Homelab update! Nutanix wasn’t it. Didn’t like my hardware. So I’m running @proxmox.bsky.social And in this screenshot, I’m in a hotel on an iPad Pro using @tailscale.com to get to my lab, and installing Windows Server 2022 for AD/ DNS/ DHCP for the lab. It’s surreal how seamless Tailscale works.
An iPad screen shot of the Windows Server 2022 installer. It’s running in a console window of Proxmox, over a Tailscale connection from my hotel to my lab network at home, which was ridiculously easy to set up. I cannot begin to describe to you how much it hurts my soul to install Windows anywhere in my lab, but it will be good experience I suppose. I’ve never heard of a corporation using Red Hat IdM for its main authentication management. Anyway, it will be fun!

When you import two 3d models at once and forget to make sure they both start on the bed. #orcaslicer #ankermakem5 #3dprintermistakes
A photo of an AnkerMake build plate with the upper and lower halves of a Raspberry Pi case in black PETG. The smaller base on the right was set up correctly. The upper half on the left however is sitting on top of a half inch mess of supports because I failed to ensure it was sitting on the axis before I printed it. That’s going to be fun to clean up. Luckily it’s getting stuffed into the back of the printer enclosure so niceness isn’t a factor.

Homelab day 3: it’s alive! The SFP model arrives so I was able to connect the lab switch to the router and configure that. Next frustration was that there’s apparently no way to write the Nutanix ISO to a USB drive successfully in macOS. Using dd don’t work. balenaEtcher. UNetBootIn didn’t work.
Dashboard of my new three node Nutanix CE cluster. I know what a handful of these things are but it’s mostly foreign after a career in VMWare. There are some errors and warnings that I’ll dive into tomorrow.

Homelab adventures day 2: I thought I had a workaround when I found a Mikrotik Hex S router with an SFP port in one of my drawers. I used one of the DAC cables I have for the servers, but that didn’t play well with the Trendnet 10g switch. I was hoping they would auto-negotiate to 1g.
A partial view of a messy home lab deal. An 8U 10” rack is in the forefront, with three Minisforum MS-01 computers and a Trendnet 8 port 10g switch. There are two highlighter green DAC cables coming from the back of each server to the 10g switch, nicely cable-tied. A failed boot of the Nutanix CE installer sits on an LCD screen in the background.

Home lab adventures: Day 1 installing a three node Nutanix cluster onto Minisforum MS-01 hosts failed miserably. No Intel 2.5Gb drivers (really?!), so my initial idea of bonding the two 10g NICs for inter-cluster comms and using the 2.5g for external is now scrapped.

An AI tip for you: use an abstraction layer by calling @kdraggoo.bsky.social and describing the prompts you want him to ask while you’re driving.

Senator @booker.senate.gov has shown more eloquence, tenacity, and courage over the past 19 hours than Trump has in the entirety of his life. We may be out-gunned and out-manned, but this is how you make an all out stand.

I just realized that in an odd bit of commonality, both Trump and I chose Constitution as our dump stat.

Saw on Facebook an argument that Musk is being transparent with www.doge-tracker.com.

Let’s look that up, shall we?

lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

Hmm. Ownership redacted with a mailing address in Iceland.

So much for transparency. 🤷‍♂️

The favicon for Gitlab looks close enough to the one for FetLife that I panic just a bit every time I see it on a tab on my work computer. 😬

I hope my son’s school backpack was worth it. So annoying.
Side view picture of a blue late model Honda Fit sitting in a mall parking lot. The rear window has been busted out, and there is a smattering of broken safety glass on the ground. Noticeably absent from this picture, were you to look into the window, is my son‘s school backpack. This has presumably been dumped somewhere after the thieves realized there was nothing of value within.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Quoting to say it publicly, Twitter is an extremely toxic place for neurodivergent, queer and BIPOC folk. The amount of racism, ableism and queerphobia people constantly face there is abnormal. It's affecting mental health negatively. Ever since I quit Twitter I started to get better so

Best wishes

My chopsticks delivered with dinner, both from one sealed single use pack, are different sizes.

Sisters, not twins. I think that’s how that works?
Two wooden chopsticks from one single use to go package sitting on the arm of a couch. One chopstick is about twenty percent smaller than the other. Ignore the bit of napkin in the upper right corner I didn’t notice until I was posting this and couldn’t crop out.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a boxing match. I’ve never cared. Too much toxic masculinity.

But I’ve got to say, I’m excited about this one!

New profile pic.
Aging xennial with a graying beard, and wild gray hair a month over due for a haircut, sitting at a messy home office desk. I’m wearing a Heather gray tshirt that says “Roll with Pride” with a D20 in the O in “Roll”, and a rainbow ribbon winding through the words, and I’m holding my single annual Starbucks pumpkin spice latte.
