To clarify on the terminology: You'd be adding a second node to a cluster.
As to what it gives you: Going from 1 node to 2 nodes gives you some extra compute power to run your workloads. It does hower not increase reliability of the cluster, for that you'd need a minimum of three nodes. At that point you'll have quorum, and will be able to take down any one node while still maintaining a quorum for cluster consistency. Quorum is half your nodes rounded up, so for 2 and 3 nodes the quorum is 2, for 4 and 5 nodes the quorum is 3, etc. In other words, a simple majority of nodes needs to be up for the cluster to be able to "vote". Then you'll be able to do fun things like load balancing, shared storage, etc.
As for how to add nodes to a cluster - here's the documentation.

For me what made a huge difference was adding acid, specially for stews. A hearty splash of vinegar or soy sauce while stewing, or even a dash of lime just before serving takes it from "meh" to "seconds please!".

Donwside to 2: Your VM becomes harder to move between hardware, you lose snapshotting capabilities from a copy-on-write image.
5 is flexible, but has limitations. For example you wouldn't want to run databases on NFS volumes.
If initialization time is the only problem with 4, you could create several smaller images on the disk. Create the first one, initialize the VM and set up an LVM volume on it, then start creating more volumes and extend the LVM volume.

I've had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I'd rather go out on my own terms.
Plus, any kind of money making scheme I'd think of is likely going to end up like the "aim for the bushes" scene in The Other Guys.

There's a long list of caveats when running VS Code over SSH. By comparison, text editors:
- Work on Alpine remotes
- Work on older distributions, and other *NIX systems
- Have no problems with SSH key passphrases or security keys
- Only require a few MB of memory
- When run in tmux are largely resilient to SSH connection issues

If you frequently work on remote systems you frequently only get command line access, where you can still use vim/nano/emacs but not a full IDE like VS Code. In that case you might find it more convenient to learn one text editor well and forgo the IDE.

As in contract law, the solution is to eliminate overarching or vague promises. Instead of promising to "balance the budget", have them produce a budget plan. Instead of promising elections reform, promise election reform pilot programs. And let's not kid ourselves, election promises made in good faith are a rarity these days. It's time to make it harder to lie to the electorate.

Punishing the breaking of election promises would be a start. Those are not ambiguous or unintentional, and it should be punishable as a breach of contract.

The trust issue is a constant concern in the tech world (SSL certificates, firewalls, authentication/authorization/accounting, blockchain, etc). The problem is that the approaches adopted don't make it into the public until it's late for two reasons:
- They tend to cost money
- They take effort
Every once in a while some service comes out that strikes a good balance and brings forth a paradigm shift. Letsencrypt did that for SSL, zero trust did it for internal systems communication, and so on. However there's always lag in adoption of security measures, and it only takes one malicious actor adopting new technology to blow a hole wide open in "tried and true" security and trust measures.

The alternative would be a non-standard diaper app that, rather than hiding the incoming call, would pick it up and drop it. I don’t know if such software exists.
I assume you meant dialer app 😆 . But anyway, for some Android phones you can use call screening.

Good article for discussion.
Health checks is one situation where kubernetes really shines. It makes a clear distinction between readiness probes (when the pod is ready to start serving traffic), liveness probes (when the pod should be considered dead), and startup probes (when the pod has finished bootstrapping). Coupled with autoscaling it then becomes acceptable to have a pod stop serving new traffic when it's too busy, because other pods can be created in a short time to take the extra load.
Including backend checks in your application depends on its nature. I think the mistake that the article's author made was not to include the checks, but to have too big of a blast radius when the check fails.

The rationale for using LTS distros is being eroded by widespread adoption of containers and approaches like flatpak and nix. Applications and services are becoming less dependent on any single distro and instead just require a skeleton core system that is easier to keep up to date. Coupled with the increased cost needed to maintain security backports we are getting to a point where it's less risky for companies to use bleeding edge over stable.
Monitoring and observability tools commit the cardinal sin of tricking people into thinking monitoring is an easy problem. It is very simple to monitor a small application or service. Almost none of those approaches scale.
In March 2023, Argo CD completed a refactor of the release process in order to provide a SLSA Level 3 provenance for container images and CLI binaries. The CNCF also commissioned a security audit of Argo CD which was conducted by ChainGuard. The audit found that Argo CD achieved SLSA Level 3 v0.1 across the source, build, and provenance sections. The Argo Project will next rollout attestations to Argo Rollouts, then follow with the remaining projects. SLSA has recently announced the SLSA Version 1.0 specifications, which Argo plans to embrace.
The KBOM project provides an initial specification in JSON and has been constructed for extensibilty across various cloud service providers (CSPs) as well as DIY Kubernetes.
This release brings two significant new features: a config-driven import workflow and check blocks. Config-driven import is a new declarative workflow to add existing resources into Terraform state and solves the limitations of the existing import command. Checks are a new way to perform functional validation of provisioned infrastructure to ensure the real world matches expectations.
