June/July update on my Homelab

The aim of this post is to try and explain what it’s like living with ME/CFS. I can’t quite remember where the idea of spoons as a unit of energy came from, I think it might have been from my friend Gem, so I’m blaming/crediting them.

I spend all my online life in tech (I started setting up devenv.sh while I had covid ffs) so decided to branch out and find other things to read that are interesting but NOT tech related (maybe).

Here’s a very quick update on my homelab.

Back in 2023 I had the worst 24 hours for a long time. It feels weird writing about this since when I look back it’s just so completely insane that everything happened like it did. I’m trying to be as eloquent as possible but it’s hard for reasons you’ll read.

Spotifys quality sucks, it’s UX is horrible and it pays it’s artists pretty much sod all so it’s time to move away and build my own cloud music service. It’s a lot easier than it sounds!

I’m going to attempt to document my journey migrating from my current homelab setup to kubernetes. I can’t promise when these posts will come as I’m finding I have less time and energy outside of work to do these things but here goes!

I’ve had my personal AWS setup for 10 years now and it’s time that it got organised. I’ve made previous attempts at this using Terraformer but it’s output wasn’t structure enough for my liking.
