Talos keeps impressing me. Now they came up with this PXE boot provider that sounds really nice. I need to try it at some point.
Crap, ArgoCD is much much more powerful than I thought it was, and I might end up using it instead of Flux now that I'm much less memory-constrained.
I'll find a way not to throw away all that writing I did for a Flux-based cluster anyway 😄

Hang on, you can use cloud tech to make your homelab easier to manage?
Yes you can! I spin up and configure VMs automatically and safely on my homelab. Come with me as I write and cast spells to spin up VMs and deploy Kubernetes on them!

I really enjoy self-hosting things, I just wish I didn't have to do it to keep my data safe, because some less savvy people can't afford to do it.
But since I'm self-hosting, I might as well use tools that make my life easier. I recently discovered that Kubernetes is not just for large scale organizations, it solves problems individual self-hosters do have.

Me in March: "k3s sounds like a fun toy, I'll play with it a bit"
Me in July, emerging from the homelab rabbit hole with my hands full of VMs, clusters and services of all kinds:

Simulating Network Latency in Kubernetes with Traffic Control (tc)
Simulating Network Latency in Kubernetes with Traffic Control (tc)
I used to think Kubernetes was complex machinery solving scalability problems I would never have. I was wrong.
Kubernetes has less moving parts than my handmade deployments. It's sturdier than my hand written playbooks. It solves problems I already have.
