The only appropriate label for my self-installing Linux boot drive that wipes everything, installs Linux, and adds my ssh keys all without touching a key.

Local models on my own hardware are getting better, and I want to use them before sending everything to a frontier model. NVIDIA Switchyard and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning are helping me do this.

Helping my sister with her router and access point. I now have to refer to them as trash can looking thing and the circle thing so she knows which I am talking about 😂
I now have a Spark server that builds and tests my vLLM Docker image in CI against real models.
This will be the first and last time this Spark touches grass.

After a long hiatus, I finally had some time to put into my k3s-ansible repo that helps you bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster in minutes.
One of the biggest things holding me back from updating it was being able to run k3s cluster tests in CI. Well, I finally have that working again and I can merge in confidence!
k3s_version: v1.36.2+k3s1
kube_vip_tag_version: v1.2.2
metal_lb_speaker_tag_version: v0.16.0
metal_lb_controller_tag_version: v0.16.0
calico_tag: v3.32.1
cilium_tag: v1.20.0
cilium_cli_tag: v0.19.7

I tested a bunch of 10-inch mini-rack accessories, including cooling, power, displays, a network KVM, and even a compact UPS.

I no longer only play a network engineer on YouTube.
I helped transform a local nonprofit's network from this mess into something clean, documented, and maintainable.
Homelab skills absolutely transfer.
If you're running an NVIDIA Spark or any of the clones with a GB10 (ASUS, Lenovo, Dell, HP, MSI, Gigabyte, etc) for local AI. I built a Docker image for it with the latest VLLM and all its component so that you don't have to.
No need to wait weeks for NVIDIA to do it.

Just racked up the UDM BEAST. With (10) 10G links and (2) 25G aggregated to my switch, it’s pretty OP.
