I'm being bullied by my cat. She wants tickles, and I need to work.

I forgot my power brick in the office yesterday and power distribution is keeping me in the game today. This cheapo dongle is keeping Mac charged.

Going through my #YNAB end of month routine and for once all the over budgets belong to my wife instead of me.

Tal Paw 🍉 @gravyflex.ca · 19d

I’m very tempted to give actual budget a try. Free beats #YNAB price $$$$. If it was just me I would dive head first into this but my wife is now proficient at YNAB and might not like another learning curve.

I have been using ai to write custom #Checkmk checks. I got some pretty decent home assistant checks that leverage the #homeassistant api.

Tal Paw 🍉 @gravyflex.ca · 21d

It’s nice to see Checkmk getting love. The raw edition is the only monitoring tool you need for your #homelab

Checking out your Checkmk video. I’m a long time Checkmk user and I got a few things out of your video. You set a high bar for tech videos.

I had not posted in so long that I had to jump through too many hoops to get this post up. Docker hub auth must die... I had a good time with #swarm ingress. #homelab shane.greaves.casa/posts/frr-sw...

Swarm Ingress with frr

I’m running a 3 node Docker Swarm cluster running one manager and two workers. I’ve been in the process of gradually migrating my services over to the cluster. I am at the point now where I want to se...

I’ve finally gotten my Midea dehumidifier integrated into #homeassistant. Time to automate all the things.

Tal Paw 🍉 @gravyflex.ca · 26d

I love @gitea.com in my homelab. using the web ui to make my ansible changes is now my favourite workflow.

I’ve already setup a checkmk agent docker container on truenas scale for some proper nas monitoring. Had Claude make me some #homeassistant and #zwavejs local checks. #ridingthataitrain

Started off the weekend with some ai generated Checkmk checks for docker swarm. I am pleased.

Tal Paw 🍉 @gravyflex.ca · Sep 14

I’m having such a wonderful time this weekend trying to move my #Checkmk instance which runs in a VM to docker swarm. Checkmk would not run with NFS as persistent storage.

One of my wifi cameras would randomly drop out. Always attributed it to 💩wifi signal. Turns out it was the microwave. Created a 5ghz only ssid and we’ll see if this resolves the issues.

Showed the wife how to access the recordings, snapshot and clips in the #homeassitant media folder and She loves it.

Frigate is definitely scratching my itch. Added VM to the new proxmox host with iGPU, coral tpu and 1TB hard drive passthru. The #homeassistant blueprint is so dope. Stopped the deepstack container that chewing cpu 🥳.

I’m writing all the frigate VM configs to an ansible playbook. I need a process to back up frigate config.yaml. I might stick it in a gitea repo and commit each time the config changes.
