I have just cut over to a pre-built caddy docker image that includes the cloudflare plugin, so I don't have to build my own image. Seems to be working fine! Now my What's Up Docker container will be able to alert me when my caddy is out of date. #homelab #caddy #docker #cloudflare

I am pleased to report the turkish delight rocky road ice cream was fucking stellar. Onto a winner here.

I don't mean to brag, but I just filled up the olive oil bottle without overfilling it and pouring oil all over the bench. #winning

Today I'm making another batch of rocky road ice cream. This time with the gummy bears swapped for Turkish delight. My extensive testing revealed that Turkish delight is softer when frozen as compared to gummy bears. I'm also including dark chocolate, coconut and marshmallows. Family pressure means I have to add the crushed peanuts afterwards. The base is a custard made from 2 cups cream, 1 cup milk, ¾ cup sugar, 4 egg yolks, 1 tbsp vanilla essence, sous vide at 80°C. Perfect every time.

After retiring my old desktop into a home server role, migrating everything off my old server to the new server, and adding one extra CCTV camera, the house night-time idle power usage went from 220W to 240W. Not as bad as I'd feared, considering the new home server has an RTX2080 in it for video processing. #homelab

Remember that 32GB of DDR5 RAM I bought for my new computer a month ago? Remember how it went up AUD$130 during the week between when I ordered it and when the retailer cancelled my order and tried to charge me for the new price? It's now increased ANOTHER AUD$130. Insane. 55% price increase in a month.

The look of wonder on a child's face when I adjust a game's graphical settings on their aging laptop to make it run at a playable framerate. In that brief moment I AM a computer wizard.

Huzzah! It has finally started to rain in #carina. Phew.

I switched our energy retailer from Amber Electric to Localvolts, and I've started to play with their pricing API. Fun stuff! I recorded a quick video showing some interesting subtleties in how pricing is different between the AEMO wholesale price, amber and localvolts. Let me know if you have any questions, and I can make a follow-up video. As always: This is a solo mastodon instance, so boosts = ❤️ #solar #battery #renewable #australia #amberelectric #localvolts

Time for some last-minute #pottery firing. Gotta get a christmas present ready for grandma.
