Homelab update! Nutanix wasn’t it. Didn’t like my hardware. So I’m running @proxmox.bsky.social And in this screenshot, I’m in a hotel on an iPad Pro using @tailscale.com to get to my lab, and installing Windows Server 2022 for AD/ DNS/ DHCP for the lab. It’s surreal how seamless Tailscale works.

When you import two 3d models at once and forget to make sure they both start on the bed. #orcaslicer #ankermakem5 #3dprintermistakes

Homelab day 3: it’s alive! The SFP model arrives so I was able to connect the lab switch to the router and configure that. Next frustration was that there’s apparently no way to write the Nutanix ISO to a USB drive successfully in macOS. Using dd don’t work. balenaEtcher. UNetBootIn didn’t work.

Homelab adventures day 2: I thought I had a workaround when I found a Mikrotik Hex S router with an SFP port in one of my drawers. I used one of the DAC cables I have for the servers, but that didn’t play well with the Trendnet 10g switch. I was hoping they would auto-negotiate to 1g.

Home lab adventures: Day 1 installing a three node Nutanix cluster onto Minisforum MS-01 hosts failed miserably. No Intel 2.5Gb drivers (really?!), so my initial idea of bonding the two 10g NICs for inter-cluster comms and using the 2.5g for external is now scrapped.

An AI tip for you: use an abstraction layer by calling @kdraggoo.bsky.social and describing the prompts you want him to ask while you’re driving.

Senator @booker.senate.gov has shown more eloquence, tenacity, and courage over the past 19 hours than Trump has in the entirety of his life. We may be out-gunned and out-manned, but this is how you make an all out stand.

Seriously?? First @howiethecrab.bsky.social and now Leon the Lobster in the same week? Fuck this timeline. RIP my crustacean friends.

Dammit past in-a-hurry me! Current in-a -hurry me does not approve!

I just realized that in an odd bit of commonality, both Trump and I chose Constitution as our dump stat.

Saw on Facebook an argument that Musk is being transparent with www.doge-tracker.com. Let’s look that up, shall we? lookup.icann.org/en/lookup Hmm. Ownership redacted with a mailing address in Iceland. So much for transparency. 🤷‍♂️

The favicon for Gitlab looks close enough to the one for FetLife that I panic just a bit every time I see it on a tab on my work computer. 😬

I hope my son’s school backpack was worth it. So annoying.

Self care day! Scalp treatment is next!

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Pulled this from FB. Credit to... somebody else. 🤷‍♂️

My chopsticks delivered with dinner, both from one sealed single use pack, are different sizes. Sisters, not twins. I think that’s how that works?

The Future of Orion xkcd.com/3012

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a boxing match. I’ve never cared. Too much toxic masculinity. But I’ve got to say, I’m excited about this one!

New profile pic.

Do you ever make a mistake so monumentally dumb you question your whole profession? I returned a Logitech mouse because the scroll wheel was broken. The replacement was also broken, so I messaged support. Turns out there’s a button RIGHT THERE that switches from free spin to ratcheting. 🤦🏼‍♂️

So… This still exists. 👀

Apparently 500 is the max number of tabs one can have in mobile safari. I need to do some cleanup.

Sometimes it's the little things that get you. I forgot to add -a to a sudo usermod -G, so instead of adding to my groups I replaced them. And now I'm no longer in the sudo group. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Now, where did that rescue thumb drive go?

Seriously, call your Senators now. This needs to be stopped before it goes any further. They want to drive LGBTQIA+ off the internet entirely, and Democrats are on board. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/07/25/influencers-starting-to-realize-how-the-kids-online-safety-act-kosa-will-do-real-damage/

*sigh* Time to get new glasses, and my favorite pair that I’ve found are Gucci. Who am I??

Can we get a workspace 🧵 going? I’d love to know that I’m not the only one working in chaos. (I ran out of room in the alt text! Didn’t get to mention my plants!😭)

This is what a 3d print nozzle is supposed to look like. Right? It’s supposed to take vise grips to remove?

Not LinkedIn catching wind of situation! This is really bad https://www.linkedin.com/posts/scotthirleman_hey-jay-graber-paul-frazee-emily-liu-rose-activity-7085339319925633024-uLEw?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios

if you're thinking "well the team must have their hands full at the moment so we should jsut give them time" please understand that none of them have posted in 6 hours and it takes about 7 seconds to type "holy shit that should not be allowed I'll fix it right away" and hit post.

Y’all it wasn’t the BlueSky devs who uploaded the slur filter tonight. It was volunteers.

RT only if you are NOT becoming more conservative as you grow older.

I did not have “Falling out of a truck, knocking my senses out of whack, and probably dislocating my shoulder” on my list for today.
