October 16 2023 | Tell Me Again How snapd Is Not A Dud

For a while, the recommended way to run 'lxc/lxd' is by installing and managing it via 'snaps'. Okay, how hard can it be, right? For half a year, my new fresh homelab is running this way.

Mar 3 2023 | The Whole is Greater

The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of the Parts.

When there are multiple small, reasonable requests, the sum of those become unreasonable.

Writing an end year review of my own performance is reasonable. So is writing one for my colleague. So is writing one for my manager. And writing a proposal of the promotion of a colleague. And so is writing OKRs for next quarter.

Adding them up they become unreasonable.

Perhaps not for you! Perhaps this is still very reasonable and doable for you. However: I am not you.

Mar 3 2023 | It is the Team, stupid!

Scrum, Agile, Lean, Waterfall. All will fail if there is no team. And there is no team, when there is no trust. No bond. No history.

Feb 22 2023 - ServerSide Includes

This site is mostly built using Server Side Includes. I don't plan on spending too much time on this. And just want something that works. And loads fast.

Feb 22 2023 | Migrating To New Server, Part 4

I still need to fix ssl certs for the gitlab registry. *grin* LXD/LXC is kinda working. A pox on snapd though. Making things more complicated than it needs to be.
