Now make it open source

Eh, they’ve thought of that.

Openshift uses immutable os images and can install over PXE. You can even automate deployment using ipmi/idrac, though that was really buggy when I tried it in 2022.

I have run plenty of clusters on bare metal, both Openshift and vanilla. No VMs are needed.

Look at Openshift if you’re looking for immutable, production ready Linux infrastructure. Containers are quickly replacing VMs.

Should work well for that!

If you use cloudflare for dns only and turn cloudflare proxying off, none of your data or traffic goes to cloudflare’s servers. They just act as your dns server, telling your devices what IP to go to.

it might be better to skip the cloud server and use cloudflare for dynamic dns. The standardized way to restrict access to websites is with client certificates or a basic authentication (user/pass) proxy. That would help avoid issues with internet traffic passing through the VPN accidentally.

Regarding size, the steamdeck already has an M.2 for storage, and a CAMM2 module for ram would take about the same amount of space as a second M.2 drive. The only other major thing for repairability/upgradability would be less glue on the battery and threaded inserts, which doesn’t add size.

The entertainment system might run something windows based, but there are dozens of microcontrollers that do run linux.

Most cars already run on Linux

Nixos’ weakness is definitely it’s documentation. There’s often configuration snippets you can copy and paste, though. If you go with NixOS, make sure to come back with questions, the community is very helpful.

Ah, fair enough. I seem to have misrembered nifty 50 lenses as being specifically for portraits.

Strange technical writing in this review, and a misleading headline. The phone has a 35mm equivalent focal length lens, it doesn’t have a “35mm” full-frame sensor.

A 35mm primary lens is unusual for phone cameras, as usually the primary lens is a wide-angle lens, but 35mm is still quite wide. It isn’t very different from the iPhone’s focal length eqv of 26mm.

In terms of using it as a zoom lens, typically portraits are taken with 50mm lenses, and the iPhone’s “telephoto” lens is 77mm, so 35mm isn’t very narrow, either.

Also, Nubia seems to be a brand from ZTE. It sounds like a Nokia ripoff, and aren’t ZTE banned in the US? Is this phone the result of the CCP dodging trade restrictions? That seems more interesting than a slightly narrower camera lens.

Aren’t coops basically democratic condos? In Sweden we have “bostadsrätt” which are condos governed by a democratic resident association. They’re good for democratic control over housing, but they still require a mortgage and they’re still subject to market speculation. Some of the apartments can be rentals, but that still means you have a landlord, just that your landlord is your neighbors.

Having the city or the state as your landlord seems like it would be more ideal, or at least a balance of coops and public housing.

SteamOS is immutable, you always get the same update no matter what you were running before. I think the only files that can get out of sync are in your home folder.

Probably a traffic_bytes_counter got reset. You can see a lot of graphs went negative at the same time, so something probably restarted.

Metrics software like Prometheus will handle counter resets correctly for graphs like this.

Unraid is bad at NAS and bad at docker. Go with a separate Nas and application server.
