moondevon Linux laptop maker called me a Zombie

VMware workstation for Linux and Windows supports running a VM with specific partition(s) from your boot disk. This allows you to launch your "other" OS when needed, but still directly boot it on hardware if desired.

moondevon Semaphore CI is now open-source

You can tell a lot of care went into creating the docs. Generic k8s would be nice vs GCP tie in but doesn't seem too tightly coupled.

moondevon Project MINI RACK – what have we started?

Hopefully someday we will have the technology to 3d print flawless poweredge and purestorage server bezels.

Also shout out to HP with the new bezels. Being a server bezel designer seems awesome.

moondevon Fly To Podman: a script that will help you to migrate from Docker

Launching Kubernetes pods without a kube-apiserver. The kubelet can run in standalone mode and launch static pods as well, but I don't believe it supports deployment manifests like podman does. Pretty handy.

moondevon Introduction to CUDA programming for Python developers

From an infrastructure perspective, If you have access to the hardware, a fun starting point is running NCCL tests across the infrastructure. Start with a single GPU, then 8 GPUs on a host, then 24 GPU multi hosts over IB or RoCE. You will get a feel for MPI and plenty of knobs to turn on the Kubernetes side.

moondevon Waydroid – Android in a Linux container

I'm interested in why the linked implementation is different or enhanced. There is nothing on the readme and I guess I would need to track down a summary of the talk

moondevon Using uv as your shebang line

I like using this with tusk, which is a golang cli a bit like make, but it uses yaml for the config. The shebang is

      #!/usr/bin/env -s go run github.com/rliebz/tusk@latest -f

Then use gosh a golang shell for the interpreter

      interpreter: go run mvdan.cc/sh/v3/cmd/gosh@latest -s

This makes it a cli can run anywhere on any architecture with golang installed

moondevon Nvidia's Project Digits is a 'personal AI supercomputer'

AGX also has UEFI firmware which allows you to install ESXi. Then you can install any generic EFI arm64 iso in a VM with no problems, including windows.

moondevon Guide to mechanical keyboards

My dream is for the following:

- low profile hall effect switch - mx stems - tactile - quiet or almost silent - adjusting the actuation actually adjusts the travel

So the last item you could set up an ultra "short throw" switch

I have gotten close by making a frakenswitch of multiple switches, but would be amazing to programmatically create this

Before reading the entire page did you consider clicking the header. This will bring you to the main landing page of the product/project which more often than not contains a helpful summary of what it is and why it exists. You can also apply this pattern to other unknown things you come across.

moondevon Ask HN: Homelab projects to learn Linux admin and DevOps to get hired as one?

I can't even get the simplest thing answered, which is "what is the minimum required setup for k8s, if not using a hosted solution?

Most mininal is to run a cluster inside a docker container with KIND. 2 cores and 4G of memory should allow you to run some small workloads

I plan to use 3cp 3w nodes and utilize all resources available. Do I NEED external storage,

No. Storage is optional AKA stateless workloads.

do I NEED an external load balancer or can I use DNS-LB?"

I'm assuming you want to bootstrap an upstream k8s cluster with kubeadm. In that case yes you need load balancer to sit in front of your control plane nodes. You can use a project like kube-vip to function as the load balancer without introducing an extra machine. If you want to use an extra machine you use something like haproxy.

You can use DNS but it's not ideal for production without healthcheck - but for a lab go for it

moondevon The end of ChromeOS is a new dawn for cheap Android laptops

moondevon Docker Compose Isn't Enough

To go even further, podman supports actual sidecars (one or many forming a pod) and even supports actual Kubernetes deployment manifests without needing a kube-apiserver.
