There's a correct way to add ActivityPub to Ghost: buy Ghost from Ghost. This is a field report on the other way — six native Ghost blogs on NetBSD, behind Apache and Cloudflare, federated by hand across a hostile NAT, with exactly one self-inflicted 503 along the way.

blackdevice, a Spanish hardware engineering company and Raspberry Pi Design Partner, has shared details of Hive, a modular compute platform built around the Raspberry Pi CM5. The platform is designed to scale from small homelab installations to rack-mounted infrastructure deployments through interchangeable compute nodes called “beenodes”. According to the company, each beenode integrates a…

On May 22 2026, I'm proud to announce that our API service that provides free flight tracking data to TRMNL users has hit 100 installations.

This was our first major implementation of a backend written in TypeScript with a form of OAuth implementation, that is actively providing a

i started this project on a laptop with plex, went to my old PC and some old work PC’s, but they were too crappy to do alot with.

but now i am finally confident enough to say this homeserver is stable. it’s been running for 2 1/2 months now without any downtime and it runs everything i need! (i might also add a MC server someday idk)

I don’t want to be “spammy” but I’d like to post my project here to. I’ve posted it already in another community, and I’m just trying to get some feedback so I can make a decision on what direction this project should take.

What is this? Vigil is a lightweight, self-hosted dashboard that watches your Docker images and tells you when updates…

I type one sentence, and a fully configured VM appeared on my network — with DNS on two servers, a git commit in the inventory, and Docker, qemu-guest-agent installed, Timezone and SSH keys configured, and OS updated — in about 10 minutes. All while I get to make another cup of coffee.

Recently, I decided to just send it and upgrade from my Prusa MK3S+ to a Bambu Lab P2S. Yes, I'm aware of the cloud controversy and security implications and etc. (losing Octoprint support also sucked), but seeing the output quality of the printer at basically half the price

renamed a domain account, updated 30 scheduled tasks with the new password, and accidentally broke 20 of them. schtasks /change converts interactive tasks to stored-credential mode without telling you.

discord feeds hadn't posted in 5 days. the health check that should have caught it passed silently. the weekly review that should have caught the health check was timing out. a cascading failure in three acts.

MultiMonitorTool broke on Windows 11 24H2. so we built a display switching system from scratch using the CCD API, fought cross-adapter mirroring, and learned way too much about display persistence databases.

we built an openclaw extension for native SSH and published it. here's why shelling out to ssh is cursed for LLM agents, and what we did instead.

Bitwarden's SSH agent freezes under load. Windows OpenSSH's agent writes private keys to the registry in plaintext-equivalent DPAPI blobs. no standalone memory-only agent exists for Windows. so we built ephemeral-agent in Go.

load average 30, 96MB free RAM, 1.3GB in swap. the UniFi gateway was swap-thrashing so hard it couldn't serve its own web console.

me fanboying over my infra for a bit

Sharing my adventures with Proxmox (as promised)

a windows server's task scheduler silently died months ago. we didn't find out until march 2026. the root cause? RAM corruption from late 2024.

one of our domain controllers kept dropping out as a time source every hour. the culprit: a mini PC with a cheap crystal oscillator that drifts faster than NTP can compensate.

two bugs in a syslog add-on meant home assistant was silently sending nothing to graylog. both bugs were invisible.

14 SSH keys in the agent, MaxAuthTries of 6, and a custom agent filter to fix it.

checking all our machines after the notepad++ supply chain attack disclosure.

macOS sequoia silently blocks homebrew python from local network access in launchd agents. system python works fine.

a discord bot couldn't download youtube clips. the error said 'no javascript runtime.' it was running in docker without node.

getting ansible to manage windows workstations. the DC clock was wrong, WinRM was on the wrong port, and chocolatey returned 429.

reinstalling a VM with server 2025, then spending 3 hours making the scheduled task actually start.

tried to join the mac to active directory. discovered the entire domain's time is wrong. kerberos does not approve.

migrating from a WSL instance on a windows desktop to my own mac mini. nyan gets a real home.

giving home assistant a catgirl brain — from webhook to spoken word.
