1 year agoComputers are so fast these days you can have entire VMs in the background and not even notice them. Since Win10/11 come with HyperV and WSL you don’t need to buy any separate hardware to start playing with homelba/Linux stuff.
A modern multicore x64 with half that RAM would run any workload that cluster could do… faster (carved into a handful of containers or VMs if you needed isolation).
It’s a cool project, for fun! It would be a horrible way to do any useful work though. Just the thought of wiring it all up makes me shudder…
