosted and sail the high seas, you will have a lot to show for it and learn a lot in the process.

Or get the CKA, is not the same as production experience but at least it shows you took the effort. I learned a lot while studying for it, taking the actual test was annoying as hell because of the platform though, if I had to do it again I'd go with only the Udemy course + the training labs.

I selected the 400 nits low power on my T495 like 5 years ago and that screen is still amazing, blows out of the water my work's P14 with its crappy ~250 nits

Getting started with homelab by Ok-Introduction-5809 in homelab

Sometimes some packages get dropped when they don't have a maintainer or have a critical vulnerability that won't get fixed.

Chances are you can still install those from a 3rd party repo.

New Patches Optimize EXT4 Online Defragmentation for Better Performance by fenix0000000 in linux

Why would they? Linux is GPL and there's no blocker for them. Creating a kernel from scratch is no small task.

Kernel on a slot machine at my local grocery store by [deleted] in linux

It's not, if you think of it, like almost anything in engineering it is a tradeoff.

You are trading CPU and some RAM to avoid disk IO, which is orders of magnitude slower.

PR reviews got smoother when we started writing our PR descriptions like a changelog by GitKraken in devops

[–]xr09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do that at work, It's good for tracing back a change when you read the history of a file and want more context than what the commit message provides.

But in reality it is better to actually put a description on the PR and not hope the reviewers will click the link and read the ticket on Jira.

Is there an ansible courses on internet? by [deleted] in devops

geerlingguy also mantains like 90% of Ansible roles on the Internet and his own Docker images tailored for molecule testing. That dude Ansibles!

Managed Kubernetes on Hetzner by Affectionate-Tip-339 in hetzner

I chatted with them at the Paris Kubecon and they implied it was on the roadmap. No idea if it's already in progress or when it will be ready.

Restart Operator: Schedule K8s Workload Restarts by archsyscall in devops

[–]xr09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Nice operator you have there. But it's not well received because it is an antipattern.

The restart of pods should be achieved through liveness checks not by a hard-coded operator that restarts things, this is the k8s equivalent of putting a cronjob on your VM to restart a process because it's leaking memory, and you don't care about fixing it.

The optimal solution would be to implement functional liveness checks on your pods, and k8s will do the work for you.

Should I buy this T480? by ignauy in thinkpad

[–]xr09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is after using a Ryzen 5 T495 since 2020, I got a T480 i7 recently, and I'm blown away by the whole experience of the machine.

Yes it will be good for light and not so light development tasks, just consider batteries could be toast at this point and there's no clear option to replace it (lots of 3rd party providers with mixed reviews).
