My main.go file is now nearly 2000 lines of code... things are getting serious here!

I think as boring as it is, I need to split this out into smaller packages....

Well that wasn’t expected. It started as a stride / speed session which would have been around 6km. Then we grabbed a PB with a bit more.

Thanks to @veeam I just got access to Linkedin Learning

What are some of the good courses and content to get into?

Anyone here got their own courses on that I should watch?

Had a great day out yesterday at the home of Rugby.

My local team made it to their final and got to play there yesterday. Despite the final result they have ticked a box that not many get to do.

Jealous and proud of the Stamford Town Rugby lads and whole club for showing up

Current Status: Manually triggering my releases for Kollect.
May 14, 2025 at 5:00 PM
With Kollect, do we add additional platforms? Or do we now concentrate on the depth of each one, which ones are missing from here that would be a good candidate for a cloud inventory tool

(the kollect folder is the og and is for Kubernetes cluster inventory)

Busy evening here on my pet project, just a little Cloud Inventory tool that gathers your Kubernetes, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and now Terraform state file (with some more work on the latter.)

I went to a car boot yesterday and decked out my crocs…. Never to be seen in actual public but fine for social media.

Just need some more tech related charms.

Got into the home lab a little more this evening. This time focusing on KubeVirt and deployment via ArgoCD using the app of app methodology.

Next up we need to clone some PVCs and create some VMs.

Thanks to Sidero Labs and Justin Garrison for this little home lab goodie...

Perfect for accessing my Windows machine and was even able to mount on my desk

I feel like a laggard here, having only just found dark mode on Linkedin

Home Labbing, What services am I missing?

Next session at Data On Kubernetes from the guys at Percona.

Postgres has the Jack of all trades with extensions. I have recently been diving into PGvector

Interested in hearing about Kafka and Strimzi.

Never touched Strimzi, seems like an operator?

#KubeCon

Kicking off my day hearing about CrunchyData operator #KubeCon

Not a great start to the day with the backup NAS in the home lab. I just added 2 x 4TB drives in this as well.
March 31, 2025 at 7:08 AM
Pre tinkering in the home lab complete... now going to get going down to London Town for #KubeCon

Sometimes #!/bin/bash is all you need to get a simple job done

Download a load of Operating System ISOs into my vSphere content library...

I am using Heimdall as my #Homelab dashboard, are you using something different?
February 24, 2025 at 9:48 AM
Homelab update:

6/6 drives to complete the NAS upgrade it’s not the overwhelming TBs you see from some in their homelab but for me this is VM based storage only.

RAID5 = 5TB useable will be plenty. Now to move everything back from the backup NAS and build some more.
February 23, 2025 at 9:48 AM
What else should I add to the home lab services?
February 22, 2025 at 4:41 PM
Started some playing in the home lab
