Building, breaking, fixing and documenting.

☕ Powered by coffee. Documented by necessity.

This is how you spend an hour bus journey right? #Hugo #WebDev

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

Well that was a productive night playing with #hugo and has genuinely been fun cosplaying as a #WebDev for the first time properly in about 8 years 😅
Time to commit to GitHub!

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

Time to start a project that I have very much been looking forward to for a while. #hugo

Anakin after underestimating the high ground.

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

Started the day planning to write a couple of notes for the #Homelab.

8 hours later:

GitHub profile refresh, Network infrastructure documented, VLANs and DHCP planned out and a lot more coffee consumed than planned

This was a bit more than a couple of notes 😂😂

#SelfHosting

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

Well it's finally happening. Documentation time

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

One factory reset later and we're back in! :D

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

So todays vital lesson learned... Don't accidently remove all VLAN tags from the uplink port to the switch....

Time to go factory reset a switch🤦‍♂️

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

So after a few hours (user error, but lessons learned!) and a @smoon_lee to the rescue, we have a working unifi controller docker container and working APs

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

Honestly, having played around with desktop Ubuntu for 24 hours... is it too early to say I might actually prefer it over Windows?
#Linux #Ubuntu

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

Had to restore the back up xD

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

So today is going to be a play around with #OPNsense and properly learn #VLANs and #firewall rules. I have 6 hours to get everything done that I want to while the other half is at work. Wish me luck! and of course, a backup was taken before I started!

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

Upgrade day! Finally bought some much needed upgrades for Wifi for the house (within a tight budget) #Homelab #Ubiquiti #Netgear

[Chris Kay @TheCakOne]

So I've really been lacking motivation with what to learn next and minus random little docker bits, I've not really done much. So twitter, I did a thing

[Diablo @Diablo]

Forgive my absence on April 28th. Hatred stirs, and I must answer.

Season 3 of Helluva Boss is so big, it needed two parts. Part one this fall and part two in 2027.
