Subscription form looks like a cigarette with a white field for an email and orange submit button. Nice touch/conicidence.

Jopa means ass in russian, this reminded me of Pidora.

Pleasantly surprised to see SmartOS and zones used. Nice writeup.

Proxmox (and XCP-ng?) seems to be "the" (?) popular alternative to VMware after Broadcom's private equity-fuel cash grab.
(Perhaps if you're a Microsoft shop you're looking at Hyper-V?)
Two days ago saw a shop that moved to Incus. Seems to be a viable alternative too.

Have you managed to setup CI/CD with Nomad? Last time i've checked it was non-trivial task.
At work i use terraform to configure nomad/consul combo, so basically just a tf with Gitlab.
At home i am using this approach. Dumb, but works well. https://royportas.com/posts/simple-gitops-with-nomad

Been using Nomad and different sorts of K8S for the last 6+ years at home/work. Nomad is easier to bootstrap, lighter on resources and so so so much easier wrap your head around. Just Nomad + NFS server, from my perspective, is a perfect start for a homelab/small project. You can add complexity to it as you go. It is a real joy work with once you after a day of tinkering. Want to run on windows? Sure. BSD, there is a driver for it. Don't want Docker? There is Podman driver. OCI sucks? Just run binaries without isolation. Need VM's? You can switch from Proxmox to purely Nomad setup with Qemu driver with a bit of sweat. Illumos zones on OmniOS? weird, but with quite a bit of time, but there was a repo on github, just need to build the binary with the patch.
And while k8s can do all the same things and much more with a bit of trying, but it requires a mission control the second you add a second developer, you will have built-in primitives that will compete all the time with the ones you bolt-on, etc etc. Nomad feels much more opinionated and in a good way.
Nomad is one of those things that gets you 90% of the way with 20% of effort, and only then if you need something, you can add things to it. K8S is great, way more flexible, there are managed options out there, massive ecosystem, but it always feels like out of the box you need to glue 5 different tools to it, just get it going.
Also Incus. Stephane Graeber is doing lords work by sticking to his thing. That's also super fun to mess with.
Oh yeah my polish grandmother (100 and still kicking!) cooked some. Tastes like spinach and was great.
Fun story (semi related) she visited us in the US in 2015 and my sister served her kale. She amusingly said: “I haven’t had this since ww2” apparently when food was scarce they grew kale which was easy to grow in Poland and packed with nutrients
My family in Belarus used to make a soup with it. Exactly like spinach, maybe more fibery texture.
Uh, the Sahara is absolutely massive and insanely deadly for the unprepared and challenging even for the prepared. Especially in the context of ancient times, it was an almost sure death to enter the Sahara in an attempt to cross it. Temps swing from 100F (38C) to 120F (49C) during the day to below freezing at night in the winter. Water is extremely scarce. It is 3.6 million sq miles or 9.2 million sq km.
It spans huge across Africa. It's part of the same climate system and cycles as the Arab desert.
If an environmental feature leads to racial and species adaptations, you should note that its not some propaganda but an actual feature of physical reality that nature and mankind had to work around (and largely avoid).
You should also avoid assuming that everything is a conspiracy. Deserts are actually very harsh and deadly especially without motorized vehicles and modern infrastructure like paved roads and electricity.
Sure, never said anything about it being a nice place to be, but whatever.
Wow, what a tangent! The Sahara is extremely inhospitable and was harsh enough to separate human populations for long enough that it lead to racial differentiation between sub-Saharan Africans and north Africans.
Yeah, because clearly Sahara is the only desert on Earth. And ofc, all of Sahara is like that through and through.
