I'm an avid Linux user, and have been for nearly 20 years, I can't stand the latest tech buzz words (you know the ones), love security research, and open to new ideas.
I'm fairly social, so don't be scared to say hi!

@uvok@woof.tech The only universal truth in response to that is "Don't use AI". Otherwise I find it's like any other skill. Practice. Do useless projects, do things because you can, not because you should. One of the best learning experiences for me was "It'd be funny if a keyboard firmware ran on Python", and a friend and I did it. Most of all, have fun!
Well lookie there, a blog post of what I've been up to in the homelab. When I'm quiet, something's usually coming.

About to build a pen plotter... 3d printers are more reliable than 2d these days I swear. No DRM on the ink on plotters as well. Half rant, half actually want to build it.

@Purple@woof.tech if you happen to have a Linux server laying around or aren't scared of a little docker, Pinchflat makes a great archival tool for YT. Sorry to hear about the corruption, and I've been there, which is half of why I run that service
Sometimes I wish I even knew where to start with art so I could create an OC. Then I realize that I have no clue where I'd start on making an OC. Then I give up on it all. A few months later I start the cycle again. One day... I'll break the cycle. Today I nap.
Nearly ready to open source my entire self hosted stack so people can not only see what I run, but how I do so. Only a few last secrets to get out of files before I can do so. It's been years coming, so glad I'm finally getting around to it, even if it's when I have a fairly complex homelab setup.
No matter how hard I've tried to change my playlist, Sleep Token keeps taking it back over. I'm not that mad even.
Updated my stack over the years, honestly mostly the last month or two mostly. Documented the changes in a blog post as I know people have been asking about how I did things. Warning, it's a long one!
Once I upload the source code of my blog to my git server, it now fully builds in CI, uploads to it's registry, and then sends a webhook to part of my gitops pipline to redeploy the swarm of containers that my VPS serves said blog from. My lab has become far too complex compared to the early days. Ironically, I now need to update a blog post about how the blog is delivered .w.
Finally got around to making an org for my homelab to keep it easy for others to see what all is open source!
RE: @moehrenfeld@social.karotte.org
Another day I can point to on why I host my own stuff. Thanks forgejo, and Codeberg for keeping it free of Gitea. Forks are great.
Managed to burn myself enough that my skin is peeling in several places. Whoops.
@klardotsh@merveilles.town before I forget to ask, pride is Saturday. Any chance you want to chill for it? This is the relatively calm event.
I may have been distracted last week, but not this time! #caturday #catsofmastodon

@rmbolger@mastodon.social You caught me right after I got my test domain all up and running. I gave it a glance and think it's good to have in my pocket, but a bit overkill in my lab. Thanks for the suggestion though!

@bunient@misskey.kittie.gay didi over mention that I wrote an initial system in python, just as a learning experience?

@maruno@woof.tech I've been looking into one, but was curious to know if you can deal with of a difference after? I only have a modist setup at home.

@asmcbain@woof.tech I like it because they never drop my package at my door, and say they can't get in my building, so they give up delivering. I just stalk the door and notifications, or have them hold for pickup. It's a problem with all carriers here to be fair.

@asmcbain@woof.tech It's been a standard for far too long. I'm loving 2.5g starting to emerge, and I've been running 10g enterprise cards in desktops/servers for years because of that.

@asmcbain@woof.tech router isn't super important IMHO. I run SFP+ and base-T 2.5g switches, bt I also have a small homelab.

@konstruct@woof.tech I ran a Mac server on Epyc hardware before just to avoid Windows. As much of a nightmare as it was, I'd do it again. That said, most of my machines are some flavour of Linux.

@mebbie@woof.tech have you tried Moshidon? I've not used the official app as this has done me very well, personally!
