Just want to mention that two or three major releases sounds very bad, but Kubernetes had the insane release cadence of 4(!) major versions every year.

To be honest the API versions have been a lot more stable recently but back in ~2019 when I first used Kube in production, basic APIs were getting deprecated left and right, 4 times a year; in the end yes the problems are "on you" but it so easy to miss and the results so disastrous for a platform whose selling points are toughness resilience and self-healing

Look at helm charts, they have become the de facto standard for packaging/distributing/deploying/updating whole apps on Kubernetes

Sounds like reinventing trains, but honestly why not with all the existing road infrastructure

Yes like F1 tyres!

Call me old-fashioned but I read the article top to bottom :^)

Sorry but as a layman high-school educated guy, GP's explanation was a lot easier to follow with it having a "natural" real-life example

Love the classic RuneScape inspiration :)

I'm in France but these prices are coherent with what is available here. I don't think they are being sarcastic, I'm guessing prices are not that good over by you? :-)

Cannot find any articles discussing Hell++. Is it something specific? The thought seems very interesting and I'd like to read about it if you have any links :-) Thanks!

My experience with longhorn, or rook/ceph, or any other StorageClass solution that enables read write many is that eventually, despite all the "self-healing" and "highly available" claims, it all explodes at some point.

Volumes become unmountable, pools stay yellow forever, desynchronization happens... Perhaps (most probably even) I just don't know how to configure them properly, but maybe that is telling of the difficulty to operate/maintain these solutions.

What I took away from this is to try my most to never deploy anything that requires shared persistent volumes. If I need something stateful, it needs to speak to a database or S3 backend, or something that handles redundancy at some other level than filesystem. If I really really need to have a local volume, I'll use local-path-provisoner like you said, which means pinning the pod to a single node, but really that is a concession I am willing to make to not deal with ceph/rook.

Great writeup, it's like I'm reading about my own journey managing kubernetes clusters!

Best of luck

Reader view on Firefox does the trick for me

What a cute and charming game! Love the aesthetic of 90s Japan-only PC market. Looks so familiar and foreign at the same time, some type of electronic alternative-history; only it is conventional-history for so many :-). Thanks to the author of the patch (and description page, which is equally charming). Her homepage highlights many other "quirky" projects which I will enjoy taking a look at!

Great read, fun to see how right you can be about the popularity of Java and wrong about Python's/Ruby's at the same time

If we are talking about the same french hosting company, they have been public since late 2021

Or for "free" heating in the winter!

Sorry but that is such a high-school level "just discovered libertarianism" take. You think Musk cares about liquidity? That most banks in would not issue him an 8 figure loan in a heartbeat? Stock is not simply control, it's leverage, potential collateral etc... It is not about a number in a bank account, billionaires do not even play the same game as you and me. Dude could personally be in billions of debt, and still get to buy a couple yachts on a whim. You can't fathom the inordinate amount of wealth and leverage a billionaire has; and it has never been about liquidity.

Tangentially related, cannot help but be reminded of the "Ohnosecond": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of_meas...

To badly quote Simone de Beauvoir: "One political, religious or economic crisis will be enough to challenge women's rights, our rights. Throughout your life, you must remain vigilant". GP is right that things seem unthinkable do not stay unthinkable for eternity.

Hard disagree. Do you know how EVERYTHING around you works to the smallest scale? And if you do, when you encounter something new do you just drop everything and meticulously study and take apart that new something? The last time you could be a Renaissance man was, well, during the Renaissance.

Don't know of many unsustainable endeavors that last for over 30 years with no sign of stopping

From Europe and wasn't aware there currently were at least 2 different self-driving cab companies already operating in (at least some parts of) the USA. Feels like I just aged 15 years in 5 minutes
