Dragonchat has welcomed 7 new users in the last week. Where'd y'all come from?? Also, welcome!

2am. Managed to duct-tape things back together enough to where I can revisit in the morning. Ugh, why does Proxmox make things so convoluted.
Also IDSDMs are the worst.

Me: “Wow I’m free tonight, let’s play some games.”
Homelab server: “What if I eat my install disk instead?”

Had to kick the tires on Dragonchat, something got stuck. Should be back up now, apologies!

Dragonchat is officially on Mastodon 4.4.3, AND is on a brand-new vm! This means we can finally close the book on the "oops no more storage" problem from last year, hooray! And now we shouldn't have any more major downtime for a while ^.=.^

There […]

Rawr, dragons and dragon lovers!
As you may be aware, Mastodon 4.4 has been out for a bit! I've been doing some prep work behind the scenes, since this is a more major bump, but we're getting close to upgrade time!

DERG HAS FIBER INTERNET IT'S SO FAST :dragnhappy:

Hardest part was cancelling the old service. Had to spend 15 minutes convincing Comcast/Xfinity that yes, I do want to cancel. No, I don't need a "special deal" you just found. Just cancel. No, I already got the other service. No, I don't want […]

Me: *Orders 4 of an item from Amazon*
Amazon: *Sends 3*
Me: Hey, I'm missing 1 item.
Amazon AI bot: Let's fix this! You can either have a full refund or 4 more.

I'm now the main point of contact for redis at my job.
I know approximately one (1) thing about redis. Who put me in charge??

Devops question time! I'm (once again) attempting to learn how kubernetes works. I've got a 3-node environment set up on my homelab (1 control plane, 2 workers).

To my understanding, if I wanted to connect to an nginx pod, I would need a ContainerPort, a NodePort service to point at that […]

Curse whoever designed the Surface Book. Not only having to replace the ssd and battery, but now a display ribbon cable that couldn’t handle being unbent.
Haven’t been able to join discord calls or streams for two weeks :(

I think the ssd in my laptop is a little worn out...
