I have like 30 old hard drives laying around and have been thinking about doing a cool art installation with them for a while.
Maybe shatter the platters to create a spiky landscape and epoxy them in, or something like that.
Any ideas?

Definitely go with K3s instead of K8s if you want to go the Kubernetes route. K8s is a massive pain in the ass to setup. Unless you want to learn about it for work I would avoid it for homelab usage.
I currently run Docker Swarm nodes on top of LXCs in Proxmox. Pretty happy with the setup except that I can't get IPv6 to work in Docker overlay networks and the overlay network performance leaves things to be desired.
I previously used Rancher to run Kubernetes but I didn't like the complexity it adds for pretty much no benefit. I'm currently looking into switching to K3s to finally get my IPv6 stack working. I'm so used to docker-compose files that it's hard to get used to the way Kubernetes does things though.
I use an 6900 XT and run llama.cpp and ComfyUI inside of Docker containers. I don't think the RX590 is officially supported by ROCm, there's an environment variable you can set to enable support for unsupported GPUs but I'm not sure how well it works.
AMD provides the handy rocm/dev-ubuntu-22.04:5.7-complete image which is absolutely massive in size but comes with everything needed to run ROCm without dependency hell on the host. I just build a llama.cpp and ComfyUI container on top of that and run it.
It does not.
ROCm runs directly through the open source amdgpu kernel module, I use it every week.
AMD's ROCm stack is fully open source (except GPU firmware blobs). Not as good as Nvidia yet but decent.
Mesa also has its own OpenCL stack but I didn't try it yet.
I even run native games through Proton at this point since many native builds don't work properly.
My comment was mostly meant as a joke. I'm aware most of them use their networking capabilities for IPC and being able to use them remotely is just a cool feature resulting from that (except X11).
Or maybe a server OS with desktop features stapled on the front?
That is a very accurate description of Linux considering even X11 and Wayland are display servers. Pipewire and Pulseaudio are also servers.
HDR support is the feature I'm mostly looking forward to.
Do you have more details on your setup?
I currently selfhost mailcow on a small VPS but I would like to move the receiving part to my homelab and only use a small VPS or service like SES for sending.
Can't say I ever had that problem, sorry. My Logitech PRO X scrolls normally over wireless and wired.
Thanks for the artist view on things. :)
I mostly want something pretty to look at but adding a message to it is an excellent idea.
