CPU requests were filling up on my setup. Got a used Ideapad with 4C/8T (i5-8265U) and an NVMe SSD to reinforce my Talos Kuberbetes cluster.

Upgraded it from 4GB soldered + 4GB stick RAM to 20GB RAM total. 16GB DDR4 sticks only cost €20 on the used market nowadays :)

RAM upgrade done, still need to add it to the cluster.

Then I’ll install a nice observability stack: VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, Grafana, and set up alerting finally. Afterwards, I’m thinking of adding Karakeep.
