I just uploaded to Github: https://github.com/akashrawal/nsd4k

I only made it for myself, so expect very rough edges in there.

I run a crude automation on top of OpenSSL CA. It checks for certain labels attached to kubernetes services. Based on that it creates kubernetes secrets containing the generated certificates.

It might be a failing fan. I have an Intel nuc whose fan started sounding like an air raid siren, so I took the fan out, drilled a hole into its bearing and added coconut oil into it. It is working fine till this date, but buying a new fan is probably better.

It is for a challenge, the goal is to build a cloud with workload decoupled from servers decoupled from users who'd deploy the workload, with redundant network and storage, no single choke point for network traffic, and I am trying to achieve this with a small budget.

The level1 video shows thunderbolt networking though. It is an interesting concept, but it requires nodes with at-least 2 thunderbolt ports in order to have more than 2 nodes.

If redundant everything is important then you need to change your planning toward proper rack servers and switches

I ain't got that budget man.

Yes, the entire network is supposed to be redundant and load-balanced, except for some clients that can only connect to one switch (but if a switch fails it should be trivial to just move them to another switch.)

I am choosing dell optiplex boxes because it is the smallest x86 nodes I can get my hands on. There is no pcie slot in it other than m.2 SSD slot which will be used for SSD.

I plan to have 2 switches.

Of course, if a switch fails, client devices connected to the switch would drop out, but any computer connected to both switches should have link redundancy.

There would be some quality-of-life improvements like being able to replace a switch without pulling down entire cluster, but it is mostly for a challenge.

Why we don't have any server side memes yet, probably there is some non-windows meme material there.

"So regarding these security vulnerabilities... We see that RHEL 5 is no longer supported, so what is your plan to get support..." So basically you're telling me you walked into a giant ravine without ever realising it for almost a decade and now you ask me if you could get some support to assemble your now tiny fragments back into working order?

I agree.

However, I love looking back at those "in action" pictures. The ones where people are laughing, talking with each other, looking at stuff, playing games, going places, etc.

We have one (and just one) such picture, and my parents have framed it on the wall. And it wasn't even shot at any special location, just a random roadside.

That error doesn't occur if you only ever copy the code as-is taps head

You're quite bold to assume that linux users haven't built their houses with doors instead of windows.

"It could be yesterday's newspaper", it's not reliable. Better get a TV showing news in the background instead.

You, sir, are a genius.

I agree. I do have a handful of pictures that I look at, like when I pointed a camera just above some buildings and cranked the shutter time to the max to capture the skyglow. But for every such picture there are a hundred more that are just sitting there.

There is where I stand, but other people continue telling me to do these things...

Maybe you're right, I might appreciate it 30/40years down the road but definitely not 10 years. I have photos from 10 years back but I never look at them. They only stay because storage is cheap.
