I've taken two pictures of my #homelab before we move back to NYC from Seattle.

YAYYY! 802.11a Wi-Fi in a healthcare clinic like it's 2003.

Was 11a in '22 and still 11a in '24.

No wonder why my self-hosted email has been going to Gmail spam: https://www.mailgun.com/blog/deliverability/gmail-and-yahoo-inbox-updates-2024/

Fortunately for me, it was an easy fix. I just re-added DKIM and DMARC. I abandoned both in the past due to issues, but now they're required.

Also, my muscle memory test email doesn't get through spam filters anymore, so I had ChatGPT to write one for me.

So no, self-hosted email is still alive and kicking in 2024!

I just realized I was skimpy on thermal paste when I upgraded my HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen11 server CPU to an Xeon 5412U (from a 4410Y). #homelab #homelabadvice #sysadmin #sysadminlife

Before and after:

This (pre-)Christmas, I've lighted up four @torproject bridges.

I hate Premera/Blue Cross Blue Shield with a passion. They're worse than Comcast and even FTX.

First they denied one med where I needed to go to a compounding pharmacy, and now they delay another medication I was on for YEARS out of the blue.

We needed #medicare4all like yesterday. Heck, I'll deal with high Canadian telecom prices before US healthcare any day.

If you were ever struggling with single-threaded PPPoE in #OPNsense, #pfSense, or #FreeBSD, there is one unique solution: virtualizing your #homelab router inside a hypervisor and using a bridge for the PPPoE WAN.

Probably very obvious to everyone here, but if you're wondering why I'm not on twitter (anymore), see: https://www.neelc.org/posts/twitter-statement/

after being behind no-profile-image, i built my own profile image in inkscape.

it's (sadly) simple colors, well since i'm not a designer or artist.

i just want ipv4 to die
