So, basically ham radio but with more Kubernetes.

I was curious and looked up the origins of 'ham'. Apparently it originates from "ham-fisted" describing second-rate morse-code skills of telegraphists before radio was a thing

Interesting. I've originally heard it loosely attributed as a kind of homophone aberration where 'ham' comes from 'hamature'. But maybe it's vice-versa, or that's a corporate line from the organization ARRL Amateur Radio Relay League.

As a self-hoster thats also a ham…

Fucking ow.
