Decided to upgrade one of my Proxmox nodes to a shiny kaby lake i7 because I'm unlikely to feel that I can justify buying 64gb-96gb of DDR5 any time, and 64g of DDR4 on a quad is enough to survive for a week if the bigger Ultra 5 265k goes pop...
Love how easy it is to shut down a node in my 2 […]

It's funny how you expect trouble with some things because that's just what you're used to.
Today I needed to connect to a box via console. I normally do that from my work windows machine, and it's an arseache of drivers which aren't signed, oh that model only supports windows 7 and soforth […]

So, ordered a Home Assistant ZWA-2 and ZBT-2 controller to replace a Aeotec Z-StickGen5+ and ZBT-1 Respectively.
ZBT-2:

Well, it took about 3 weeks to notice that a Debian Bookworm update broke IPv4 outbound from my DMZ. IPv6 is getting there I guess!
(net.ipv4.ip_forward seemed to revert to 0 on my reverse proxy VM)
