Do you floss your teeth? # Yes, every 2 or weeks I’ll floss my teeth. I’m trying to be a lot better about teeth care. It’s cost me enough already!

I’m by no means the best at reviewing things, I don’t really do it but figured this might be a fun thing to try. So why not pick probably one of the hardest and most subjective areas to tackle - audio!

Oh wow how things change in a month! I now have 3.5 homelabs, It’s an odd number but hear me out: OG Proxmox Server Parents Proxmox Server Mediaserver (I don’t classify this as a full lab) New Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Kubernetes Cluster Migration to Kubernetes # For a while now I’ve wanted my own cluster, I’ve even built a few in Proxmox but none of them have ever stuck around long enough for me to really grow attached to them. For those that don’t know what I do for my day job I manage a k8s cluster with around a 1000 namespaces it’s quite challenging! The problem is I don’t use k8s, I can talk for hours on how our cluster is built and how all the components fit together but I can count on one hand the amount of time I’ve actually deployed any applications to it. I have a hole in my knowledge when it comes to actually using k8s as an end user. Building a physical cluster and migrating my existing apps over to it should hopefully cover that.

I learnt very quickly there is no grace period cancelling your google workspace account, you get charged for the few days into your current period and then booted out. It’s a good thing.

This is going to be a series on how I plan on de googling my life. It’s not going to be easy but it’s becoming more and more necessary to get away from Google for my online services.
