My home lab has grown over the years, now consisting of a physical Proxmox cluster, and a handful of servers (RaspPi and micro hosts).
A couple years back I got tired of failures related to host-level Docker issues, so I got a NAS and started using NAS storage for everything I could.
I also re-investigated containerization - weighing Docker Swarm vs K3s - and settled on Docker Swarm.
I’ve hated it ever since. Swarm is a PITA to use and has all kinds of failure modes that are different than regular old Docker Compose.
I’ve considered migrating again - either to Kubernetes, or just back to plain Docker - but haven’t done it. Maybe I should look at Uncloud?
Huge nostalgia wave seeing some of these. Many of them are hard for me to pinpoint but unmistakably familiar.
My first website was a geocities site back in ~1999, which was dedicated to StarCraft. I wish I could find it now; I remember it being really aesthetically pleasing - it would be funny to see how it held up.
“At the primary moment of disruption, we saw YemenNet (aka TeleYemen) lose transit from BICS (AS6774) and Global Cloud Xchange (AS15412) at 22:32 UTC and revert to satellite service from BusinessCom (AS197206)”
It’s never good when your primary ISP’s only connection out to the world is via satellite
This was not my experience, reflecting on about 10 years of service in AWS network engineering (both as an engineer and manager). I’m at Oracle now, which, by contrast, is orders of magnitude more focused on revenue/spend.
You’re almost always going to bottleneck on your home internet or upstream ISP, rather than this local interface. That being said, you aren’t going to be waiting too long either way, depending on download speed.
Deepseek R1 is 671GB. Multiply by 8 to get into bits: 5368Gb
At full 10gbps (which, again, you probably won’t get): 5368Gb / 10gbps = 537 seconds to download
537s / 60 = 8.95 minutes. Call it 10m with overhead.
The larger question isn’t if we feel or not. One of the questions is: is our “window” into consciousness occurring before or after decisions are made.
If it’s before, then you can easily tie consciousness and free will together. If not, we are effectively watching videos of our bodies operate. Oh - and there is no spoon.
All of these seem valid, too, but they don’t need to be mutually exclusive. I’m all for common sense recommendations - even if it only helps a relatively small percentage of families.
I look at it in a similar light to nutritional guidelines.
It’s surprising that more schools haven’t done this. I suspect that we’ll look back in 10 years with it being common and ask ourselves what took so long.
Almost always. Most people look at global networks like black magic and don’t realize this.
For most large businesses, 90%+ of major network events are caused by internally-driven network config changes.
Depending on how far along the business is towards automation, a proportion of the 90% can be attributed to a human going “off script” - I.e.: making a change that had not been reviewed.
I love this idea and have considered doing something similar with friends for years. It’s cool to see how far they’ve taken it — much bigger than I had envisioned.
My biggest/only concern - which they gloss over, mostly — is security. Combining networks puts added responsibility on every family that joins. What if friend-X’s kid downloads a virus-riddled torrent, which is capable of multiplying across hosts?
Your own hosts/perimeter can always be protected, but there’s a loss of control with this setup.
The only use case I can imagine is a legacy game which performs a server search by broadcasting/scanning the local network. And even then - most of the time these games had server browsers.
