Alex<p>Since I got a computer with my new job a few months back, I now have a spare Thinkpad with 32GB RAM and an i7 4.7 GHz CPU.</p><p>What should I do with it? Leaning proxmox at the moment as I feel 32 GB of RAM should be enough for a small k8s lab with 2-4 nodes. Plus I can pretty much do all the other things on Proxmox too.</p><p>One that didn't fit the list is Alpine, feel it's an interesting distro but not sure how viable as a daily driver due to compatibility issues.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeLab</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/SelfHost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHost</span></a></p>
Jason Weatherly<p>Okay, finally got CTFreak back up and running so that I don't have to deploy my website manually anymore.
