I build things and then nerd out over infrastructure minutia only I care about!

Proxmox would make my year if they added a run-cmd field to the cloud-init interface. I just want a userAgent script primitive on-prem, it's so close.

I had a reason to play with an SSH bounce box in Spain along with Spot Instances.

The part I don't mention is that you can do this to get a socks5 proxy on localhost (once you setup DNS to forward correctly).

This was an excellent watch, I picked it up as a CISSP Class B CPE. I'm not always the greatest at expressing myself.

TLDR no one cares what's in your head if you can't express why it should have value to them.

I'm not dead. Working on some non-tech projects and had a health *thing*

I've got some proxmox terraform stuff in the cooker and an integration I want to rework using cloudflare workers.

Still enjoying being married!

Oh... you can do this...

curl --upload-file /path/to/file.ext -u 'DOMAIN\Username' smb://172.16.17.52/ShareName/

Curl be wild'n sometimes.

...it's going to be amusing if I end up writing about my adventure installing Ubuntu 22.04 on my Android just to make it run Doom. Also learning some interesting Android stuff.

Graylog <= syslog/k3s/cloudwatch logs once I finish writing it up.

I'm enjoying writing about my interview questions. Softball writeup, but I *was* a little busy getting married.

Sorry, normally I'd have content out this week but I was a little occupied with getting married. In a snowstorm even.

I'm annoyed that I didn't think of this as it's a good bit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAZQ...

If you're trying to upgrade to Windows 11 24h2 and you keep getting an error saying that your PC has a driver or service preventing the upgrade. It is EasyAntiCheat 99% of the time! Would be nice if Setup just told me that instead making me slog through XML files. 🤦‍♂️ #TechTip

I don't remember why I have a folder that is just Emerald Tree Boas but it does not require any justification to live on my laptop forever.

TIL that LinkedIn horribly mangles URLs above 32 characters. And will continue to do so even if you edit the url to be shorter. That's not deflating at all.

Anyway, I wrote up some NAT Instance over NAT Gateway stuff I needed documented to my spec.

What are the most exciting/useful dev things you’ve discovered in 2024?

Could be devtools, libraries, new language features, educational resources, whatever 😄

Using toml over yaml, json or even a boring list of var = values is starting become an indicator of "your software is high maintenance"

In case you were wondering, installing kubernetes using the official documentation in 2024 is still atrocious. Use k3s and save yourself hours of annoyance.

The only reason I'm even looking at kubeadm is for the CKA

I'm so sorry to hear about Tina's gall bladder issues. Damn the medical system for making you wait on otherwise routine surgery.

This is a pretty slick subdomain finder. Doing a workup on a company and my usual sources were coming up dry.

I'm curious what they're pulling from.

Everyone has one of these keyword lists on their resume with zero detail. I figured I’d actually organize mine and write a few drop in sentences.

I think my "kanban" board is pretty bougie. Not an ad for Expedient, I just have their post-it notes for some reason.
