These modern-day homelabbers will do anything to avoid DNS, looks like to them it's some kind of black magic where things will inevitably go wrong and all hell will break loose.

Not sure about the CPU performance being much more powerful for some shit-stained NUCs found on ebay, but one selling point for these minisforum machines are hassle-free dual 10G interfaces which are required for decent cluster performance

I just bought a 5070 Ti a week ago and can attest I have used it for maybe 3-4 hours since then. It begs the question maybe I should have rented the compute instead instead of paying 900 eur on spot - that's like 3 years worth of rent.

None that I can remember, I was probably just testing something outside container and left it like that. Now checking there is /run/squid created by Alpine so that could be used too.

Don't even mention it, I have never used NetworkPolicy before, but now it seems like exactly the thing I am missing on my clusters to limit the blast radius if anything gets owned. It's quite incredible the amount of nftables fire

If things go the way they are, I wonder how long until buying a used Playstation 4 (8GB DDR5 RAM) at around 100USD a piece to put Linux on it and use as a server in cluster will become viable thing to do? Bring back console clusters! https
