@k900:0upti.me do you think running a homelab with data center software like open stack would be "fun", not practical but "fun" 😠Fuck no | 15:03:46 |
| KFears (they/them) | I did Openstack as a job | 15:04:00 |
| KFears (they/them) | Basically there are like 5 services that work decently, everything else is best-effort. Dependencies between services are not always clear, there are a bunch of feature flags for everything, the whole thing is thousands of poorly written Python lines. The only real deployment mode is a bunch of shitty Ansible playbooks, they often need to be re-ran for reasons, communication between services is done with a central RabbitMQ, and the whole thing is basically a distributed monolith with no graceful failure at all. Many services don't work in default configuration, if they work at all. Each deployment is basically megabytes of poorly stitched custom configs, version cherry-picks, and patches to make it work at all | 15:13:46 |
| KFears (they/them) | It's like Kubernetes if Kubernetes was broken dysfunctional shit | 15:14:15 |
 hexa | it was yanked from nixpkgs years ago because it was unmaintainable garbage | 15:14:41 |
| hexa | but all that is … off-topic | 15:15:09 |
 K900 | Well the nice thing about it being unmaintainable is it's also unusable | 15:15:48 |
| K900 | So no one wants it anyway | 15:15:51 |
