Funnily enough, the one you’d expect this from, the bank, I used to work for, it’s all Go and running on k8s in aws.

100%, sounds interesting! I’m going to spend some time tomorrow looking at a bug in the jellyfin android TV app related to DTS audio over HDMI.

Definitely true, I dread to think about how much tech debt these companies have. 😬

Unfortunately my bank, government, national health, surgery, local shops, food delivery services, etc. don’t open source their code. It’d be nice if they did however.

As a software engineer, annoying bugs that should be so simple to fix are so frustrating! I wish I could just have a crack and fixing it myself!

Nice, I went for Unifi for WiFi. I have two APs, and the controller runs on my Pi k8s cluster. They’re pretty great for gigabit speeds.

I ended up buying a “mini-PC” as my router. It’s quite a bit over your budget, and you’d need an AP of some kind for WiFi. I run proxmox on it, and pipe the NICs through to my OpenWRT VM. The performance is great, and given it has 2.5gbps NICs, it’s somewhat future proof. UK Amazon link to the one I bought: https://amzn.eu/d/1pqfQEk
