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.

Don’t “need” to, no. I can put it on top, so that is what I planned to do to POC, but if I like it, I would rather not have software/resources taken up on top of resources. But I am asking if anyone has already done this either direction and their experience.

Yeah, but also remember that if there is one thing history taught us, it is that a non popular voted president can win still. Many of us were in disbelief when it happened with this guy.

Also, don’t underestimate the fact that people may disagree with Trump, but they only have to disagree/hate Biden more in order to vote for this guy.

So yes, I do agree that his polls may be increasing or rather, I never underestimate that they could be.

This is great. Then all the people complaining that lemmy.world is “too big” can now be appeased with others leaving lemmy.world. Glad to see the community solve each other’s problems organically! :)

Thank you for the update. Good work.

Thanks. I will give that a shot!

So in the example, I just put the remaining biryani with the pan and put it in my chest freezer (no cover or anything) for 20-30 minutes. I was then able to cut them into rectangles and keep formation. I used a chamber sealer (this exact one) to seal it. The biggest difference is that these don’t vacuum really. They do something with atmospheric pressure and then all of the sudden it takes that all out and creates the vacuum effect with seal. I used to have a standard vacuum sealer too and if you flash freeze, I think it should still work fine. After that, I just store them in my freezer.

Yeah, my first experience with it was around the same age when my peers had brought in their Indian food. I thought the same thing at the time. Since then, they have helped me in how to make their dishes and holy smokes. It takes a lot of work (for me at least) compared to other things I cook, but it is worth it.

With the pan in the picture, I made this for 2 people, but I took the leftovers and I flash froze it. I then cut it into squares and vacuum sealed it and then put in the freezer. So, I could make a lot and whenever I want more, I just take each serving out and reheat it (even in microwave, it comes out great again). Saves a lot of time and gives me an authentic quick meal!

Two things:

Isn’t there always trust issues though? Also, could SSL passthrough help in that?

Instead of CDN for protection, couldn’t a local WAF help solve this too?
