Notes
gollark: Wait what? Are you sure that's not a shell feature?
gollark: Isn't kubernetes containerization or whatever *anyway*?
gollark: I'm pretty sure containers can do network interface stuff fine.
gollark: I've gone for Norse gods.
gollark: SAN stuff is just distributed raw-block storage, right? How do you actually use that? Don't filesystems basically need exclusive access to the storage?
