Good news! Got my #kubernetes cluster and #NAS all fixed up and set static DHCP leases at my router. That should avoid at least some of the nonsense in the future.

#homelab #linux

Follow up: bought a minipc from protectli to run #opnsense and a UPS. Also putting up a youtube video on why you should plan for resilience so you don't end up like me.

I finally got my #k3s #kubernetes cluster into a nice working state and my power went out, IPs shuffled, and now my homelab is a mess

Three lessons:
- get your own router so you can set static IPs
- configure DNS
- get a fckin UPS

I've heard the same thing. A friend of mine runs Debian testing and was really looking forward to the new mesa drivers ... not so good even with his 9070xt

I know I shouldn't try again ... but Omarchy is so much fun to use and this damn macbook calls me like the devil on my shoulder. So, I think this week's Youtube video is going to be about that.

Wish me luck!

YouTube video by Nathan Laundry Installing ARCH LINUX + HYPRLAND on a 2018 MacBook Pro Gave me PSYCHIC DAMAGE!

#Omarchy V3.0 has T2 macbook support!!!

A few months ago I made a video on installing #ArchLinux + #Hyprland on the T2 Macbook and it was such an awful experience this is the thumbnail of that video youtu.be/0rR7EofGNjM

Stream went great! Thanks all for coming!

We finally got ArgoCD's webui working through a traefik IngressRoute .... but the CLI doesn't work. Ya, win some. Ya lose some.

I'll be live again next week to work on my Debian13-based NAS with #zfs!

Declarative Kubernetes with ArgoCD! #Kubernetes #Proxmox #Homelab Building (Part 6) YouTube video by Nathan Laundry

I’ve been tinkering with Linux for almost 10 years — now I’m using my homelab as a sandbox for “real” DevOps tools:

Kubernetes
GitOps
Infrastructure as Code

Basically, I break things in my lab, live, so I’m ready to fix them in production ... and people will hire me :D

I was hoping to get to this last week but got caught up figuring out how manifests work ...

This week, I swear we'll get this running lol

YouTube video by Nathan Laundry Should You Switch to Linux in 2025? (Install Linux Mint 22.2 Guide)

I've had a lot of people bring up windows 10 LTSC in my GlazeWM video and Linux Mint video. I really respect DJWare's thoughts on why LTSC IS NOT a good option for home use.

YouTube video by DJ Ware Windows 10 End of Support - 6 Things You Can Do (2025 Edition)

Just want to highlight a great video on what to do when windows 10 support ends.

Deployed AdGuard Home in #Kubernetes with my own manifests Live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWts...
Broke probes. Lost the UI. Fixed configs.
Learned more here than I would’ve if Helm just “worked.”
