I gave a talk at the 2026 Southeast Symposium on Contemporary Engineering Topics (SSCET) called “Anatomy of an OT Attack.”

I gave a talk at NWA Tech Fest called “Rootless Containers with Podman.”

Somewhere around the end of May, I switched from Firefox to Vivaldi.

This is yet another AI post.

In Part 1, I walked through how I deploy rootless podman containers as systemd user units in my homelab using jinja2 templates.

When I started writing this post, it grew substantially larger than intended.

I first learned about devpod through Bluefin.

When I was working FTE, I would often have blocks of time at work that I could use to study and “sharpen the saw.”

I like to sit and lay on the floor.

I’ve wanted to put together a post about my self hosting and media consumption for a while now.

Yes, yes, AI/LLM bad… anyway: much like the rest of the world, I have been trying to navigate this AI/LLM explosion.

This is a deeply personal post.

I am still running Bluefin and Bazzite on my computers (and loving it).

Today I was tinkering with chiaki-ng and ran into a bug, so I decided to downgrade the package to see when the issue was introduced.

On a recent project, I needed to create a bespoke VM disk image.

It occurred to me the other day that I’ve been on IRC for at least 30 years, and possibly much longer.

When I learned that the ACM was going to drop Pluralsight support, I decided I should finish up some of the courses I was taking.

Several months ago I had a client that was migrating from ESXi to Proxmox.

For a few months I have been having trouble with the guests on one of my Proxmox hosts.

I decided to play with Crystal a bit a couple of weeks ago.

In today’s short and sweet #100DaysToOffload (post 005!)

In my job search, I noticed a ton of listings for Go developers.

Post 003 of #100DaysToOffload I think that this topic has been covered by a lot of more visible people already.

I saw this post by way of @joel@fosstodon.org and replied that I thought it was a fun read.

Post 001 of #100DaysToOffload The first computer I remember having regular access to was a Tandy 1000HX.

I have managed to keep this blog and my Mastodon Account around for longer than I had intended.

Earlier this year, I decided to take the leap and install Bazzite on my Desktop.

“AI BAD!”

I seem to go through cycles with gaming.

Through the years I have been quite hardline with my usage of technolgy.

I have been frequenting a gas station a couple blocks from my house to get the occasional decaf coffee in the evenings when I’ve cut my caffeine stream off.

There’s plenty of posts out there describing professional burnout and open source burnout.

A brief but fun post from my ancient altbit.org blog back on July 7th, 2007.

Back in 1997 I picked up a copy of the first Diablo game.

Back in the early 2000s, I owned an NEC MobilePro 770 and managed to get NetBSD running on it.

Early in my time with computers, I relied heavily on vi because it was what was on the system and the manual told me to use it.

Many years ago I was severely burdened with work and organizational stress.

Inspired by WeblogPoMo2024 (https://weblog.anniegreens.lol/weblog-posting-month-2024), I’ve decided to try to blog again.
