Why not just curl to bash with the official instructions?


Yes you can, but usually:

1) installing a k3s is just one of the things you want to do with a fresh server, so you can have all of the things bundled as a ansible playbook and k3s will just be a step in it.

2) often you want your infra as a code and be reproducible


What is the talos model?


It's basically a k8s operating system of sorts. One that basically boots up as a k8s node and that's all it does. You can't log in to it or interact with it other than as a k8s node. That reduces complexity, attack surface and makes things very repeatable


Octal is the best one. Typing this comment from it right now.

Yes octal is one of best the third party apps available and quite popular. My question was why there's no official app.


It says that in the article, yes


I guess I missed the last paragraph,

> The importance of the chipset can't be understated. As proof, to this very day, VMware virtualization software always uses the Intel 440BX as the default chipset, even with Windows 11 as both the host and guest.

It raises the obvious question of whether that will need to change, or already has.


My Tesla drove me to the supermarket today. I pushed a button and it took me there and parked in a good spot. It drove me to another state this summer. It works and works very well. Not sure if you’re up to date here because the full self driving is incredible. Nobody is even close to touching Tesla here, they’re 5 years ahead of any other car maker in this respect.


If by that you mean in terms of fatalities, then you would be accurate. Tesla advanced-driving systems have more recorded fatalities than the entire rest of the automotive industry worldwide combined.

It does not matter how you dice up the statistics (i.e., miles driven, risk levels of the drivers, by year, by location, etc). Tesla AP and FSD are the most dangerous driving systems on the road.


Tesla AP is a basic ADAS system like Toyota Safety Sense. So using FSD and AP in the same sentence basically reads like Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Microsoft Windows 11.

Waymo is better


Waymo is different. Waymo evolved over a period of 15 years into a mature and deployable robotaxi service. Waymo has a hardware strategy, enormous data infrastructure, real time data from 2 billion Maps and Navigation users, a support infrastructure that makes opex sense, which makes an ambitious expansion program possible. In other words it's got what it takes to be a real product and it is a real product. Possibly uniquely since the three Chinese Robo taxi services operates smaller fleets. Probably due to support requirements and a large number of interventions.


Mac pros


Why on earth would you buy an Intel Mac Pro instead of a much faster, cheaper, PC?


If you can buy one used for a steal, an Intel Mac Pro would make a sweet homelab server.


Even used Mac pros go for many multiples of their actual worth.


You mean "multiples of what I believe their actual worth is."


I mean many multiples of what it would cost to build an Intel desktop machine with identical specs.


Why not MongoDB?


The question should be the other way around: why mongodb? It’s not ACID compliant so has major down sides…


According to mongodb it is acid compliant.

I guess they didn’t need anything web scale.


Because it's web scale...


Mimestream is the best one hands down!


This is great!


What windows laptop is that?
