Today I fully automated my homelab with proxmox, Talos and Ansible and integrated the new cluster into my fluxCI AND I built the blueprint for an automated VMWare to proxmox migration demo (also using Ansible) for my client by accident. Includes documentation, simple tests and it's actually all idempotent. I had a previous setup that I wasn't really happy with because it was messy mix of my IaaS code that I then vibe coded upon. Just didn't behave coherently. Moved my Kubernetes workloads back to my arch desktop for now and will migrate back some time tomorrow. Still lots do to. Will also have to dig deeper into what proxmox can offer besides VMs, live migrations and ceph cluster support. Finished all that in about 5h, thanks to the speed provided by grok-coder-fast-1. I wasted 1h in the beginning because my instructions just weren't that good. Great experience in total though. This way of working definitely sharpens the way you communicate your ideas and goals. Every senior engineer should try this some time, especially if they're often helping out coaching juniors. Thanks Cline for the free trial! It would've taken days to craft this by hand. I also hate writing YAML by hand.

One thing I've learned to love while vibe coding: Instruct your agent to stop after 2-3 attempts of fixing an issue to prevent loops and let it execute a cli command like say on macOS like this: > $ say "ALERT: i am stuck please help" You can just slack around, do the dishes or read without wasting time, sats and context length.

Even Mossad doesn't test their backups.

I think I've seen like 5 women joining nostr in the last few days and none of them looked like a dude in a dress. Never change, nostr. 🌞

Ansible really hasn't changed all that much since 2016. It’s still brittle, verbose and ugly at its core.

RIP Europe

Testing out Cline's free xAI grok-code-fast model for the week. It's incredibly fast. At least 5-10x faster than Kimi K2 which I've been using over the last few weeks for its low price. Impressive. Needs a bit more handholding through complex tasks though, from what I gathered thus far.

Say hello to Grok Code Fast – or as you've known it, Sonic.

GM It's a v60 day. It was the only method that produced somewhat acceptable results for a new coffee bean I got. It's way too sweet and tastes a bit like bubblegum. Tried multiple approaches with the Aeropress but it always tasted like molten Hubba Bubba, if you know that stuff. I think I'll donate the remaining beans to someone at the cafe later today. 🫠 Unless anyone is interested in an exchange program where we send each other coffee we don't like ourselves. 🌚 #coffeestr #coffeecircle

You should tell people though. View quoted note →

Water vapor.

@Vinterkarusell Düsseldorf? 🫣 Care for a coffee some time, lol?
