Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeLab
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe homelab bot.
Mention it in your homelab posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the homelab posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation.

I haven't actually seen a total on bandwidth used on my home network through my ISP for quite awhile.
9.073TB is a fair bit. lol.
tbf: that includes three webcams streaming 24/7 and other image transfers happening regularly.
Hooray for free/discounted unlimited bandwidth.

What's a good mesh router brand? Will be looking for a new/secondhand routers

Homelab migration done, all of the VMs are on Debian which makes things easier to manage. Currently deleting the old mirrors out of storage and running a few backups at the moment. I think it's time to maybe play some vidya games and just enjoy the rest of Sunday.

Wrote a new blog post - this one's about setting up git-generator #ArgoCD ApplicationSets.

Found an issue with the Borg backup cron job, but got that fixed up and ran backups for today. Fortunately, this one didn't take 20 hours...lol. Backups are now verified but I'll feel better if the cron job works as expected tomorrow.

Ansible playbook done "enough", everything is now matching. Evidently I did forget to transition one server over to Debian, but got that sorted and now everything is running pretty well.

Found this nice tui for kubernetes this weekend - #argocd specific logic - you can use it to alter argo settings and do other things you might otherwise do with the argocd command line tool
Looks pretty neat, especially for #homelab @… #k8s users

Recommendations on a 24port 2.5 and 10Gbs switch for a home network?
I would like to swap out my aged 1Gbs managed switch with an unmanaged variety. (I used VLANs at the start but long ago decided they were more work than they were worth for even a relatively complex/busy home network)
currently trolling ebay.
Oh, also if you have recommendations for places to obtain such a beast with decent shipping to Canada, let me know!

I made a helm chart for running Eclipse Mosquitto in a k8s cluster for my Home Assistant and wrote a blog post showing how to configure and install it.

One of the coolest features of this little guy... USB modem support! If I could get a cheap data-only plan (in Canada?! AHAHHAHAHAH) then I could use it as a little failsafe WAN connection! #footiMac #selfhost #homelab #networking

verdict: I should have got this router 2 years ago.... as the apple nerds (me) say: the DNS loopback/hairpin "just worked"!
so much fun to be had with this little beasty! tons of config options.
success!
#footiMac #selfhost #homelab #networking

testing out the connection speed. Looks good max for my Telus Fibre connection.
I toyed with the idea of getting one with a 2.5Gb class WAN port as I believe Telus is offering >1Gb connections now... but I resisted. This was only $80 and is far more feature rich than the telus router and should be just as fast if not faster thanks to better internals than the Telus router.
#footiMac #selfhost #homelab #networking

alrighty folks! time to install the new network box!
Will see if I can fully replace the Telus router (white roundish tower thing on the top shelf) with the asus router.
there will definitely be interruptions in internet to this mstdn account, as well as to the alberniweather blog.
It would be nice if it preserves my ip address, and not need a ddns update but I doubt I will be that lucky.
See you on the flip side! I will post updates from @…
