Suñé  72' Report
Attendance: 69,090
Referee: Arturo Ithurralde
gollark: They share kernels, which means slightly less security but more lightweightness.
gollark: OS-level, though.
gollark: Kubernetes seems hilariously overcomplicated and æ.
gollark: I go for directly running stuff. At some point I investigated elegantly™ having all my stuff dockerized and with docker compose files/config in a repository, but gave up on this.
gollark: This is not at all going to go horribly wrong at some point.
