x2tyfi commented on Uncloud - Tool for deploying containerised apps across servers without k8s uncloud.run/... · Posted by u/rgun

jabr · 3 months ago

I can only speak for myself, but I considered a few options, including "simple k8s" like [Skate](https://skateco.github.io/), and ultimately decided to build on uncloud.

It was as much personal "taste" than anything, and I would describe the choice as similar to preferring JSON over XML.

For whatever reason, kubernetes just irritates me. I find it unpleasant to use. And I don't think I'm unique in that regard.

My home lab has grown over the years, now consisting of a physical Proxmox cluster, and a handful of servers (RaspPi and micro hosts). A couple years back I got tired of failures related to host-level Docker issues, so I got a NAS and started using NAS storage for everything I could.

I also re-investigated containerization - weighing Docker Swarm vs K3s - and settled on Docker Swarm.

I’ve hated it ever since. Swarm is a PITA to use and has all kinds of failure modes that are different than regular old Docker Compose.

I’ve considered migrating again - either to Kubernetes, or just back to plain Docker - but haven’t done it. Maybe I should look at Uncloud?

This is great. I remember playing this for the first time at a Wizards of the Coast in the mall. They had 8 or so PCs on a LAN in the back of the store. My first true LAN party I guess.

Same, one of my very first gaming experiences. Nothing but great nostalgia!

Huge nostalgia wave seeing some of these. Many of them are hard for me to pinpoint but unmistakably familiar.

My first website was a geocities site back in ~1999, which was dedicated to StarCraft. I wish I could find it now; I remember it being really aesthetically pleasing - it would be funny to see how it held up.

“At the primary moment of disruption, we saw YemenNet (aka TeleYemen) lose transit from BICS (AS6774) and Global Cloud Xchange (AS15412) at 22:32 UTC and revert to satellite service from BusinessCom (AS197206)”

It’s never good when your primary ISP’s only connection out to the world is via satellite

What tool do you use to track bandwidth usage on your network?

That's what happened with Prime TV, and I absolutely expect it for the AI, too. And it might finally mean I cancel my Prime membership.

Amazon Prime’s price hikes have a predictable cadence: * 2014: $79 to $99

* 2018: $99 to $119

* 2022: $119 to $139

We should expect a price hike from $139 to $159 in 2026, assuming the trend continues.

The secret sauce to Amazon's success is an obsessive compulsive focus on money.

x2tyfi · 6 months ago

This was not my experience, reflecting on about 10 years of service in AWS network engineering (both as an engineer and manager). I’m at Oracle now, which, by contrast, is orders of magnitude more focused on revenue/spend.

Is this the $3500 one?

That was their Digits box.

I’m not in this space, so I don’t know what’s normal, but I guess I’m a little surprised to see only 10 gig Ethernet for high speed connectivity.

Yeah, it’s miles better than WiFi. But if there was something I’d think maybe benefit from Thunderbolt this would’ve been it.

The ability to transfer large models or datasets that way just seems like it would be much faster and a real win for some customers.

You’re almost always going to bottleneck on your home internet or upstream ISP, rather than this local interface. That being said, you aren’t going to be waiting too long either way, depending on download speed. Deepseek R1 is 671GB. Multiply by 8 to get into bits: 5368Gb At full 10gbps (which, again, you probably won’t get): 5368Gb / 10gbps = 537 seconds to download 537s / 60 = 8.95 minutes. Call it 10m with overhead.

The conciousness is an illusion irks me.

I do feel things at times and not other times. That is the most fundamental truth I am sure of. If that is an "illusion" one can go the other way and say everything is conscious and experiences reality as we do

x2tyfi · 7 months ago

The larger question isn’t if we feel or not. One of the questions is: is our “window” into consciousness occurring before or after decisions are made.

If it’s before, then you can easily tie consciousness and free will together. If not, we are effectively watching videos of our bodies operate. Oh - and there is no spoon.
