I bought a 4TB SSD on Black Friday for my #Thinkpad X13 Gen 2. I dunno what even to use it for 🤷

Guess I’ll move in 🤣

I’m almost exclusively using Silicon Power SSDs now in my #Homelab. Great price/performance.

What’s this I hear about Snapdragon X and Windows? Man I’ve been lusting over the new M4 after how powerful Apple silicon is for AI, but a laptop that can run Linux and Windows with NPU/ARM?

Pretty please?

Why is binding Ubuntu to an #Authentik LDAP so infuriating? I can ldapsearch but PAM isn’t querying the enabled LDAP module.

New disks for my #TrueNAS storage and my EMC KTN-STL3 DAS. 3x 14TB HGST HC530 (WUH721414ALE604) for a new pool.

I wish I watched @technotim.bsky.social ‘s video on ZFS and TrueNAS scale performance before my first pools.

This thread is me sharing the process.

Finally getting around to getting a little semblance of home with my bedroom headphone stack. Sometimes you have to make concessions when you exit bachelor life 🤣 #audiophile

So you might say I’ve been extensively testing the #Remarkable2.

I finally have Acme Traefik working well and Authentik going. Been struggling to make sense of it in my off time.

I swear TLS certs are the bane of my existence.

What kind of dork am I to nerd out about a new LTS release after a week of struggle…

I’m so proud of my comrades. We won. It took blood, sweat, and tears. There are those moments in one’s career when they are tried and pushed beyond their limits. My junior engineers learned to fly.

Today, I see them as peers+. Camaraderie built on the battlefield.

What’s that they say about plans?

Probably saner on paper than my YOLO approach. I opted to work on something that will save hours migrating agents.

I solve practical problems.

I’m in limbo for a smidge more, so let me talk about more about my #Homelab and career. I’ll thread it as replies to this post. It’ll take days to outlay fully.

Starting off, I started my IT career 17 years ago this May. I started in desktop support, worked up to system engineering then #infosec

After Spring semester closes, grades are done, and the big migration is settled for a week… I really need to move my #battlestation to my partner/I’s new apartment. Moving is slow with how busy I am.

It was a custom job by my dad a decade ago, and I cherish it despite being hard to fit places.

Trying to get my ADHD super power activated as I begin day 3 of migrating a massive #Elastic Cloud Enterprise deployment between cloud providers. Not sure if I mentioned this is my first time.

I think the biggest hurdle is timing moving our agents. It’s going to be a long day…

#EnterpriseIT

This weekend I’m moving our Elastic Cloud Enterprise between platforms. Im having to pull a lot of golden eggs out of my brain farts.

Snapshot restore nearly stopped us dead, and somehow I find the solution a Stack Overflow post.

I was spoiled as our Splunk architect and chief engineer.

@technotim.bsky.social love your channel man. Really happy with the Sysrack your videos introduced me to!

I do need to take the next step and work on more soundproofing but it does well enough in spare bedroom/office.

You know, I’ve been having an extreme need for Twitter. You’re telling me I can host my own and still have people to talk with.

Why not make my genesis post #Homelab porn?
