Yet another site
Over the weekend I decided to revisit bcache, Linux’s block-layer cache system, to try and squeeze more performance out of a large spinning disk by caching it with a small SSD. The concept is simple: attach a fast SSD (in this case, a 256?GB NVMe drive) in front of a slower HDD, and let bcache [ ]
It s time for the 4 year update? I recently got a lot of very good feedback on the iptables tutorial by Ed Drouillard. It s been laying dormant for a long time, but the feedback kind of got me reminiscing about writing tech documentation etc, and I decided to get some work done on the old [ ]
A really long time ago I was writing up something about sparse files to show how they can be used for automatically growing file systems. Unfortunately I never got very far but figured it s one of those things I m still really happy to play around with, so I might as well try to finish this [ ]
Recently I ve been frustrated at work while using Gitlab and Jenkins for various reasons, some of the integrations are really fragile due to some plugins we use, both Jenkins and Gitlab are incredibly bloated and use insane amounts of resources and they are simply not reasonable choices for a private setup. Also I recently replaced [ ]
Long time again, I seem to be bad at updating this site at times. I ve recently moved into DevOps as a coincidence. I feel like this is what I ve done for ages, but I just never set a name on it really. Also, this time it s proper DevOps I d say, a team of people maintaining [ ]
Due to being away for the duration of last week, I missed the renewal of the SSL certificate. This should be fixed now as I ve moved to letsencrypt using certbot for autorenewal.

It s been a while since I looked at the iptables-tutorial to say the least. The last real commits where 9 years ago and the last proper release is closer to 13 years ago . The last two three days I kind of picked it up again, for fun mostly. In the end of my maintenance of [ ]
A co-worker of mine asked me to do a writeup of my retropie table build and yes, I guess I should. I rarely write anything about what I do anymore 🙂 . So, I got kids, and I thought it would be fun for them to play some of the old stuff I used to [ ]
One of those days when replacing 2 routers being used as switches should be so simple bit turn out so complicated. I completely forgot I m using one of them as a firewall between a dmz and the rest of the network. Figured I d just switch the IP on the comhem router and it would work [ ]
I went to FOSDEM 2016 this year with 8 other colleagues of mine and had a really really good time. A lot of good speeches and stuff to talk about and I feel very motivated for some new projects. Some of the stuff going on right now is incredibly exciting, especially with regards to containerization [ ]
