Ahoy @olivia.science and @irisvanrooij.bsky.social - I'm researching local alternatives to 'cloud' based ML and 'AI' systems (e.g. Azure, AWS, GCP etc.) - for example, Mac Mini clusters. Has Radboud published anything about the infrastructure the Uni uses for computational modelling etc?

For sure my fault tolerant local NAS and network services are NOT the cloud. Mine don't go down for a day like AWS and Azure do.

Stop treating your NAS like a cloud service (because it's not)
A NAS isn’t your cloud — it’s just pretending to be one, and you shouldn’t fall for it

3-1 at FNM into 7th place at the NRG pauper 1k. Happy to break delver back out for some big tournaments but will be shaking things up soon.
Azure Fleet Admiral was awesome in the side. Local store had 6/8 in top 8 and my two teammates split finals, was a great day.

I actually have a working MVP of my app locally!
Tomorrow I'll attempt to refactor it to run on Azure, including moving local storage server-side for persistence.
Remember, none of this is me knowing how to code: I'm using VS Code, GitHub Copilot and a whole lot of learning as we troubleshoot.

I wrote a short post on using Testcontainers in .NET:

If you’re doing tests and still relying on mocks or manual setup, this is worth a look. It lets you spin up SQL Server, Azure Storage, CosmosDb, etc. in containers during your test runs or during local dev.
