It wasn t difficult, but I wanted to document it chown -R /path/to/.\[^.\]\* ## [Docker Log File Usage](https://lab.rapternet.us/?p=5113) _2026-03-09 · admin · Systems Lab_ I ran into some issues with my unraid server recently.

So here I am Continue reading "Bot 2: Pinch Hazard" ## [Kubernetes GPU Sharing: NVIDIA MIG + DRA on Amazon EKS](https://blog.ediri.io/kubernetes-gpu-sharing-nvidia-mig-dra-on-amazon-eks) _2026-02-01 · Engin Diri · \_CLOUD_ GPU scheduling in Kubernetes has always felt like buying a mansion when you need a studio apartment. A small inference workload that needs 2GB of GPU memory gets scheduled on an entire 80GB A100, and there's nothing you can do about it. The device pl... ## [3d Printing in the Smart Home](https://lab.rapternet.us/?p=4074) _2025-08-25 · admin · Systems Lab_ Just trying a new thing here I guess, just a gallery of projects, linking out to the blog posts covering them.

The setup was simple enough with one catch. The server URL had to be the URL to the xmlrpc.php file on the server. This couldn t be just the wiki domain to function. I m not sure if I missed the note in the setup docs, but Continue reading "DokuWiki Android App" ## [Roku Integration ECP Command Not Allowed](https://lab.rapternet.us/?p=4800) _2025-07-28 · admin · Systems Lab_ I noticed that my roku integrations in home assistant weren t functioning.

I printed out a number of the small parts for the mask, though never got to the larger parts of the print, and still had plenty left to do on it. I didn t intend to make it wearable, so that will at least simplify Continue reading "Finishing Old Projects 3 Dishonored (Corvo s) Mask" ## [Crypto Payments, No Custody (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/Gzt1i6OV7Lrj) _2025-07-21 · **Sponsored**_ Send crypto to merchant wallets via API with real-time updates and automatic fees. ## [ESPHome Powered Solder Fume Filtration/Extraction](https://lab.rapternet.us/?p=3821) _2025-07-14 · admin · Systems Lab_ As I ve been doing more soldering and creating air quality sensors, I ve noticed an extreme drop in quality when I m soldering. This doesn t surprise me, but seeing the magnitude of it gives me good reason to work on a small soldering fume extractor and filter. My plan is to use an ESP32 to control PWM Continue reading "ESPHome Powered Solder Fume Filtration/Extraction" ## [Renaming Hostnames in ESPHome](https://lab.rapternet.us/?p=4845) _2025-07-07 · admin · Systems Lab_ I ve been a bit annoyed by the default esphome-web names that many of my devices have. I haven t tried renaming many of them, which seems to be simpler now than when I first renamed a few of them years ago.
