  Kiddo is taking a class wherein they learn how to program in a visual block language that spits out #Arduino flavored c++. They load it onto their Arduino nano and then, eg, make a rainbow on some RGB LEDs. I had the distinct privilege tonight of walking kiddo through the #esphome config that controls the LED annunciator in our kitchen and watching them draw parallels to their code from class. They even started talking, unprompted, about how they debugged their program in class. I am extremel...

  Reminder that SeerXNG is a thing and is remarkably easy to install. The tricky part is making it the default search engine in iOS and macOS. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/

  Good morning.

  Power outage popped another old GE/Jasco zwave+ outlet. The relay started flipping on and off repeatedly. I thought we had a roof leak for a bit until we found the culprit. They're just so fragile! Had a replacement in the drawer so back in business in less than 10 minutes, which is honestly a nice feeling. #homeassistant #diy

  Upgrading kernels for copy.fail seems to have turbofucked ... everything? GPU passthrough stopped working. Tailscale refuses to connect at boot, I have to go restart the daemon and bounce the connection. #homelab

  RustFS, a distributed object storage system written by LLMs, but in rust so it's fine everything is fine, hardcoded a fully privileged API token, apparently from Alpha.13 through Alpha.77. If you're running any of those versions, probably you want to upgrade asap. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-68926 #rustfs #selfhosted #selfhosting #homelab

  Not me significantly glancing at my #selfhosted #forgego again. I should actually calculate the 9s on that thing so I can say with confidence that it has better uptime than GitHub.

  Tonight's @homelab adventure has been converting one weird bespoke thing to another weird bespoke thing. I have a handful of docker services that I want to be able to connect to remotely but I don't want to expose their ports to every interface. Previously, I was pushing the node's tailnet ip into a TAILNET_IP env var and then publishing the port like this: - ${TAILNET_IP}:9100:9100 That kind of sucks, though, because it means the service is dependent on tailscale to s...

  The problem with only having time to work on #homelab stuff in the evening is that I'd rather just read a book.

  Last night instead of going to bed I forgot about daylight saving time and added a statically defined #ipv6 #wireguard mesh between my #homelab servers. Now I can use that instead of #tailscale for the secure data plane. Tailscale is great and I'll probably keep it for the management plane. The way it aggressively idles connections combined with the first packet seemingly always hitting a DERP server makes stuff feel a lot slower than it should. #selfhosted @homelab
