What it does
Kubernetes seems to be an overkill and too complex when all you have is few pods scattered across 3 virtual machines. Basically we need to make it sure there is a ssh passwordless connection from control plane to any of VMs. Also the ssh account has to have root privileges to allow further provisioning: $ ssh VM1 sudo echo # should succeed Install Sparky Any Linux box should be just fine, recommended system resources - 6 GB RAM ( maybe less ). Sparky is written on Raku, so we need to install Raku first curl https://rakubrew.org/install-on-perl.sh | sh eval " $( ~/.rakubrew/bin/rakubrew init Bash ) " echo ' eval "$(~/.rakubrew/bin/rakubrew init Bash)" ' >> ~ /.bashrc rakubrew add…from github.com

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
