Maybe pick a cheaper provider such as digital ocean for managed k8s?

fhaldridge7··on Total data loss after botched GitOps and failed backups
I tried cloud-hypervisor recently and it booted the VM in 70ms, but I have no idea how to deploy this. We already have a deployment workflow for OCI images, doing this for VMs would mean a big refactoring
fhaldridge7··on HashiCorp switching to BSL shows a need for open charter companies
what makes you think so? I didn't use nomad but looked into it recently. The github repo has multiple commits every day and there are new nomad videos on the hashicorp youtube channel every few weeks
fhaldridge7··on Ask HN: How is/was your job search this year?
Very difficult. My previous company had to file for bankruptcy in March and I've been unemployed since then.

I've 16 years of experience in IT and applied to 27 jobs since March. 17 rejections, 8 didn't respond. With the 2 remaining jobs I'm in the final stage but there are other candidates and the companies can choose the best one, I don't have high hopes.

I feel horrible, it's really taxing on me, the waiting time between interviews, checking emails hoping to get an update just to get notified that people are on vacation, everything is delayed. The companies have multiple candidates to choose from, they are not in a hurry.

fhaldridge7··on Ask HN: How do you synchronise your notes?
Same setup for me. Obsidian+Syncthing+Restic (with B2). Works great

I use pandoc. Write in markdown and then convert it to HTML (standalone mode) using the cli.

The reviews on goodreads need to be moderated, some comments have nothing to do with a book review
fhaldridge7··on Ask HN: Is the market bad, or am I having the worst luck job hunting?
Great project but I don't have LinkedIn. I've previously used ChatGPT to do something similar. Wrote a text about myself, copy-pasted the job description and then asked it to generate resume bullet points. It worked well. Maybe your site can do something similar? Instead of requiring a LinkedIn job posting, users can copy/paste a job description.
fhaldridge7··on Ask HN: Is the market bad, or am I having the worst luck job hunting?
I would it very strange to get happy birthday messages from former colleagues. Do people really do this?
fhaldridge7··on How I run my servers (2022)

fhaldridge7··on Ask HN: How could I safely contact drug cartels?
Hello Chris, I'm the leader of the IBF Cartel. We are a new player on the market and I recommend choosing us instead of the Sinaloa Cartel. When not promoting the growth and productivity of our farmers through proactive measures I also like to chill and answer Ask HN posts.

We are a next-generation cartel transforming the way drugs reach your table. We are revolutionizing the entire drug supply chain by leveraging cutting-edge technology, new exploitation practices, and a customer-centric approach.

We kindly request that you provide your contact information, including your full name, address, and phone number, in order for us to reach out to you.
