Mike Bell

I’ve decommissioned my remotelab.uk Mastodon server in favour of social.lol, I really like what they’re doing over there and had a similar idea for what I’d like remotelab to be. You can find me at mikebell@social.lol. There’s a new holding site up at https://remotelab.uk now.

For as long as I can remember I’ve hated my body it’s a mess. I used to be quite fit before I started remote working (walking 5 miles a day does that) but it all fell apart and then COVID hit and I just never really recovered.

Lot’s going on in this one, not a lot fixed though! Enjoy. Homelab Specs # In all the the years I’ve been doing this I’m not actually sure I’ve ever put the specs of my machines down. Not because I’m hiding it, I just don’t really know anymore. A lot of the equipment has been gathered over the years and once it’s running I just leave it.

Insert something really interesting about my homelab to make it seem like I spend loads of time on it. Backups # Work continues on building up my backups to a place where I’m really happy with it. Immich is done but needs properly testing. ForgeJo on remotelab.uk is sort of done but needs re-working and testing. My parents proxmox backups aren’t working and I haven’t even bothered to look into why yet - I should do that asap. Talking of Proxmox backups I should look at sending the backup off to Backblaze B2 so at least they’re external as well.

If you follow me on Mastodon you know it as my home server. If you click through to my ForgeJo you know it as my git forge. It’s the host that hosts my private Elk server where the majority of my toots come from. It’s a lot of things but I’ve never really spoken about it or really come to terms with what it is now and in the future.
