If you have never been on triple NAT’d connection also involving a cellular network… you must try it. It’s amazing.

T-Mobile CGNat -> carrier provided modem with no bridge mode -> my dependable router.

Carrier modem has wifi and switch.. but zero controls and performs awful for a big house. Literally the worst admin interface I’ve ever seen. I can only view info and set wifi networks. Nothing else.

Getting to the point I’m seriously considering going back to evilcorp.. aka comcrap 😞

To be clear - they aren’t too interested in k3os. k3s seems to be very much alive

Recently started finally building a little home lab. My goal was to run k3s as master on a pi and two little beelink mini s as my nodes running k3os.

But appears @Rancher_Labs after suse acquired isn’t too interested in it. Feels much like coreos being ditched in acquisition

To all websites the keep all old password hashes around that I’ve ever used and have weird validation rules… I hate you.

I know password managers.. But come on seriously. Why would you even want to keep all my old password hashes around?

A bit behind tech news. Saw the raspberry pico w has been released. Got excited since pico has stayed in stock… but of course the w is out of stock everywhere 🙈

Hopefully it stays in stock a bit better then the pi does. Been trying to get a pi 4 for months

Earlier this year I read a book called The Phoenix Project. Now I’m reading the second book by the same authors called The Unicorn Project.

10/10 would recommend them both. Such an interesting style of delivering with real world relatable problems that get you thinking.

I probably did reinvent the wheel. But here is my story of that journey

This is of course all related to previous toot. Have a livecd on site I made several years ago that opens a reverse shell to my vps for access to the remote machine. But I’ve lost my copy of the ssh keys and can’t find my copy of the disk 😂

What a show

Teamviewer has apparently decided that I’m using for commercial purposes by helping grandparents with their computer problems… and limiting me to sessions about 1 minute long. With a cool down between times I can connect if 2-3 minutes.

Between being periods of access I’m trying to establish an alternate channel.

I looked at paying them a while back.. but after this sort of behavior I think instead it’s time to replace once and for all.

Before I put on my hackers hat and reinvent the wheel..

Say you have someone home bound 8+ hour away.. in need of windows password reset? Another machine is present I can and have been able to write usb to. Ntpasswd already failed me with kernel issues. What do you do?

General inquiry to my tech peers. Jira I very frequently hear from developers how much they hate it. But, why? Is there something specific about it?

Looks like all the recording from KubeCon EU are landing on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/cloudnativefdn/videos

Several gitops + cluster-api definitely going to have to rewatch. Interesting evolution of infrastructure as code
