Haha yeah could have worded better. I was running a 3 node k8s cluster on Talos Linux as my homelab. Downsized/simplified to a single NAS (aka NixNAS) + NUC on nixos and split the services between them. Apps that heavily use the NAS live on it for direct file access, the rest hum along on the nuc. I sleep easier with this, rather than fighting nose breakage during upgrades or wondering when my next ceph failure will occur.
Thanks for the reminder, I wanted to give them a go this season and wasn’t quite sure when to jump in. I planted Jalapenos last summer that have actually survived winter somewhat, but had almost zero heat. Planning to get something a bit hotter this season
