I so resonate with this.
Lately, I've been finding a sense of support and alignment of these two needs in communities of others with a similar long-view mindset, making plans and pulling together. Nix has definitely been giving… sunbeam.city/@edrex/10809882…
Ok, I'm joining mastodon again, since so many of the communities I'm interested in are here. For the past few years I've been pretty much Matrix/Signal only, and I need to practice living publicly, without being a corporate serf.
I need to figure out how to get the crossposter to link back to Mastodon somehow. I am @edrex@sunbeam.city
Testing host OSes and container runtimes for edge devices. Ruled out #k3s (👆idle CPU usage), #armbian (stale host pkgs).
Docker-compose seems solid, and a host OS based on either @AlpineLinux or @yoctoproject. About to test @balena_io, wary of lockin. Any experiences?
#mapping peeps: @pdxmutualaid is looking to streamline matching food/pharm pickup requests with volunteers. Makes me think of @HOTOSM a bit. Anyone aware of geo-sensitive dispatch queues? @lyzidiamond @geografa @donpdonp plz fwd to specialists. Looking at custom py soln.
FTA: "These filaments counter-rotate with their neighbors, creating a new array of miniature vortices / Those vortices also form filaments, which in turn form vortices / team observed three generations of this cascading cycle / a Russian nesting doll of disorder." New physics 🤩
Turbulence is everywhere, but it is one of the least understood phenomena in classical physics. Now, researchers may have identified a fundamental mechanism by which turbulence develops by smashing vortex rings head-on into each other buff.ly/388p3bb

Another data point. Massive drop in air pollution in manufacturing belt of China, where goods that supply much of the world are made. Many factories offline xitter.cf/EricLiptonNYT/status/1…
speedrunning single-node #k3s cluster setup on armhf (#hardmode). Even at tiny scale this kind of setup is worthwhile since it automates so much. I'll likely migrate my #libresh v1 (docker-compose nodes) once this is proved out #infrainahurry
now that I have a single node cluster with my armv7 Odroid HC1, I'm going to add a spare RPi3 (poor io but pretty good compute) and as soon as I get around to swapping the dead mobo for ebay part, a beefy dell Xeon workstation. 3 nodes, 3 microarchitectures :D
setting up a highly automated web app hosting cluster on whatever hardware you have lying around your house is super easy these days. If you have been dipping your toes in the #homelab waters, I would encourage you to jump in :)
