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?

    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.
