Recovering from a failed Proxmox upgrade

Today I'll look at how I recovered from a failed Proxmox 8 to 9 upgrade on a small form factor Dell that I use. This system is one of two in the cluster, and it failed during the upgrade process. This failure was not caught by the pve8to9 utility, which gave me a clean report prior to the upgrade. However, during the last few steps of the u

Flux monorepo layout

Flux, or FluxCD, is a "set of continuous and progressive delivery solutions for Kubernetes that are open and extensible" and is my preferred way to do "GitOps" in my Kubernetes clusters. I like Flux because it handles Helm extremely well (I'm a big fan of Helm) and allows me to have a simple fallback if something goes wrong. In this post, I will go through the process of

I have basically finished my post about how to configure Home Assistant Quick Actions on CarPlay but I can't publish it because I botched one of the screenshots!

I maintain the #fluxcd is the better solution (over #argocd) if you are heavily invested in helm. I prefer how it works with helm resources and I prefer that I can still manually take over a helm based resource extremely easily if I need to.

Very happy to see that #DragonflyDB has patched an issue that will hopefully resolve an edge case that affects #Mastodon

Making Espresso at Home

For about a year I have been making espresso based drinks at home. Coffee, and coffee based drinks, is not something I got interested in until after Covid but my appreciation of it has grown over the years to the point where I found it was better financially to make it at home than buy it daily from a local shop. In this post I am going to discuss the equipment and access

Quick note about the JBL BassPro Hub

After installing a Sony XAV-AX6000 head unit and getting everything setup I decided I want to go the next step and add a subwoofer. Not because the Sony ruined the sound by any means, it just gave me the itch to get even better bass. I don't really want to give up trunk space so I decide to try the JBL BassPro Hub since it fits in the spare t
