  • I came to get away from the main stream socials.

    You still can. Just block threads.net instance in things like Mastodon and Lemmy.

    I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

    Your data is public in fediverse. They can scrape even right as we speak.

    I would need someone to confirm this, but I have heard that if you block, then it prevents their instance from scraping your data because they shouldn’t receive your content if they are blocked, but it doesn’t change the public data being available by other means anyways.

    I came to find other like minded people.

    Follow hashtags and communities that are your interest. Block users and/or instances you would rather not see or be part of. Also, you can find an instance that fits your values that is already blocking instances you disagree with.

    I am mostly indifferent of Threads joining at this time, but those that are not in favor, there are options.


  • I don’t have experience with the NUC for my own homelab and kubernetes, but the main things I will say with any kubernetes is the RAM. I have 4 servers on VMware (just to get experience there) and then have Rancher (like Openshift) across them (both a management server and then a 3 VM cluster). Every resource is important, but the RAM is what was eaten up before anything else for me. I have Lenovo Tiny m910q (x 4) with 64GB and that allows me a full on cluster and then some with other VMs too.

    Sounds like you made a good choice going with a NUC and 64GB ram. You just may find you want to add another or two depending how much you go beyond just experimenting with k8s and using it to host most of your homelab services.






  • Thanks for that feedback. I also understand and have read that you are basically taking a bunch of tech that is it’s own tech in it’s own and then openstack glued it together (like you are stating).

    I also see that there are many different projects in how you can deploy this too. Some say “don’t use ____ if you want multi node” and some are like “this _____ is the easiest to run”. Did you just use whatever Openstack suggested to install or did you use one of these other wrapper projects that helped too? I understand that some of this may have changed from 6 years ago though.
