Error 404: Braincells Not Found (But Welcome Anyway!)

Here you find a little bit of everything from someone trying to be a jack-of-all-trades in the IT business. If you want to know more about me, you can check out my about page. Code compiles (sometimes), bugs become features (maybe), and the bug-fixing sessions often require a moment of quiet contemplation (or screaming to the rubber ducky, because sometimes I'm just an idiot sandwich). I mess around with everything from 3D-printing gadgets to making XCOM mods so my soldiers actually hit their shots (because when the game says 95% hit chance, it really means 50/50, and you need every advantage when RNGesus hates you).

Feeling like your code is just one big if/else statement? Or that your Civilization game is just one more turn away from total domination? Then you've come to the right place. No anime spoilers, promise... unless it's about how to debug your waifu simulator.

And yes, if you wonder why things are a bit... strange... here, it's probably just the homelab hell striking again. My days are often spent in a glorious battle, trying to wrestle with CI/CD pipelines until they deploy something useful. I also try convincing Proxmox that virtual machines do need to stay online, and wrestling with ZFS to keep my data from staging a rebellion because who needs data integrity when you have fun?

Then there's the never-ending saga of Docker containers and Kubernetes pods, each with its own unique way of testing my patience. Beyond the servers, I'm also trying to master the dark arts of IPTV, manage a small army of 30 access points, and pray that the radio link for my parents' fiber connection (which serves their business in the middle of Dovrefjell, no less(!)) doesn't decide to take a holiday.

And let's not forget the constant stream of data from InfluxDB and Telegraf, now with added madness from Home Assistant trying to make sense of my Tibber power consumption, telling me exactly how much power I'm wasting, all while trying to automate my life, only to spend more time automating the automation. It's a wonder anything works at all, but hey, it's fun to stare at a red screen of compilation errors, right?

Get out, demon of stupidity! My daily fight against bugs and bad code.
