Honestly, k8s + GitOps at home is my project that I’m just starting this week. I found a community around it (on Discord 🤮) called Home Operations.
Docker Hub sucks and is VERY strict with rate limits. Try ghcr.io or the aws container registry.
GitOps + Renovate
Gives you:
git revertSome stacks that work well with GitOps are:
Mixing them is a LOT of complexity though. Just pick whichever you are most comfortable with. If you want a declarative immutable OS just for running k8s, check Talos Linux.
If you don’t want to deal with GitOps, Nix or k8s, and you don’t need recent versions, just run Debian and set a cronjob for auto updates. Then only deal with potential breaking changes just once every 5(?) years or thereabouts.
How to call xargs is typically one of those things I always forget. The foreach alias is a great solution!
My current solution was to use tldr for all of these tools, but yeah if I find myself having to do a for each line, I’ll definitely steal your alias.
Luckily (knocks on wood) I almost exclusively work with yaml and json nowadays so I should just learn yq.
I think the Gripens are mostly good at operating in austere conditions. Snowy roads for runways, short distances, quick turnaround with one professional crew chief and a few conscripts, low operating cost per hour, etc.
You know, the most boring but most important part of warfare: logistics.
The French have (had?) a bit of a reputation in electronic warfare. I remember reading about (3rd gen) Mirage F1s (maybe it was Mirage 5) with Barrax jamming pods absolutely beating the shit out of fresh new 4th gen F-16A in the 80s in exercises, due to their jamming pods and BVR capabilities. Dassault still claim that their Rafale’s EW system is good enough to provide some sort of stealth.
But I don’t think anything made in Europe today gets close to what the US and Israel are doing in Electronic Warfare.
The closest to Mint in terms of:
That I know of, beside maybe OpenSUSE (have no experience with it) is Kubuntu 24.10. Yes apt will say weird things and you’ll want to uninstall snapd.
But Kubuntu 24.10, current latest, ships with Plasma 6.1. Current stable, Kubuntu 24.04 ships with Plasma 5 still.
But I assume you’re not a fan of the rolling release model like EndeavourOS (Archlinux based, KDE is the default). So if you want recent packages AND a versioned release model, that leaves only Fedora out of the distros I’m familiar with. They recently promoted the KDE version from a Spin to a full version beside the GNOME version.
But Fedora is much heavier on the FLOSS philosophy, and not as works-out-of-the-box as Mint or any Ubuntu flavor.
Debian isn’t, but it will take a long time for Plasma 6.3 to make it to Debian stable.
So yeah, I guess OpenSUSE may be your best bet EDIT: took a quick look, there’s a rolling release model of OpenSUSE called Tumbleweed. But you probably don’t like rolling release. And a versioned one called Leap. The current latest Leap version still ships Plasma 5 so that still isn’r nearly as recent as Fedora, which has had Plasma 6 in the last TWO versions.
Eurocanard fighter wants to go up -> canard pushes nose up like a boss
F-35 wants to go up -> elevator pushes tail down -> AoA increases -> nose goes up
Saab Gripen.
Not to be confused with the much more expensive twin-engined Eurocanards Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon
What is the F-35C doing in the popular club? The Canadians wanted an F-35 with a refuelling probe and a shorter landing roll, and they would sooner throw a chute and a probe on an F-35A than get a Charlie. Even the USN only got it because they were forced to, and clearly prefer their Super Hornets.
Nobody likes you, F-35C
Meanwhile Elf Ears has scored with Czech Republic, Hungary and Brazil. And the sexy but truly unbearably arrogant French gal has scored with Croatia, Egypt, Greece, India, Qatar.
Warum the fuck nicht?
