I’ve been kicking around the idea of running a server for games and chat woth some of my friends, but worry about everyone getting cut off when there’s a disruption.

I’ve started looking into kubernetes out of curiosity, and it seems like we could potentially set up a cluster with master nodes at 3+ locations to hose whatever game server or chat server that we want with 100% uptime, solving my concerns.

Am I misunderstanding the kubernetes documentation, and this is just a terrible idea? Or am I on the right track?

    You wrote a post with a title that their comment helps with,

    Post titles just aren’t great at detailing the real issue when you need to provide context. It’s frustrating whem someone doesn’t actually read the body of the post, because then the comments can be filled up with people answering the wrong question. Then someone that can actually answer the question might skip the post because there’s already a bunch of comments under it.

    If you’re going to help, it’s better to actually read through the provided context. Otherwise it’s more likely to just end up being self-gratification.

    It’s kinda like the people who give up right-of-way at stop signs. Sure, it makes that person feel better about themselves, but the confusion just leads to everyone at the stop taking longer to get through the intersection.

      Fair points, it is unfortunate that decentralized can mean self hosting your own alternative service or hosting a service in a distributed fashion.

      The situation still could’ve been resolved without insulting someone who wanted to be helpful, but was maybe not careful.
      Or implying that their behavior reflects poorly on the entire blahaj community. That community don’t mean any harm.
