The "Romulan Comfort Zone" sounds like a Romulan spa that's also a Romulan black site.

And you're going to honestly believe a mod's reasoning at face-value?

Irrelevant. As a literate human being, I can click on your username and see your submissions. I can search the alt they listed and read those submissions. And, finally, I can look at those and arrive at the conclusion that both of those seem like trolling and the same person.

Now that you've been sufficiently fed, I bid you adieu with my handy dandy block button.

You mean this post that's not removed? https://kbin.melroy.org/m/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world/t/1316788

(Edit: Fixed wrong post link. That link was to this post 🤦)

Looks like a cromulent, albeit absolute shit, opinion to me. So far so good (using that phrase loosely). BUT... you seem to have behaved very asshole-ish in the comments.

And the modlog says Trolling and Ban Evasion and listed another alt with a similar post history to yours that was also banned for trolling and hasn't posted since your account was created. 🤔

So, maybe instead of whinging you do some self reflection, yeah?

If nothing else, this meme at least made me go hug my dog.

It's called a joke.

Yep, that's why I haven't messed with Kubernetes either; way overkill for a homelab and especially so since I downsized due to soaring electricity costs here.

The only reason I gave up on Docker Swarm was that it seemed pretty dead-end as far as being useful outside the homelab. At the time, it was still competing with Kubernetes, but Kube seems to have won out. I'm not even sure Docker CE even still has Swarm. It's been a good while since I messed with it. It might be a "pro" feature nowadays.

Edit: Docker 28.5.2 still has Swarm.

Still, it was nice and a lot easier to use than Kubernetes once you wrapped your head around swarm networking.

I had 15 of the 2013-era 5010 thin clients. Most of them have had their SSDs and RAM upgraded.

They've worn many hats since I've had them, but some of their uses and proposed uses were:

1. I did a 15 node Docker Swarm setup and used that to both run some of my applications as well as learn how to do horizontal scaling.
2. After I tore down the Docker Swarm cluster, I set them up as diskless workstations to both learn how to do that and used them at a local event as web kiosks (basically just to have a bunch of stations people could use to fill out web based forms).
3. One of them was my router for a good while. Only replaced it in that role when I got symmetric gigabit fiber. Before that, I used VLANs to to run LAN and WAN over its single ethernet port since I had asymmetric 500 Mbps and never saturated the port.
4. Run small/lightweight applications in highly-available pairs/clusters
5. Use them to practice clustered services (Multi-master Galera/MariaDB, multi-master LDAP, CouchDB, etc)
6. Use them as Snapcast clients in each room
7. Add wireless cards, install OpenWRT, and make powerful access points for each room (can combine with the above and also be a Snapcast client)
8. Set them up as VPN tunnel endpoints, give them out to friends, and have a private network

Of the 15, I think I'm only actively using 4 nowadays. One is my MPD+Snapcast server, one is running HomeAssistant, ,the third is my backup LDAP server, and one runs my email server (really). The rest I just spin up as needed for various projects; I downsized my homelab and don't have a lot of spare capacity for dev/test VMs these days, so these work great in place of that.

Two thoughts:

1. I'm genuinely surprised. What's the catch? Are they just waiting for a better case like the one in Texas?
2. Eat shit, Kim Davis.

and "crisis actors"

Nice. Yeah, that's what I'm looking to do. Grid is just there when I'm not generating enough onsite.

The good thing is there seem to be plenty of options these days.
