How to install Loki & Fluent Bit for lightweight monitoring across your k8s cluster.

A small, painfully procedural and script for copying data from one PVC to another across StorageClasses.

cert-manager, one of the most important operators in the k8s ecosystem, just moved from Bazel to Make, and that's awesome. In case it wasn't clear, I'm biased in favor of Makefiles.

A pattern for how to handle ENV in SvelteKit on the back and front end. I basically sidestep the VITE_ prefix approach and just pass things through via the session.

Those pre-launch market validation put-your-email-in-here pages should probably be called prospecting pages. I haven't been using those enough at all.

Crazy enough to host your own email, but don't know how to set up auto configuration for your mail clients (like Thunderbird)? If you haven't googled it yet, this post is for you.

The future of Open Source is AGPL and it's been a long time coming.

How I (painfully) upgraded a running k0s cluster from single-master to HA master. In the end I think a single well-equipped master was actually quite stable and better, but the lure of 'web scale' was too strong. Also, if you're thinking of attempting this, just start a new cluster.

If you ever wondered how to install newer versions and bleeding edge ZFS on a bare metal (Hetzner)? Here's a writeup on that.

How I built LoginWithHN, an OAuth2+OpenID Connect provider for HackerNews.

I'm starting off 2022 in classic yak shaver style; with something I'm not supposed to be doing for tenuous financial gain -- running Ceph on ZFS.

Sometimes, if Prometheus gets too chatty with your mail server (it should never be looking for metrics on port 25 anyway), it can overwhelm SMTP servers which perform backoff for bad requests.

Looking to run Postgres on ZFS? I've gathered some of the information and sage advice out there to give you a head start on figuring out how to do it safely and efficiently.

A while back, I had a somewhat soft node failure due to Calico not allowing the same node to come up under a different IP address.

Wondering what happens when a hard drive you're using on a Hetzner dedicated server fails? Wonder no longer.

I used Baserow (https://baserow.io) as the backend for a tiny landing page built for NimbusWS (https://nimbusws.com). Yak shaving aside, building with Baserow was quicker, easier, and much easier to manage/administer than other solutions I might have chosen in the past.

I recently reworked my storage setup in pursuit of both production and flexibility. Looking at the F/OSS space led me to OpenEBS ZFS LocalPV with Longhorn on top, and here's why.
