I just took the self-hosting survey 2026 and got graded on my hobby – and it was as bad as I feared.

A few years ago I won (!)

After implementing support for light/dark themed MermaidJS graphs in my CI engine of choice, I was pretty happy with the solution.

I was experimenting with the buildah plugin for Woodpecker CI and had a hard time figuring out how to inject my local certificate authority into the mix…until I realized I had missed something fundamental about Woodpecker CI.

I am experimenting with rabbitmq-operator & message-topology-operator in my homelab, and quickly ran into a problem – both of these operators are trying to create the same namespace, which kustomize doesn’t like.

In this entry I will document (for myself) how to setup a reasonably secure git credential management for WSL in Windows.

After discovering diskless mode in Alpine Linux, I wanted to use it everywhere!

Most container aware people are probably familiar with Alpine Linux, as it is commonly used as a container base – but few are familiar with using it as a full Linux distribution.

This post will outline how I setup an Ansible playbook to manage a Incus container on a remote host.

I decided to add a search function to this blog, but this time I had to accept some browser side JavaScript for it to function.

Making my graphs respect the user system light- and darkmode settings was surprisingly straight-forward, and we are still not using any (browser side) JavaScript to accomplish this!
