As I mentioned in my previous post, I ran into what I believe are some GPU issues with my Dell 7510. So, like any self-respecting nerd (is that an oxymoron?), I ordered a replacement part from parts-people.com and got to work. Prep Work As with most things these days, you can almost always find some… Continue reading A little maintenance task

Tech Tip – Interacting with ETCD in Rancher Kubernetes Engine 2
Since cycling my cluster nodes is a “fire script and wait” operation, I kicked one off today. I ended up running into an issue that required me to dig a bit into ETCD in RKE2, and could not find direct help, so this is as much my own reference as it is a guide for… Continue reading Tech Tip – Interacting with ETCD in Rancher Kubernetes Engine 2
Jumping in to 3D Design and Printing
As I’ve been progressing through various projects at home, I have a few 3D printing projects that I would like to tackle. With that, I needed to learn how to design models to print. This has led me down a bit of a long road, and I’m still not done…. What to use? A colleague… Continue reading Jumping in to 3D Design and Printing
Hackintosh – Windows 11 Edition
About a year ago, I upgraded my home laptop to Windows 11. I swapped out my old system drive (which was a spinner) for a new SSD, so I had to go through the process again. I ran into a few different issues this time around that are worth putting to paper. Windows 10 Install… Continue reading Hackintosh – Windows 11 Edition
What’s in a home lab?
A colleague asked today about my home lab configuration, and I came to the realization that I have never published a good inventory of the different software and hardware that I run as part of my home lab / home automation setup.

SonarCloud has become my Frank’s Red Hot…
… I put that $h!t on everything! A lot has been made in recent weeks about open source and its effects on all that we do in software. And while we all debate the ethics of Hashicorp’s decision to turn to a “more closed” licensing model and question the subsequent fork of their open source… Continue reading SonarCloud has become my Frank’s Red Hot…
Taking my MagicMirror modules to Typescript
It came as a bit of a shock that I have been running MagicMirror in my home office for almost two years now. I even wrote two modules, one to display Prometheus alerts and one to show Status Page status. In the past few years I have started to become more and more comfortable with… Continue reading Taking my MagicMirror modules to Typescript
Tech Tip – You should probably lock that up…
I have been running in to some odd issues with ArgoCD not updating some of my charts, despite the Git repository having an updated chart version. As it turns out, my configuration and lack of Chart.lock files seems to have been contributing to this inconsistency. My GitOps Setup I have a few repositories that I… Continue reading Tech Tip – You should probably lock that up…
Rollback saved my blog!
As I was upgrading WordPress from 6.2.2 to 6.3.0, I ran into a spot of trouble. Thankfully, ArgoCD rollback was there to save me. It’s a minor upgrade… I use the Bitnami WordPress chart as the template source for Argo to deploy my blog to one of my Kubernetes clusters. Usually, an upgrade is literally… Continue reading Rollback saved my blog!
