@VKCsh Same, my wife can't process how I don't have full pictures/people talking through scenarios, or able to picture rooms/decor changing , I can't work out how she can cope with it!

The next post in my home infra overhaul series!

This details how to use @giteaio and @droneio together to run a self-hosted Git and Continuous Integration system

@AdrianMester @matryer https://t.co/AXcbfM4T7w - moonlander, I've had one for about a year now and I love it

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

All the keyboards in one shot. I may have a problem.

Another angle 😁

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

A new one for the flock!

A HeliDox/Corne V3, with Cherry MX Browns. Took a couple of attempts, with a broken PCB that needed replacing and half the parts rebuying, but it's sorted!

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

Getting back into the swing of this blogging thing!

This has some changes I needed to make to my #SaltStack environment, ready to start using it with CI (as well as simplifying how I use it).

Hopefully a few useful tips for people to pick up!

@pepoluan Yeah, there's definitely ways to achieve it with salt-ssh, but I'm also using Ansible to manage machines without agents and other apps.

I view Ansible more as a source of truth for what exists on my network, and Salt to for managing what's deployed on it.

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

It's been a while since my last blog post.
I am writing about my overhaul of managing my home and personal infrastructure. Includes a few tips on how to speed up Ansible execution, and much more

@IronicBadger The idea of the result changing hours after leaves a sour taste in the mouth, but I think Masi either needs some other people to help or to be replaced.

The decisions this year from race direction have been mind boggling

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

@VKCsh Only ever had to for work purposes though thankfully!

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

@VKCsh I don't need to any longer, but VirtualBox for anything graphical, Hyper-V for anything I wanted performance from.

I found the graphical side lacking in Hyper-V for multi screens (possibly down to the RDP-style approach), but it was infinitely more performant for headless VMs

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

@edent @ErgoDoxEZ @Jack_Franklin I absolutely love my split boards. Getting used to it took time but it feels worth it.

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

@alexellisuk This is beautiful. Wonderful look to it.

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

@jonobacon Were all the guitar and bass tones AxeFX? Think I might end up with one in the near future.

Hell of a lineup you've got in the band too! Maybe redo the Bad Voltage jingles a bit more metal'd up? 😁

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

@lizrice I would definitely be up for following them! I came from Python, then to Go, C is another step beyond at this point for me. Anything to make easier is more than welcome 😁

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

Been learning #eBPF recently. It's been very, very fun. Massive thank you to @lizrice and her tutorial videos, it gave me the confidence to learn C for the first time (after being a bit intimidated by it previously). Absolutely amazing videos!

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

@pojntfx Well now I might have to break out the Mac Mini G4 and do something very similar! Thanks for the inspiration :D

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

@dnilas0r @PulumiCorp @Salt_Project_OS @equinixmetal @rawkode Thank you, it was fun writing it, and doing it all with Pulumi and bare metal made it twice as fun 😁

[Stuart Howlette @stuh84]

I had a little bit of fun with @PulumiCorp, @Salt_Project_OS and @equinixmetal, creating a bare metal anycast setup using BGP (specifically #ExaBGP).

I also want to thank @rawkode for the inspiration with the Tinkerbell Testing infrastructure
