In essence, figuring out spaceflight is one very complex puzzle and nobody can show you the solution beforehand. Maybe that's why I have always loved "The Talos Principle". Now that the remaster is out, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about it and how it relates to KSP

It took a couple of weeks learning how the the values yaml files for rook ceph are supposed to be written. But I have finally managed to get a rook ceph storage cluster configured on a Talos kubernetes cluster!

I can do this stuff!

Next step is getting it to work with an ArgoCD CI/CD pipeline.

I just added a #TalosLinux 1.9.3 (#Talos) #Vagrant box to the #ARM64 collection. This allows you to run Talos on your #AppleSilicon #MacBook. This is control-plane only, but you can patch the manifest to also run workloads.

You can find it right here:

Want to play with Kubernetes? Gyptazy shows a fun way to do it.

Excerpt:

Talos Linux is an operating system built specifically for Kubernetes, focusing on security, immutability, and minimalism, designed to work across a variety of environments, including cloud platforms, bare metal servers, and virtualization platforms, providing a versatile solution for modern infrastructure needs.

Creating a #Kubernetes cluster in less than 10 minutes? What do use in 2025?

Let’s see and create a three node cluster in just minutes!

Yay! My #talos #libvirt #terraform module is working! Now to add cilium support.

I am close to giving up on my Fiji s720 k8s cluster. Whenever I try to do something storage related (rook-ceph, openebs, longhorn) nodes just go 100% CPU and fail to schedule pods.
I can keep it as pure control-plane, yet it's 45w for those 3 nodes.

TLDR: looking for advice on storage solutions or additional budget worker nodes or any other ideas. Just don't tell me to stop using k8s

There is some 'upgrade hope' on the POWER9 front

Attackers are pummeling networks around the world with millions of #login attempts

Cisco’s #Talos #security team is warning of a large-scale #credential compromise campaign that’s indiscriminately assailing networks with login attempts aimed at gaining unauthorized access to #VPN, #SSH, and web application accounts.

"This is the DRAM initialization code from the reference
implementation released by #Mediatek for MT8195."

This is deepest cleaning I've seen outside of #Talos.

Don't get too excited, power management is still a #blob .

That #Chromebook is pretty sweet, tho:

Excellent and detailed review of many "container OS" available for #Kubernetes, including #flatcar, #k3os, #bottlerocket, #talos, #kairos...

I like the detailed, hands-on, step-by-step instructions (useful to get a sense of what it entails to deploy them) and the recap matrix at the end!
