Okay, after a bunch of inaction I'm finally firing up Docker and Kubernetes and playing a bit. I'm starting to dream a bit too, because beside thinking about running a Grocy and a Monica install, I'm also thinking about a getting email and possibly VoIP working. I've even done some …
read moreMaking some tangible progress
I'm happy to have been pragmatic and made some actual gains. One thing I did do was to commit to a Jamstack blog, which has been decent overall. This was a step up from a plain text blog and a small piece that I wrote that would pump out the …
read moreHow is Kubernetes doing?
So, at first glance, Kubernetes is not doing well. I haven't seriously played with it in some time, have no current instances running and I do feel a bit disconnected to it. Okay. But, below the surface, things are going on. I'm following a k8s blog or three; I've built …
read moreRaspberry Pi not dead
The Pi-Zero W that had been my PiHole server is not dead like I thought it was. The zero w wasn't showing any lights, which led me to believe something had gone wrong. Well, something was wrong but I now know likely its a card corruption rather than a physical …

Lots of things going on but still most things in-progress rather than completed. I've done a bunch of good learning as well as a number of good deeds, so my soul is in a good place, but what I need to do is get some i's dotted and t's crossed …
read moreClean and renew
I'm trying to centralize and clean, but it can be hard to stay focused and motivated at times. Small things come up, and just daily distractions can make progress seem hard. I've done quite a bit on the centralizing side, but I need to spend some time on the backup …
read moreLearning more docker
While I've managed to run and do a bit of hacking around the edge of Docker containers up until now, I am starting to put all the pieces together in my understanding.
I'm still not an expert or fully adept, but I was able to figure out storage bits -- how …
read moreFiddling with ec2
So, I've started to port over my pages from my current dynamic but unthemed system to a Jamstack version, and that is going well. What isn't going as well is getting the files from the generated directories onto the real system in an easy way. Unlike in the past, I've …
