This is part of my current setup. I need to get a NAS and I want to run a few more PIs down at my garage

First picture is from my rack in basement. Second is in my office in the attic and third is my garage

Got two thin client pcs both running proxmox and various services

Then one Pi in garage

Need to get better at documenting my projects just been making this box and forgot to take loads of in progress pictures. Kind of looks like a mini coffin but it’s actually to store tools in. Made out of 18mm plywood

More progress made this morning on stria.io querying sync statuses from the database and presenting it on the dashboard!

The fact the users icon isn't the same size as the go to top icon really bugs me. Does this bother anyone else? Can we please make these the same size? /cc @bsky.app

Building is currently on pause as I need to build this wardrobe. Good job got a decent session in last night. Last night was working on cron based syncing as I want to lock realtime processing down as a possible feature/paid upgrade #buildinpublic

Neat trick with empty structs is type-safe enums with zero overhead

Empty struct method can be used for interface verification

I've used Go's empty struct technique before for shutdown signalling in services

But I came across a few other use cases 🧵

Really impressed with @tailscale.com MagicDNS and it's ability to provision a SSL cert for a internal domain. This is all built into a Go binary

I probably didn't actually need to obfuscate anything cause in theory it's all secure and private to my own tailnet

First step completed!

Connect to SSH server and run a command with Golang

My next steps now are I need to be able to upload files to the server and run commands
