It’s been a while! Let us know what you’re currently working on, what exploded, what cool stuff you found, or just brag that everything is running fine unattended.
I haven’t been doing a lot, renovate auto upgrades for patches and sometimes minor updates work great so far. I got involved in my union to spin up a mastodon server soon, so there’s a new project, but I already run mastodon so it shouldn’t be much of a deal, I just need to get comfortable with the infrastructure. I also set up ntfy but only sent some test notifications and didn’t configure any app yet - planned for Element Chat.
[Meta] I’m not sure how to apply the new tags. In the recent versions of this thread, people sometimes posted about their ollama setup or the like, but I’m not mentioning AI in the post body (except this meta thingy) and it shouldn’t be much of the discussion, but it’s an open post. Maybe curbstickle can chime in to let me know if I should apply one of them.


Not much for me atm, though in a day or two I’m (finally) fixing a major problem with my VM storage array - I’m replacing the crappy Crucial BX500’s in my VM storage mirror with a couple refurbished 2TB Intel D3-S4510 SSDs I got from Server Part Deals. I’m very excited for this saga to be over, since I’ve been fighting horrible VM performance for over a year, and it was bad enough to where simply pushing changes to git repos or syncing a modest amount of data to my Nextcloud would hang the VMs for a few minutes!
Otherwise I’m just looking at maybe replacing my Puppet infra with SaltStack, and getting some new Packer images built for FreeBSD 15.1 and Almalinux 10 :)
