ARM and RISC are not equal. The fastest current RISC CPU is an absolute potato. Then you've got ARM-based chips way faster than a Pi. Then there's silicone like the M4. It's a big uphill for RISC, which is why this, and the investments from the Chinese, are good but longer-term plays.

 

Hi all,

I've been running a bunch of services in docker containers using Docker Compose for a while now, with data storage on ZRAID mirrored NVME and/or ZRAID2 HDDs.

I've been thinking about moving from my single server setup to three micro-servers (Intel N150s), both for redundancy, learning, and fun.

Choosing Kubernetes was easy, but I'd like to get some outside opinions on storage. Some examples of how I'm using storage:

  1. Media and large data storage: Currently on the ZRAID2 HDDs, will stay here but be migrated to a dedicated NAS
  2. High IO workloads like Postgresql and email: Currently running on the NVMEs
  3. General low-volume storage: Also currently on NVMEs, but different use case. These are lower IO, like data storage for Nextcloud, Immich, etc

I'm a huge fan of being able to snapshot with ZFS, as I mirror all my data off-site with hourly pushes for some container data, and daily for the rest. I'd like to be able to continue this kind of block-level backups if possible.

Assume I'm a noob at Kubernetes storage (have been reading, but still fresh to me). I'd love to know how others would set up their storage interfaces for this.

I'm trying to understand if there's a way to have the storage "RAIDed" across the drives in the three micro-servers, or if things work differently than I expect. Thanks!

This person is a consumer, just like you. Your gaming is no more important than their fiddling. Your angst is pointed in the wrong direction.

Yea, BI didn't want to get beat to the headline, so they want to press, but what a wasted opportunity.

@knowledge_seeker@lemmy.world this comment is mostly it. Live in America for a bit and you'll see there are people that way and there aren't. And guess what, every other country, too. Americans also have speech patterns that push more air, which sounds loud and projecting to many other nationalities. (Am American)

This is so, so variable. Cost of living in US can swing dramatically with food and housing.

But surely you know another beekeeper who is on Lemmy? There must be 1s of you!

But you'd need to spend some of that memory convincing yourself you actually were in a time loop, or you'd spend the whole time thinking the memory is some weird dream.

For me, the pinned issue keeps me from using it: https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer/issues/183

And for GOG you can have something refresh a link daily and it grabs whatever is there.

But immich does so much more than faces. I searched for "tent on the beach" the other day, worked like a charm.

So. Much. Better. I love Nextcloud but Immich uploads just work, private AI tagging, better UX, maps, it's just better.
