I hate that you hate to write this, but good work doing it. I never understood why people perceive k3s as hard and then write pages of docker compose yaml instead. Admittedly my day job got me a CKA, but running k3s at home is barely a step up from docker compose.
Curious what you would use instead? I can only think of one wrong answer and that’s Jsonnet.
Correct, and since there are multiple instances I’m using a plural form, and fighting autocorrect at the same time.
My current favorite is in ruby with the unless keyword:
tax = 0.00
unless not_taxed(billing)
tax = billing.zipcode.blank? ? estimated_tax_from_ip(account) : billing.tax
tax = (tax.nil? ? 0.00 : tax)
end
To me, anything payments related you want to be really super clear as to what you’re doing because the consequences of getting it wrong are your income. Instead we have this abomination of a double negative, several turnaries, and no comments.
The UK has been right up there on the highest number of cameras per person in the world, this isn’t surprising. They’ve been at the forefront of this before China took the records.
It’s a shortcut for experience, but you lose a lot of the tools you get with experience. If I were early in my career I’d be very hesitant relying on it as its a fragile ecosystem right now that might disappear, in the same way that you want to avoid tying your skills to a single companies product. In my workflow it slows me down because the answers I get are often average or wrong, it’s never “I’d never thought of doing it that way!” levels of amazing.
Dream of tech bosses everywhere. Pay an intermediate dev for average level senior output.

It can be a bit of a high. Mouth in pain but mind is like woah.
There are better kings in pyscadelic rock. King Buffalo maybe? King Gizzard is not always easy listening.
Ha. I guess I rewrote my own memory.
Edit: complete fabrication be here.
The “do horrible thing to save someone” story, yeah, maybe.
But the pig thing had been going around for years about the then/former prime minister. Some kind of hazing at eton or wherever those posh folks go. The episode was just a reference to that.
I am in the wrong thread man. My comments are purely based on the billet labs thing where this thread started, and those not directly involved with the sexual harassment being grouped in with the unethical lack of integrity brush.
Yeah I mean things drop through the cracks. Humans is humans.
As a foreigner in the same city as LMG the work culture is to never say no, I get in to a bunch of professional trouble when saying no. So turning down work to make yourself less busy is hard for some here. I’m just suggesting that this may not be mallace and pure evil, the situation is a product of the work and office culture there. It would play out differently in different parts of the globe.
It’s probably overwork, rather than a malicious lack of integrity. Guy left a to field empty and moved on with his day, well probably was sending 900 emails a day and can’t keep track. Sexual harassment in the workplace? Can’t think of that we have deadlines!
(downvote edit lol: not defending Linus, not defending the actions, or those involved in it all. Just pointing out that mistakes are made when overworked rather than tainting everyone at LMG with the unethical / lack of integrity brush)
Used to work in garden/hardware supply company. The best selling product cost $16 for manufacturing and delivery to our warehouse from China. They would sell in [national hardware chain] for $699. It was about a 40% markup in store, the rest of that $699 was eaten up by warehousing, shipping and staffing costs. If you couldn’t move that product in a reasonable timeframe then you’d start losing money on warehouse costs.
I figure most items I’ve purchased are 40% profit, 50% warehouse/shipping/staffing, 10% manufacturing/import.
Yeah for reference I’d probably never run the full open source Kubernetes distribution unless I had to, and that would mean having access to millions of dollars of hardware in a datacenter.
K3s is a lightweight Kuberbetes distribution that implements the full Kuberbetes API (full-ish? Maybe?). It’s super easy to run on Linux, I run a 3 node cluster with GPUs at home. Its only real downside is the backend is a single point of failure, but that’s ok for me cause it’s run from my storage node with all the disks, so if that disappears I have bigger problems.
There are others like microk8s which can handle control plane failures, but it’s for that reason that I also dislike it - they wrote their own distributed sqlite instance and it failed on me, a story for another time.
Minikube can run on your desktop, it’s also an option.
But if you have docker desktop, you also have a built in Kuberbetes API server too, just have to enable it with one checkbox (not a full API server, but good enough for installing helm charts).
Kind is a docker based Kubernetes server but I think that’s in the realm of testing not running. I believe K0s is in this camp too but could be wrong.
At work the daily driver will be one of EKS, GKE, AKS, or whichever cloud providers implementation. They’re effectively free and a loss leader because you’ll pay for instances anyway (at least on EKS, I’m most familiar with that one).
But if you’re interested in learning, start with docker desktops k8s API, or minikube, or k3s if you have a Linux host or raspberry Pi lying around.
