I have limited ram and want scale to zero for apps that use a lot of ram, but I only use one of at a time like game servers, or things that can be done over night while I sleep like media encoding.
The main reason I went to k8s, is for the not having to think about what machine will have enough resources to run an app, just throw it at the cluster and it figures out where there's capacity.
And, I want hardware failing/getting replaced to be a non issue.
edit: I wanted to add that my hobby is not systems admin, I want it to be as hands off as possible. Self-hosting is a means to an end. I have so far saved over $200/month in subscriptions by replacing subscriptions I was using with self-hosted alternatives. I can now use that money on my actual hobbies.
It works hand in hand to be honest, because Claude will read tickets that match criteria of what I'm looking to work on, and tack them on to its todo list, it just becomes and overview of my tasks.
People shouldn't have to pay $$$ for a 128GB upgrade when a 1TB microSDXC card is under $200. It feels like a trick to sell cloud storage and new phones.
Any day that I learn something new about color is a good day.
Here's my favorite color factoid: There is no such thing as monochromatic pink. You have to make it by combining the two ends of the visible spectrum: somethung reddish and something violet-ish. So that means there is no pink in a rainbow, strictly speaking.
This is conflating two kinds of pink. The pink made from combining ends of the spectrum is most commonly termed ‘hot pink.’
The other, very often just ‘pink,’ is predominantly a light red. A quick and sloppy way to describe this is a light grey with a raised red component.
Also, you can make hot pink without needing to use spectral violet (the ‘end’ of the spectrum) since there are combinations of blue and red that are ‘metameric,’ creating a perceptually matching response in our eyes.
