I'm on here looking for text indexers and everything is 'lightning fast exoscale terafloops that scales to enterprise quantawarbles with polytopplic performanations' and it would be great if this industry could breathe into a bag until it remembers that one person with one computer is a constituency that matters.
If your “open source software” requires a datacenter-scale strata and is optimized for, or maybe only meaningful to, datacenter-scale problems, is not open source in any way that matters. “Free as in corporate risk management” and “free as in labor arbitrage” are not aspirations.
@mhoye This is one of the problems with Kubernetes.

@dmaonR

Free as in your first hit is always free.

@dmaonR respectfully, my dinky homelab k3s cluster, running on a couple of Raspberries Pi, begs to differ. Perfectly feasible and practical to run k8s on personal-scale hardware.

Unless I've misunderstood what problem you are referring to? In which case, apologies.

(Ok so *technically* I have added a beefy PowerEdge node to that cluster too - but that's because I *wanted* to, not because of scale requirements/limitations)
