Per Talos’ request, certain names have been changed to protect their anonymity.  Plus, who are we to argue with a seven-foot giant?  What follows is …

So... Talos linux for #Kubernetes is great and all, but the NetApp Trident CSI node operator performs callouts to things like mkdir, mount, umount, mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 and the ilk.

This is a problem on #Talos, as those binaries don't exist. So I wrote a Dockerfile to take the distributed #Trident image and copy in the missing binaries and /etc files from Debian. This means I have to override the Trident image in the helm chart, but also I can mount NetApp NFS shares now.

@dexter well this is nice to see again, home sweet home in the Talos II bootloader - with a FreeBSD ISO installer ...

Right: standard term via SSH to BMC and "obmc-console-client"

14.2 is installing now, no surprises. tomorrow, more fun!

i wonder if i could get talos to run on qubes

I need some help from the #selfhosting and #homelab community, I have reached full analysis paralysis!

I have 3 weeks left to determine what hardware to buy for my #selfhosted #homeprod my goal is to run #nextcloud & #immich in production well enough that It can seamlessly support my wife to #degoogle

I was leaning towards #talos cluster or #k3s for #kubernetes and #longhorn storage, but might all be overkill

Have determined I have these options are similar price & energy budget points:

In essence, figuring out spaceflight is one very complex puzzle and nobody can show you the solution beforehand. Maybe that's why I have always loved "The Talos Principle". Now that the remaster is out, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about it and how it relates to KSP

More fun! #ClickHouse, #Kubernetes, and #RaspberryPi clusters for dev environments and testing: https://dub.sh/VN21JTp (blog post and recorded livestream).

I wanted to use #nixos or #talos for a declarative OS-layer but Pi5 support is not strong yet. Raspbian with the Raspberry Pi Imager wasn't too bad though.

Lotus Blossom espionage group targets multiple industries with different versions of Sagerunex and hacking tools

Cisco Talos uncovered multiple cyber espionage campaigns attributed to the Lotus Blossom group, targeting government, manufacturing, telecommunications, and media sectors. The operations utilize various versions of the Sagerunex backdoor and other hacking tools. Lotus Blossom has been active since 2012 and continues to evolve its tactics. New Sagerunex variants use third-party cloud services like Dropbox, Twitter, and Zimbra for command and control, enhancing evasion capabilities. The group employs a multi-stage attack chain for long-term persistence, often remaining undetected for months. Victims include organizations in the Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The analysis reveals Lotus Blossom's sophisticated techniques, including the use of VMProtect for code obfuscation and strategic placement of tools in public folders for evasion.

I just added a #TalosLinux 1.9.3 (#Talos) #Vagrant box to the #ARM64 collection. This allows you to run Talos on your #AppleSilicon #MacBook. This is control-plane only, but you can patch the manifest to also run workloads.

You can find it right here:

Want to play with Kubernetes? Gyptazy shows a fun way to do it.

Excerpt:

Talos Linux is an operating system built specifically for Kubernetes, focusing on security, immutability, and minimalism, designed to work across a variety of environments, including cloud platforms, bare metal servers, and virtualization platforms, providing a versatile solution for modern infrastructure needs.

Creating a #Kubernetes cluster in less than 10 minutes? What do use in 2025?

Let’s see and create a three node cluster in just minutes!

Yay! My #talos #libvirt #terraform module is working! Now to add cilium support.

Interesting. #Talos #Linux (#kubernetes distribution) has support for creating a #wireguard #mesh they call #KubeSpan https://www.talos.dev/v1.9/talos-guides/network/kubespan/ though you either need to use their discovery servers, or pay them for licence to host your own... But https://github.com/siderolabs/discovery-service/ says that non-production use is allowed, and I believe #HomeLab #SelfHosting setup doesn't count as production ;)
Which also may allow to split where control and worker nodes are, to take advantage of free tiers for running them.

I am close to giving up on my Fiji s720 k8s cluster. Whenever I try to do something storage related (rook-ceph, openebs, longhorn) nodes just go 100% CPU and fail to schedule pods.
I can keep it as pure control-plane, yet it's 45w for those 3 nodes.

TLDR: looking for advice on storage solutions or additional budget worker nodes or any other ideas. Just don't tell me to stop using k8s
