Bending Spoons is where products go to die.

What is your hypervisor technology? How do you ensure isolation between tenants?
PS: I see that your VMs are created in CoreWeave datacenters. I wonder the relationship between your company and CoreWeave. Are you just a reseller?

A slight correction: FDP is the fourth largest power in Bundestag with slightly more than 10% votes it got in the last federal elections, and what is happening here is not called taking the goverment hostage but a governing party excercising its influence using the instruments given by the parliamentary democracy.

I feel your friend little bit exaggerated the situation or simply had bad luck.
The staff of the doctor you usually go knows you and don‘t ask your statuary health insurance card upon each visit. They have it in your file.
Worst case you present a paper you download from your insurance provider‘s website.
As a last resort, you declare you are privately insured and you walk out. They send the invoice to home and you send it to your insurer or pay from your pocket. A simple GP visit does not cost more than 40-50 Euros.
People are helpful. Maybe the staff of their doctor was not that day.

Here in Germany, "Mandibular advancement splint"[1] is a popular device recommended by doctors for less severe apnea cases. I was diagnosed with a light apnea and now I am getting this device as my test results showed that a CPAP treatment would be overkill but this could help. I am afraid I can't share more experiences as I am waiting the device to be prepared after 2 hours of dentist visit where they took some measurements.

The ARM nodes which are exactly the topic of this submission could be a place where you can self-host your GH runners :)
https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-... works quite well with its autoscaling. You could create a zonal GKE cluster, which is in free tier, and create a small spot vm node pool with ARM nodes. It wouldn't be entirely free but it would cost quite low amount of money.

You can already self-host GH Runners on ARM.

> I can’t think of any of the big tech companies that even use VMware.
You are quite wrong…

I have 3-node vSphere cluster with 36 cores, 300 GB of RAM, bunch of different disk options (magnetic, SSD, NVMe)
It is all powered by Ubiquiti networking gear.
VMware VUG is providing free and legal VMware licenses. I get to run VSAN, on top of it I deploy Kubernetes and I can decide if my pod wants to use poor performance VSAN disks (like EBS on AWS) or faster local NVMe‘s.
These are just couple of things I can make at home. Everything started as an experiment and it started to look like a replica of what we can have in a datacenter, but without a SLA.
First of all, all these stuff is extremely fun for me. Secondly, I won‘t go into details but as a cloud consultant, this thing I started as a hobby became one of the big boosters of my career. I never expected such an effect but I am extremely impressed by this.

The <!—- —> wrapping the inline CSS made me chuckle. The first CSS hack in the history.

I am happy to hear that I was not the only nerd interested in enterprise software during middle school years. You know, while my friends were waiting the latest games, I would wait for the next Service Pack of Windows 2000. Constant exploration of AD, firewalls, networking, purely for curiosity and fun.
Now those friends ask me how to get an IT job by the way :)
