I came here hoping against hope, and here it is in all its glory

Interesting, I've been running it for 6 months just in oci-containers, but it's great to have more options. My only 'worry' would be IIRC that the team are still nailing down final platforms for database/etc, there may be migrations left to go before stable

Huh suddenly I actually have a interest in PAX AUS this year beyond board games!

We are really enjoying TMNT 1987 with our little one!/

My doctor/specalist suggest I will likely not have it 'come back' if i keep weight off and stay healthy, but no 100% guarentee. This is more to do with catching it early and actually making lifestyle changes to deal with it - talking to healthcare professionasl about it most people dont really bother. They very specifically use the term 'remission' when discussing it to drill home that you can't go back to bad habits and expect to be fine long-term.

Type 2 Diabetes is usually a trajectory you end up on that progressively gets treated with levels of medication, but heavily depends on where you catch it, what action you take and your personal body makeup/individual circumstances.

I now do 30-45 strength training at home 3 times a week, and 2 short 15m sessions of HIIT. I spread it throughout the day as an addition to my lifestyle (between meetings, when showering the kiddo, etc) with a tiny investment in equipment and no real impact on leisure time.

It's part of a change to deal with a very unexpected type 2 diabetes diagnosis and it's had an outsized impact on my health for the effort.

Coupled with weight loss - Blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rate and blood sugar have all dropped significantly within 3 months. Would recommend, exercise for health doesn't mean grueling classes, stupid long workouts, or 20 hours of cardio a week. Downside, an utterly ridiculous amount of misinformation online.

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.

Most definietly, I have my entire homelab setup in nix as well as laptop/desktop. Is a hell of a lot easier and more reliable than the Kubernetes setup it replaced....

I can read and write using the Standard Galactic Alphabet from the Commander Keen series

Over 1000h hrs here, mostly with a mate Friday nights with modded worlds. We are ready for this

This is an excellent choice

My current distro is NixOS - mainly as I've built my NAS/homelab. Definitely not recommended for a new player to Linux!
