Decided to update my image gallery theme which then turned into a almost a full re-write of the backed storage.

Spent a week in Bergen 🇳🇴 Norway to enjoy the fjords without the need of a Cruise ship

Spent a couple of days helping a friend host a few game-servers from their home without the need of opening ports on their ISP firewall and avoid issues with ISP changing public IP or CGNAT. All using the power of @Tailscale , a cheap VPS and nginx.

After spending years away from SQL coming back I forget how powerful it is. One Query that can get if a link is in a team a user is in or if set to public and some simple fuzzy searching

[Robert @robrotheram]

Having some fun on a project where I got bored and added a dark mode using only 24 lines of js and an additional 12 lines of CSS .

Amazing what you can achieve now with 0 frameworks or libraries

@ovh_support_en Hi there I have a order that has been stuck in "Preparing your order" for the past couple of days any change you can take a look

Bring back Scrapheap Challenge.

I think I have worked out time travel. I am doing practically the same thing I did in 2016. Building a Hadoop cluster

[Robert @robrotheram]

Might have gone too far with GItOps. I currently got Terreform to deploy an Argo-CD application which provision me a TLS certificate and create a Cloudflare DNS entry. https://t.co/gkqdkWFaN2

[Robert @robrotheram]

So I now at a point where I now control a k8 cluster only using Terraform + argocd

So with a terraform apply will create an app in ArgoCD which will, thanks to external-dns and cert-manager, create a dns entry and provison a new certifcate

[Robert @robrotheram]

I been tinkering with a GitHub workspace alternative that I can self host . Its from @coderhq
Interesting idea of work spaces powered by terraform

For the past few months my 8 year Pc has been very unstable.
Sometimes it would be fine for days and other times it would freeze after 10 mins. Tried a bunch of things from switching ram to BIOS updates.

In the end just replacing the thermal compound fixed it.

[Robert @robrotheram]

Currently I gave is just a snippet as the disassembled of a very basic hello world go web server is 32M and kept crashing my browser

[Robert @robrotheram]

So I decided to try something I had not seen before
Give #ChatGPT some machine code and get it to generate the source code.

Last day at work and discovering that there was a old pc still running @ubuntu 16.04 and remembering that was the latest LTS when you installed it. Feels like it was not that long ago 😂

[Robert @robrotheram]

Slowly getting to the point where my entire dev environment is fully cloud, IAC and in my own cluster

Next step to revisit auth

[Robert @robrotheram]

Its taken 5 hours to get the NextJS tutorial to run. But to be fair I had a few pre-requisites.
1. Install K3S
2. Install and configure cert-manager
3. Install https://t.co/yI2xobimdy into the cluster
4. Create workspace
5. Install node
6. Clone the repo
7. Finally run it

[Robert @robrotheram]

But there goes my hope that using @Microsoft365 as a simple email hosting solution☹️

[Robert @robrotheram]

My love hate relationship for @Microsoft365 emails continue. In this day and age when setting up exchange why does MS not tell me to enable DMARC to validate my custom email domain and the only way I found out was someone telling me the email ended up in the junk folder 😡

[Robert @robrotheram]

The only plus was that after a couple of mins searching for why my emails are being marked as spam.
It was a matter of clicking one button in the console and adding 2 new DNS entries that get validated.
