Ok yeah there it is

So the main Homelab repo is the "kubernetes" repo, which is a monorepo for the entire cluster. Arguably it is for the whole Homelab except cloud and some network services are in their own repos.
The question is how to manage ansible?

There is a subdir for:
* The Talos […]

I got the mutual TLS working with rsyslog ​:neocat_floof:​

Except now 3/5 of the endpoints have various DNS issues causing problems with ACME, oops ​:neocat_flop:​

One of those is the DNS server itself lmao #homelab

It works! ​:meowbongo:​

Ok so this helm chart is a total mess for the use case that I have, but, I got it working!

I can issue certs in-cluster via cert-manager, and hosts outside of the cluster can use certbot to obtain a locally signed cert via ACME!

Next up:
* Get traefik to trust the root […]

[mh, med question, asking for personal experience]

Has anyone here tried Adderall or the XR version for ADHD and feel like it didn't do much? Did something else make a difference instead?

Friends, comrades, pals,

If I find that you have posted a recipe on a website in US measurements, and then to be helpful and convert it to metric _and don't actually verify that the conversation is actually correct_ and I find out, I will stab you ​:neocat_knives:​

Just leave off the […]

I need to change the "disable password confirmation on settings change" on nextcloud for my dad's account since it is using OIDC and there is no local password

Only ....

It needs the password to change that setting ​:neocat_flop:​

I'm at the parents for less than 20min

Most important task: troubleshoot a printer, again

This same fucking printer

Every year

Huh, I wonder what the lowest power draw system I can build that uses this surplus of registered ECC ddr4 memory? ​:thinkpad:​

Ok current thinking for certs:

* Create root cert, keep key offline
* Create intermediate via cert-manager
* Configure step-ca to use that intermediate
* Also create a cert-manager issurer that uses that intermediate

In-cluster certs can be easily provisioned and a trust-manager deployment can […]

I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep

But

To do so, I'd have to get up, and do a few things before getting into bed and executiv disfunction says idk maybe not? Why am I like this aaaaaaaa ​:blobcat_notlikethis:​

We have reached the "ok fine maybe I should setup an internal CA" stage of the Homelab rebuild

Maybe Vault?

Just fixed my total disaster of dnat rules (what the heck did I do and why did nothing break?), and fixed ipv6 wireguard outbound (also just had mismatched addresses how in the heck?)

After dinner it is time to fix Crowdsec and also look at the angry red in the error logs for those Linux hosts

I have a craving for hot peppers

Not like any particular dish, I just want to eat some hot pepper directly or something, I have no idea why I am like this
December 2, 2025 at 8:53 PM
So close on getting the unified Crowdsec working

I just need to figure out why the central parser isn't acting on ssh logs, but I think I figured out some of the syntax that I need to do that, then I need to make the remote units listen to the central lapi server (local API) and it should be […]

Fops update: one fops spotted, shadowy in the distance, but the glint of the eye and floofy tail was distinguishable.

Hmmm, do IR flood lights/spotlights exist? ​:neocat_thinking:​
