A friend called this "the ol' spitroast" and I'm dead.

So, switched over to Ubuntu-Asahi on my MacBook Pro M2 and have been finding fun workarounds for the current lack of support for a couple things. This is my fave so far - forced my Thunderbolt hub to talk USB-C 3.1 by way of a couple of adapters I had lying around lol

When you're both a gamer and technology professional and you've got your desktop doubling as a K8S node on a network with limited GPU compute, you do what you must.

@SaguaroLynx self-hosting obviously impacts some of the collaborative potential depending on how many devs are in your house, but I'm fortunate to have at least a couple here who do the git thing, and I have some plans to open it up to a small circle of trusted folks separately.

Github the tool is pretty useful, but getting my lifelines out of the cloud is pretty important to me.

@SaguaroLynx I self-host it. Quite powerful, though I suspect more chonky than it needs to be on account of being built on a whole lot of Ruby.

@nicr9 sweet. I've heard about ArgoCD (another person's at-work tool), but haven't really looked at the dev side yet since I've been so focused on migrating my virtual infra. Just been trying to absorb all the underpinnings of Kubernetes. Hell of a learning curve but I think I understand some things decently now =)

Personally, I kinda like the use of namespaces for "application suites" similar to how I used Docker Compose namespaces. This covers some trust-related considerations between apps, but not necessarily users. Also not necessarily trust-zones or more broad service mesh kinda concepts. Maybe that's better solved through more/multi cluster, I dunno, but it seems bothersome.

Am I the only one who feels, so far, that Kubernetes needs more (optional?) organizational hierarchy both above and below namespaces?

Like yeah namespaces can be pretty arbitrary, but deciding what concepts a namespace should encompass seems to come with tradeoffs no matter what you choose.

@nicr9 BTW, strong recommend on BGP for LoadBalancer ingresses, services, or gateways if your home router supports it.

I had a ton of issues with L2 announcements (wifi in particular wasn't getting announcements consistently) but even just internally on a LAN, bgp is a great way to keep inbound IPs for services separate but still accessible.
