I still use Cloudflare Tunnel(cap) but anything new is going to OpenZiti/Zrok (grow). Openziti/Zrok are amazing.

on the resource part - try running k8s on Talos linux. much less overhead.

History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes. Komsomol/Soviet, Red guards/China. Ideology fan the flame of youth into fanatic. Who/what is providing the necessary guardrail? God speed America. Future belong to the young. Make good/long term decision.

The similarity with Red Guards is too uncanny to ignore.

I guess we should be thankful that the new Red Guards aren't beating federal employees to death. Yet.

I sincerely hope my analogy is just me being chicken little/sky is falling.

In the physical world, inflicting large-scale harm requires a significant number of people wielding fists or basic weapons. The digital landscape not so much.

Most techies belong to as Terry Pratchett put it "'skilled artisans', the people too low down the social scale to be movers and shakers but slightly too high to be easily moved or shook."

I think I will be ok but empathized those who will be negatively impacted.

Instead learning the "new norm" every couple of years. Which can be discouraging. Just prepare for the end, total blindness. Aka pay the toll once.

what no 100g or IB? Those price point have come to a point where for home lab is bearable. Well we are talking about overkill. If one want to play around with network do it virtually is a much cheaper way to go: https://www.gns3.com/

I run GNS3 on a three node HA proxmox cluster :)

Infiniband? Don't tease me with a good time

JK, wife would kill me

I used to specialized in these service enable services. DHCP/DNS/AAA/LDAP and etc; low level stuff tend to get take for granted. It's not difficult but there are much nuances. Not typical visible to layer7/Front end development per se. Embrace the "and". If you are a FE/BE dev AND understand system/dns/network. You just set yourself apart from the next person.
