I really enjoy it. Love the 4 player option to play with my kids.

🤷‍♂️

I mean all problems are solved with another layer of abstraction right?

I’m a little lost on what each of these components are. I see .sh files so I’m assuming you’re mostly writing these with Bash?

With this level of complexity I wonder if you’d benefit from running a k8s server. Just food for thought.

Looks like you’re having a good time for it. I always laugh at the similarity with this system building and the BUS designs of Factorio.

Makes a lot of sense honestly because it’s hard to see the demand for “competent” I.T. workers evaporating unless it was b.s. work.

For the first time in my career I’m actually not in this position. Found an employer that’s an ex engineer and just “gets it”. Good compensation, good benefits, and invests in all of our understanding and careers. Sucks seeing all the people just let go so I’m surprised this survey has this result.

Maybe it was conducted before this season of let gos.

No! Maybe I should work on this because it was fairly simple for me to do after some research.

It actually was pretty straightforward. Saying this from experience as I used a tensortt container image with a 1060 for image clarification

Not docker but you could do k3s and use the Nvidia GPU operator to manage installing video drivers for you on your single node cluster.

Not true where I’m at. Lots of professionals have “work sheds” that need to be fed business class internet.

This makes me think of the original Oneida company which was also a commune. I don’t want to be that attached to a company but they flourished.

Use case for those NUCs wasn’t embedded devices but basically workstations that required nominal resources and no external GPU. Thinnish clients.

Additionally I like them as a small host able service box. I think they make great mini k8s clusters.

Exactly. That’s the “problem”. It’s a vehicle for greed not efficiency. Why because efficiency is defined by your intended effect. The cost of the world’s resources, employees quality of life are all sacrificed for ever intensifying levels of “profit” efficiency. Which is absorbed by who?

The largest investors in the world for the most part.

It’s a pipeline of inequality. Systems that were intended to be open and give power to the majority circumvented to look fair but actually provision gross inequality.

And what is the culture? You too could be a billionaire if you work hard enough. If you just contribute to the same system that is promoting inequality you too can rise up.

Am I advocating for socialism or communism? No but it’s fair to say that Capitalism has failed as well.

There needs to be something better / newer that isn’t as vulnerable to exploitation.

One of the few things I’ve actually liked from Intel. Of course it’s not profitable enough.

I hate that “profit” is the driving decision on everything. Does this product have value for our customer? Do our customers like this product. I actually know dozens of folks who enjoy and use NUCs. For hobbies, for work.

One of the most dystopian parts of modern society is that we got co-opted into believing that companies exist to make their owners/investors rich when they should be a vehicle for a group of people (employees) accomplish a goal that’s greater than an individual can accomplish. That means it’s OKAY to make a decision that results in less profit if it helps to achieve the company’s vision!

Providing consumers with budget friendly hobby PC’s should be what Intel’s mission is. Getting computing accessible, easy to use, compact.

Doesn’t provide enough shareholder value 🤢

Edit: Also since this article focuses on Intel competing with OEMS. Why shouldn’t the OEMs face competition? Intel introduced this format because OEMs were just shipping the same design and format, rinse and repeat like a money printing device. No innovation. Why? Shareholder value 🤢

I’ll have to take another crack at it sometime. You can do all kinds of container privilege modification in Kubernetes and maybe I just missed the one I need to set. I’ll try to find the analog for the one you shared here. Thanks!

I wish Home assistant was more conducive to running on Kubernetes. I tried it but so much of the local discovery doesn’t work without being in the same LAN as all your IoT devices.

The important concepts aren’t that complicated.

Instead of nesting a computer (VM’s) the operating system makes the program think it’s on its own dedicated computer (isolated file system space, cpu, and memory shares). A Dockerfile is just a basic script to construct one of these computers by commands and files.

The real reason people get excited is because they can ship a Docker “image”. It’s a layered filesystem which really is just like saying there’s a system tracking who puts what files in what place and so it’s easier to just send the whole setup to someone then try to document how you should set all that stuff up to run their software.

This is “dummier” proof than the pre-existing convention of just using a package manager to do this for you.
