Can a 2001 Sun SPARC server host a website in 2026?

Spoiler: Yes. Yes it can. 🔥

I got my Sun Netra X1 running OpenBSD + httpd serving actual web traffic.

Bart and I had a nice conversation about how I got into Kubernetes despite not working in the field, and despite not running anything that needs to scale for Black Friday.

Working on some #homelab stuff.

I'm looking for a reliable #dyndns provider so I can move some of my web stuff to my #homelab.

I'm also looking for an affordable but reliable #UPS.

Anyone on here have recommendations?

What's your self-hosting platform of choice? Proxmox? Unraid? TrueNAS? Something else?

Kids content for media server

Hi #homelab enthusiasts,

I’m looking to create an ad free experience for toddlers with a home media server. Setting up the media server is the easier part for me. What I’m struggling with is how do you legally collect quality content for the media server. Most newer entertainment is not even available on DVD. Looking for free or paid quality content for media server. Thank you.

Ugh. Out of power outlets near my router. And the outlet is behind furniture.

Ok, dinner first. Then figure that out.

I really need to move my router to a better location, and then maybe get mesh Wifi around the house. That's a problem for another day though.

Time to get this Home Lab project underway.

I'm pleased to say I've been able to write a Tutorial series on how to get a quick-and-dirty implementation of Client Certificate Authentication using PFSense and HAProxy!

I've spent some time on learning if an LLM can produce Ansible playbooks for automating *basic* VM creation for the European cloud provider Scaleway: it can't.

The inference keeps mixing current and outdated information, and mixes in fixes for non-matching scenarios: AI slop.

It worked very well for what's common with American companies, like AWS, in the basic Ansible provisioning use-case.

One must read the docs and learn IT by doing it like the pros. It's an art.

Just managed to get my first Client SSL authentication working with PFSense and HAProxy!

Getting to understand the ACL ordering was my biggest hurdle, but I can now reject access to my internal apps from the wider internet unless theyre using a client certificate. There's even a bypass for internal IP addresses so I don't need to resort to split-brained DNS!
