Hey everybody. I found this interesting. It's likely not a game changer for anyone, but "hardware" watchdogs in Proxmox was a new one for me, and was a cheap and easy, hacky fix to deal with a low value VM that was periodically hanging. This is a nice tool to add to the belt, hope you all enjoy!

Don't rely on Oracle, but definitely do leverage as much of their free compute as you can for non-critical workloads!

This one is a little self-hosting specific, and more casual Linux best practices, but I've got a new blog post down for general security! Harden your systemd units (especially custom ones) for better peace of mind on the internet!

This is a generic metrics post to leverage a spare ESP32 meshtastic node to ingest metrics into Grafana! We've had some congestion issues due to poor config in my area, and this has helped me pinpoint which nodes are causing the biggest problems, and block them at my repeater.

I got into this hobby through my career in cybersecurity, and decided to write up a little post about a tool I frequently use, mitmproxy!

If you've followed any of my self-hosted headscale with Podman series, I wrote up another "bonus" post talking about OIDC configuration with Authelia. Took some trial and error, so I figured I'd document it in the public notebook.

Another post in the records for the tech blog, this time all about opensource network monitoring with LibreNMS!

This one is the good one (albeit less technical) where we get the eye candy after getting the log ingestion pipeline already setup in part 1.

My first blog series on headscale with traefik through podman quadlets was pretty well received on here. I'm just getting started with this blog, and thought the second topic I recently worked on might be popular in this crowd too: a lower resource method of centralizing logs for OPNSense with Grafana Loki (and Alloy) including geoIP!

https://roguesecurity.dev/blog/opnsense-lokiOpen linkView original on infosec.pubAbout a month ago I switched from Google Fi to Mint Mobile. I figured since they were both T-Mobile MVNOs the service would the same, and it was a way for me to move away from the Google Fi app requirement, and this the play services requirement on my graphene pixel 8 pro. Everything initially seemed to be working great, then I realized I only ever have LTE. I've tried all the APN settings, auto discovered, manually configured in accordance with the mint documentation, and the T-Mobile APN. They all give me good service, but only ever LTE. Previously on both T-Mobile and Fi, on the same cell towers, I had 5g, so I know it's not a service issue. Mint support is the worst thing I've ever encountered in my life and they're useless as far as troubleshooting. Notably, the other phone on the plan is a stock pixel 7 pro and has the same issue, so I think it's a provisioning issue not a graphene issue, but I figured I'd ask the crowd here because of the general level of aptitude.
