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.
gollark: My entire storage setup is the now-probably-11-years-or-so-old 1TB disk in my server, various random external ones I do backups to, and the tiny SSD in my laptop.
gollark: Aren't the big ones SMR or something?
