• How to deploy Linux to 15 machines, without manually installing every single one with a USB stick?

  Another tool, maybe even more 'dedicated' for Ubuntu, would be Canonical MAAS, but I never used it personally. Source: 6 months ago

• On perm automated repair?

• How many of you are running kubernetes on prem?

  Instead look at bare metal K8s solutions. I wouldn't roll your own, look at Palette (https://www.spectrocloud.com/product) which has Canonical MAAS integration for bare metal K8s. Source: 11 months ago

• Stuck in a loop choosing homelab upgrade

• Need to move site from bluehost to a quicker wordpress hosting platform with an easy to use UI - what should I pick?

  The sidebar has plenty of hosts for you to choose from. Additionally, I personally use A2 hosting (https://a2hosting.com) for my hosting needs. They've been a pleasure to work with over the last few years. Source: about 2 years ago

• Every web hosting I try is either jank or too advanced.

  a2hosting is fast, but pretty expensive. Source: over 2 years ago
