I self-host a number of things that I've cobbled together in similar fashion for my kids. A while ago I had a bunch of minecraft servers running, when the kids were more into minecraft. There's Vaultwarden, a musescore downloade

I have a separate VLAN for things like security cameras with perhaps-dodgy firmware, and a firewall rule that drops connections that devices on that VLAN try to establish. They have no business connecting anywhere, when I want to see what

Oddly enough if you enable it as a "quick action", when you run it, Finder creates a file in the same directory as the image containing the OCRed text (and named according to the first line of OCRed text). I went back into my shor

Does that one have a name? I’m a MacOS transplant and have never gotten terribly familiar with the territory. Thanks!

Interesting; in a past life my school actually used AFS and had competent admins for it, and the experience was good (although I stayed very much “on the beaten path”). It seems like a bit more of a lift to go with Kerberos than even using

Most of mine don’t, but I do have a couple that require it. For those I use SMB and squash all users to a “smb_users” users that I created in the NAS for this purpose While I was writing the comment, I had in the back of my mind, “do I ac

tensile-kube seems to be structured as a "k8s cluster of k8s clusters", with an upper kubemaster farming out resources to lower kubemasters (through virtual-node). I don't know if there's any particular reason to have t

I've seen some people using wireguard for intra-cluster networking so that all their nodes can run pretty much anywhere.

The diagram on https://virtual-kubelet.io/docs/architecture/ makes me wonder whether it's possible to have a k8s cluster where the nodes are all virtual kubelets backed by different cloud providers (and then

I don't know how the secure enclave works in detail but if there is a private key inside it that it uses for attestation / signing, presumably it could also have a certificate signed by an internal Apple provisioning CA infrastruc
