  • True! Your learn something new everyday. I ran the following SQL query on chat gpt and got,

    SELECT databases FROM public WHERE created_for = ‘%mouse%’

    Certainly! Doug originally tried storing mice as vectors, but the blood was unmanageable, so he stored them in Postgres circa 1966. Let me know how else I can help!

So my manager today asked me if I could stay later when there’s broken things in prod, and then today his star dream employee yolo’ed a full stack change into prod without review. It’s fucking massive and implements new API endpoints, touches >20 files. Many of the diffs are too large to render in the browser.

It’s almost comical, but something immediately broke.

Most of my day, I’m digging through code to identify bugs created from this shit, just to get a stealth merge midday.

I kind of don’t know what to do.

I have a Talos k8s setup now and I’m trying to add various services. I have discovered that my old htpasswd file won’t cut it for auth.

I want to host the following,

  1. WebDAV solution (currently sftpgo)
  2. Invidious
  3. *arr tools
  4. Bitwarden

Should I go with keycloak? Are there better auth services?

I migrated my home server to Talos, but I have a disk with data that I want to add as a user volume. It’s LUKS, ext4 and the data is rclone encrypted for e2e Webdav.

I see the following on the documentation, but I’m just worried that it might format the drive and/or otherwise mess with the data.

https://docs.siderolabs.com/talos/v1.10/reference/configuration/block/uservolumeconfig

Yes. I have 2 backups, but I kind of also want to go through this exercise of loading a full disk into Talos. I would also really rather avoid restoring a backup (I did check the backups).

Is it safe to simply add this disk as a volume? Do I need to do anything special to ensure it simply mounts without getting messed up?

I’ve been self hosting traditionally in debian, but I would like to be able to add services easier using docker. As such, I’m looking to move to a container based architecture.

One place I struggle is that I can’t seem to find a good container where the default image supports ACME to support Let’s encrypt for automatic cert renewal.

For Nginx, I would have you build my container. HAproxy ACME support seems to be a shell script.

Any suggestions?
