No their relationship has deepened beyond porn.

Now they're accountability buddies that make sure each other doesn't bomb rich white people accidentally.

I bought a car that comes with a "free" 300k/30 year warranty, but only if to do oil changes every 4k miles or 3 months. Maybe this guy has something similar?

For me, I may try And keep it up for a bit, but driving to one particular dealer every 3 months just to get a ridiculous warranty that will probably never actually pay out isn't worth it.

Yeah, that's the other thing to keep in mind, since the KVM APIs are different from the vSphere APIs, you can't just swap providers without changes. But if you were going from a test vSphere stack to a prod, you could update the endpoint and be just fine.

Hashicorp has caught some shit in the past about claiming the code covers multiple providers. Technically, it can if you do weird shit with modules, but in reality there isn't a clean way to have a single, easily understandable project that can provision to multiple platforms.

Oh man, that link is dead? Or is archive.org having issues?

nothing about it is common or portable, so if you change your VM host, it might all fall apart.

Disclaimer, I'm pretty much elbow deep into terraform daily and have written/contributed to a few providers.

A lot of this is highly dependent upon the providers (the thing that allows the Terraform engine to interface with APIs for AWS, Proxmox, vSphere, etc. The Telmate Proxmox provider in particular is/was quite awful with not realizing a provisioned VM had moved to a new host.

Also, the default/tutorial code tends to be not very flexible. The game changer for me was using the built-in functions for decoding yaml from a config file (like yamldecode(file(config.yml)) in a locals block. You can then specify your desired infrastructure with yaml and (if you write your Terraform code correctly) you can blowout hundreds of VMs, policies, firewall rules, dns records etc with a single manifest. I've also used the local_file resource with a Terraform file template to dynamically create an Ansible inventory file based on what's deployed.

I'm not sure if the person I replied to was thinking about this movie in particular, but it certainly came to mind when I posted that gif:

There's been some solid ones too. I love that I didn't have to explain the War thunder one to my spouse.

Also of note - if you're using docker (and Linux), make sure the user is/group id match across everything to eliminate any permissions issues.

They look a little like that sauce packet kitty from reddit years ago.

We are all domestic terrorists now?

Not really, but I can give you my reasons for doing so. Know that you'll need some shared storage (NFS, CIFS, etc) to take full advantage of the cluster.

1. Zero downtime for patching. Taking systems offline to update Proxmox sucks, especially if the upgrade fails for some reason. A cluster means I can evacuate one host, upgrade it, and move on to the next with no downtime for the hosted VMs.
2. Critical service resiliency. I have a couple of critical systems in my home lab that, if they unexpectedly go down, will make for a very bad day. For instance, my entire home network (and lab) is configured to use a PowerDNS cluster for DNS. I can put the master PowerDNS server on one host and the slave on a second host - if I have a hardware failure, I won't lose DNS. I have a similar setup for my Kubernetes cluster's worker nodes.
3. Experimentation. A cluster gives me a larger shared pool of CPU/Memory than my single host could offer. This means I can spin up new VMs, LXC containers, etc and just play with new software and services. Heck that's how I got started with my Kubernetes cluster - I had some spare capacity so I found a blog post that talked about Kubes on LXC containers and I spun it up.

I hope that helps give some reasons for doing a cluster, and apologies for not replying immediately. I'm happy to share more about my homelab/answer other questions about my setup.

I dunno, Trump showed the world you can completely give up decades of hard won soft power in only two months, maybe China will think it's cool?

Bench seats were in cars too! In the early 2000s I had a 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic. That thing was a boat with a couch for a front seat.

I had some luck cobbling together a HiFiBerry with some speakers. It's not the same thing, but it does show up like a streamable audio device.

It's not super cheap though.

Those are beasts! My homelab has three of them in a Proxmox cluster. I love that for not a ton of extra money you can throw in a PCIe expansion slot and the power consumption for all three is less than my second hand Dell Tower server.

At this rate, Google will pull so many features the Home Assistant, Whisper/Piper combo will have parity.

The only thing I'm missing from my OSS voice assistant is, "where is my phone"... And I'm fairly certain I could figure out how to get that working if I tried hard enough.

Well, obviously this is the result of [outside group of people I personally hate/am racist against].

Actually, with the drastic cuts to NOAA and science, how long before we'll hear that the death toll is as large as it is because of DEI or illegal immigration?

I only use voice to interact with my phone when I'm driving and want to set a destination, or if I'm at home and can't find my phone.

Somehow I doubt that AI will help tell me my phone fell off the nightstand and is half way under the bed.
