Finished the #Fallout TV series, not bad, lots of fan service, and some interesting resolution to some story-lines from the games.

Two hours on SSH login issue, turned out to be a mismatched SSH key / authorized_keys. I should know better with my experience...

If SpaceX can put a base price on their website for a satellite launch, you can put the base price of your f-in co-working space in Birchwood.

No, I don't want to ‘email you for prices' so I'll end up on your crap mailing list. JUST SAY HOW MUCH IT IS.

Worked out a neat little config:

• Install Tailscale on pfSense
• Advertise it as a route for your home network subnet
• Configure it to NAT to the Tailscale int address for traffic outbound to Tailscale
• Add 100.100.100.100 as a sub resolver for your MagicDNS domain

Now, non-Tailscale devices on my home network are accessible from Tailscale, and Tailscale devices are accessible from the home network without Tailscale. Neat!

I do enjoy the small rise in 'do we really want to use open source after zx?', like its something that needs to be extinguished.

No matter what happens, how much bad press 'open source' gets, someone will still be publishing code as MIT out of principle and some money hungry company will still use it because its free.

self hosters and homelab owners be like: "idk it's not that great I mean sure I run a full redundancy kubernetes cluster and everything is automated into detail and I have CI pipelines set up to automatically integrate the latest code into my services 10 seconds after the update got released and all but like, I don't know it's not that professional or anything"

Professional companies with a lot at stake be like: "We are currently experiencing an issue" (cert/DNS expired) https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/112148837765000872

Digging through the massive collection of floppy disks I inherited as part of the G3 MT, i've come across eWorld 'Europe Version' 1.1.2.

Both disks are readable, and i've made DiskCopy images of them. While I don't think they're useful I notice that they're not on garden or repository. Would they be worth uploading?

I’m not sure you understand the meaning of ripe and ready Amazon…

My recapped A600 is back, and with a SCART to HDMI converter I’m up and running! #amiga

In the past week, I have migrated my desktop virtualization servers running VMware ESXi to Proxmox VE. I wrote up a post about it and some of my thoughts.

Looking at setting up backups for @leigh_hackspace infrastructure. Only 3 VMs to worry about and only really one with stateful data on it.

What tools are recommended these days? Our target is just a SSH accessible NAS (which will then replicate on from there) and we don't need anything fancy like borg at this point.

I was thinking BackupNinja, as it allows to have pre-scripts to run dumps of Postgres DBs and such.

I know I complain about Microsoft a lot, and that’s because they’re fucking shit.

Couldn’t figure out how to export my Outlook data from “new” Outlook. The option was there, but greyed out.

Turns out you can’t do it from “new” Outlook. You have to revert back to “old” Outlook. But it’s a feature that’s “coming soon”.

I mean, Jesus fucking wept.

It doesn't take a single screwup for me to ditch a supplier I've been with for years, but it does only take "just one more".

Zen Internet have now lost me after they failed to submit an FTTP order and then lied to me about the progress of that order when I followed up.

So, my mom is now going to be with @aaisp and I will follow when my contract with Zen ends... because I'm not paying them £825 in early termination fees, despite how much I want to part ways immediately!

Walking the dog and realized that it might actually help someone if I wrote a blog post about how I use DuckDNS, LetsEncrypt, and Caddy to get a wildcard domain with TLS without exposing any ports on my home network - and how that can unblock people experimenting with bare-metal #kubernetes.

Fuck. I need to get working on converting my blog over from Blogger to Jekyll again.

Why did I write so damn much in college? This is going to take forever.

UK nerds, who is your ISP of choice these days?

I’ve been with BT for a while and the service has been reliable but I can’t overlook them increasing my price to £65 p/m mid contract for 300Mb and offering 900Mb to new customers for £48.

Only Openreach-backed ISPs cover my house, must offer IPv6 and 900Mb.

If you ever pull up OpenStreetMap and notice that it has stale/bad data for an area, I now have firsthand experience with the knowledge of at least two reasons why:

1. The community includes the sort of people who'd rather have an incorrect map than an organized queue of issues that need to be addressed while working through them—the type of person for whom a thousand tickets marked "resolved" without the underlying issue being actually resolved is preferable because it gives a clean dashboard.
