Georgia (the country) and Turkey mostly.

Qualifying for the FEIE (stay out of America for 330 days per year) means you don't pay taxes on the first $120k you earn. Maxing out the 401k ($22,500) will reduce taxable income as well so it's really like the first $142,500 is tax free.

I work for an American company as a W2 employee.

No. They look like normal shoe laces.

FWIW, once I got deep enough into it, the thought of going back to the old way seemed like a crazy idea. I don't want to manage servers like that again if it can be avoided. YMMV.

Talos. Make the jump.

It is.. For better or worse..

Not who you were responding to but, my company does this in AWS. To be fair, the entire platform is running in EKS so it's not much more difficult than updating the CI build pipelines to build multi-arch containers, adding additional nodepools, and scaling down the amd64 ones. This was tedious but not difficult to do. I keep a small set of amd64 nodes for off the shelf software that doesn't support arm.. I think the only thing left on those now is newrelic agents. Once we move off of them the x86_64 nodes can be killed entirely.

This ended up saving us tens of thousands of dollars per month. The next step is to move the bulk of workloads to spot instances. I'll be preferring arm but if there is only capacity for x86_64, I'll have that option because of the multi-arch containers. This is going to save even more money and force developers to build applications more tolerant of node failure in the process.

To be fair, it's not a lot for an American salary but you can live comfortably in large parts of the world on $2400 per month.

Yeah the place I saw them was really small actually. Thinking back on it, I don't know how they ever let them do a show there with that much fire. I was in the balcony but could have hit Till with my beer if I wanted.

Yeah but you have to write Javascript. :-D

I know this is ridiculous but, if I'm buying a phone to last at least 5-6 years, I'm going to wait for something with Qi2.. I want one of these but I'm thinking about what it's going to be like to live with long term.

With Prometheus I would add a section to the scrap config to rewrite the labels attached to each metric. Does such a thing exist for telegraf? I've never used it.

Or could you change the grafana query to just aggregate the values for all pods in that deployment?
