  • Tailscale/headscale/wire guard is different from a normal vpn setup.

    VPN: you tunnel into a remote network and all your connections flow through as if you’re on that remote network.

    Tailscale: your devices each run the daemon and basically create a separate, encrypted, dedicated overlay network between them no matter where they are or what network they are on. You can make an exit node where network traffic can exit the overlay network to the local network for a specific cidr, but without that, you’re only devices on the network are the devices connected to the overlay. I can setup a set of severs to be on the Tailscale overlay and only on that network, and it will only serve data with the devices also on the overlay network, and they can be distributed anywhere without any crazy router configuration or port forwarding or NAT or whatever.

  • Honestly, that sounds like a keepalived replacement or equivalent. I went with keepalived because I’m also using the IP for the proxmox cluster itself so it had to be outside kube, but the idea is the same. If all you’re using the IP for is kube, go with kube-vip! But let us know how it works!

  • You’ll want to look into “keepalived” to setup a shared IP across all worker nodes in the cluster and either directly forward, or setup haproxy on each to do the forwarding from that keepalived IP to the ingresses.

    I’m running 6 kube nodes (running Talos) running in a 3node proxmox cluster. Both haproxy and keepalived run on the 3 nodes to manage the IP and route traffic to the appropriate backend. Haproxy just allows me to migrate nodes and still have traffic hit an ingress kube node.

    Keepalived manages which node is the active node and therefore listens to the IP based on backend communication and a simple local script to catch when nodes can’t serve traffic.

  • But do people like “her” content? Like, I’ll be honest, radio mid day to me is very much a “spin some hits and good jams and don’t talk over everything or interrupt” kind of thing. I don’t want a DJ talking over or between tracks other than the occasional mention of what the song was. A number of stations I’ve frequented in the past were literally just a DJ’s playlist with ads interjecting every so often.

  • I completely agree, but every week or two is too long. At one point we had ours running builds + automated regression testing => release twice or more a day. Along with automatic change logs and monitoring, It was so nice. Tiny updates are always better to test and know exactly what/where/how a failure or positive change occurs when the cadence is that fast. The devs loved it, the QA loved it, and as a DevOps, I loved it. We were even able to do AB testing and rolling updates.

    It only got worse when management changed hands and some people decided on going agile in a “Scrum-but” method and it’s been a drag that sprints are 3 weeks long. Now releases take longer, have larger impact for better or worse, and regression testing is much more complex and I have to be more involved in releasing new code. The faster cadence meant it happened so often it was fully automated and I didn’t even know when most went out unless I was watching a dashboard.

  • Current homelab+desktop+laptop host count here is 22. All anime characters or references. It’s a fairly large pool to pull from, so it’s worked for me for 20+ years now. Mobile devices (phones, tablets, etc) and game consoles aren’t really as clever though.

    All of them are in a piHole DNS though so no host files keeps it easy to track. Services have names that mostly are just what they are though and cnames to the matching host that hosts them (or load balancer, whatever)

  • As someone who’s done this for 20yrs and has been a manager or lead for 5 of that, these are pretty spot on… though I’ll say “must be a team player” for me is less don’t question authority and more “your manager is too busy for your constant questions… talk to your peers and figure it out amongst yourselves, I got shit to do.”

  • In about 1 in 10,000 who get sick with measles and recover from it, the virus lies dormant in the brain for about a decade. It then can reactivate, causing a severe, progressive dementia called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which is fatal within one to three years.

    There is no treatment or cure for the disease. I have seen a couple of suspected cases of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, and none of these patients survived, despite our best efforts.

    Unless you have a legit reason, Give your kids the vaccine, people! Do you want your kid to die a horrible death? Or feel groggy for a day or two and then live a normal healthy life? What the hell is wrong with people?

  • Got a plex lifetime sub like 7 years ago… As soon as Jellyfin allows downloads for offline viewing, I’m jumping ship. I know I’ll have to figure out TV listing data for OTA recordings, but that seems like a small price to pay. I’ve already got Jellyfin setup and running in my Kubernetes cluster for my video backups, but plex thus far “just works”.

  • Nice, we’ll all look out for an update in a year!

    I try to mix brands and lots (buy a few from one retailer and some from another). I used to work for a storage/NAS company and we had many incidents when we’d fill a 12 or 24 drive raid with drives right from the same order and had multiple drives die within hours of each other. Which isn’t usually enough for replacement/resilvering.
