@blenderfox @homelab I need to poke at them both a bit more before deciding. I only started using k8s in my homelab relatively recently when I finally took at look at #TalosLinux.
#Talos made all the annoyance of having to maintain the VM k8s is running on go away, and it's forced me to have better habits at home about checking everything into git since I can't just ssh into the VM for maintenance.

@unixorn @blenderfox @homelab My biggest challenge with k8s in a homelab is dealing with flaky hardware. I've had ram go "bad" twice and it corrupted the disk for the control nodes and I lost the "state" of the cluster. I know you can back up k8s configuration, but backups are just so hard and I wish it were really easy 😆 Does Talos make this easier?
