ADVENTURES WITH KUBEADM ON OPENSUSE KUBIC

This video is a little kludgy.  It was literally my first time putting together the cluster and if you notice at the end, it doesn’t actually work. None of the worker nodes are actually usable. Hopefully that will be fixed soon.

LATTEPANDA

I picked up a new toy this week to replace my aging and rarely-used Raspberry Pi 3 (original). It came with Windows 10 already on it and I immediate went to the forums for a howto on installing Linux. There is a guide on how to install Ubuntu 16.04 but it seems to require a lot of extra steps (special kernel, etc).  I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it with OpenSUSE. At worst it would fail and I would be left with Ubuntu.

FIXING ARCHIVE.ORG'S PDFS

Here’s the webpage for a very early edition of Huckleberry Finn. If you open the PDF using a modern PC or tablet, it will look fine though a little slow to load. If you open it on your Kindle, Nook Color, or some other older Ebook reader that displays PDFs, you’re in for a shock.

CREATING THE ULTIMATE CONTAINER PLAYGROUND: LXD ON KUBIC

Introduction

LXC (Linux Containers) are whole-system containers. They are meant to be able to do just about anything you can do with a VM with a percentage of the system resources and and a tiny startup time.

CREATING THE ULTIMATE CONTAINER PLAYGROUND: SALT IN LXD

Introduction: Installing Saltstack

The great thing about being able to spin up several new system containers running multiple Linux distros is that you get to experiment with software like Saltstack without the hassle of creating multiple VM’s. This can be especially daunting on a machine that is lacking resources.

I wrote this presentation on the weekends in April and May and it’s didn’t have quite the details that I wanted to put into it. Mostly I wanted it to be short and engaging. Putting in every detail that I wanted would have (I thought) been long and boring. I would like to take the time here to expand what went into the presentation and to make it a little more interesting.

ALTERNATIVE WALLPAPERS

Since my last post was so popular, here are a couple replacement WP’s that I made myself from schematics for a classic Heathkit HW101 transceiver.

WHY ARE THERE TOILETS ON MY OPENSUSE WALLPAPER?

First of all, the entire wallpaper is here:

On the right-hand side, there are these cool line-art cad drawing with Geeko in the middle. The problem is that these aren’t just just random lines nor are they circuits boards or anything like that. These are architectural blueprints. There are 5 full bathroom and a small piece of a 6th. There’s also a couple of conference rooms.

COMING TO OSC18...

I was incredibly excited to get this message earlier this week and now to finish my presentation.

CONTAINER CONFESSION

Hi, my name is Jason and I use containers in other containers and I’m unhappy that I can’t run even other containers inside of those.
