  #BalerionTheDread wanted to go outside. So I opened the door. But kept the screen door closed. He didn't think I was nearly as funny as I did. #CatsOfMastodon

  I'd say our camping trip is going well. #OregonCoast #MeraxesTheMenacing #Dachshund #DogsOfMastodon

  Time to head back home. I love the #OregonCoast. It was a fun 3 day weekend. It was cold, but sunny. I didn't even realize today was a holiday.

  Here's today's asshole #Seattle driver of the day.

  I don't like scary things, but my wife does, and it's almost Halloween. So we watched the #DoctorWho episode, Blink. She didn't think it was scary. I haven't been able to be near a statue in like 20 years.

  Yay. #MeraxesTheMenacing is starting to learn a new command. "Lykirī" means "be calm/quiet". I've been trying to teach this to him for years, and he's simply decided to not understand, but with the help of some high value treats, he started to get it. I hope it sticks. #HighValyrian #DogsOfMastodon #Dachschund

  Hmm. For some reason, one of my #hawser agents stopped connecting to #dockhand. I've tried reinstalling it multiple times. I've confirmed the settings and the token. Still no luck. No idea what I'm doing wrong. The other agents work fine. #selfhosting #sysadmin #docker

  I'm an idiot. Someone mentioned #Duplistatus which allows you to monitor your #Duplicati backups. Seems like a cool idea. So I'm going through the config and set allowed IPs. I added the various servers. Forgot to include the device I'm using to access Duplistatus... and now I can't connect. D'oh. #sysadmin #selfhosting

  If I have a #docker container on vlan 1, and I want to reach it from vlan 2, you'd think I just need to open the docker container's port on the firewall. But that doesn't work. I've tried adding the rule on both vlan 1 and vlan 2. I wonder if there's something weird with #pfSense. I also tried NAT rules. What's weird is it used to be able to connect. But then stopped randomly. Maybe the latest #Ubuntu broke something.

  Noooooo. Sir Patrick Stewart died.

  Yaarrrr. Happy #InternationalTalkLikeAPirate day to all ye landlubbers. Yesterday, I was telling a coworker about it, and she asked how I could possibly know that. I was like, "how do you NOT?"

  Yay. I got a cheap wand style metal detector and was able to find my wife's ring. Well worth the $30. Now I need to superglue the rings on her finger.

  Dog's Diary - August 10, 2026 It has been nearly a week since father has taken me on the longest pee break ever. While I do enjoy owning trees in multiple states, he insists on treating me like an animal and forcing me to live off of this swill. It seems no matter how lovingly I look at him or how good my sit is, he refuses to give me filet mignon. I'd even suffer through some pulled pork. But no. I must subsist on wet dog food. It is clear that father no longer loves me. My only opti...

  I seriously hate bike and scooter riders in #Seattle. They're all assholes. They left them by the traffic circle, this time.

  Oh my gawd. Upgrading #Immich from 2 to 3 in #docker via #Dockhand is an absolute fucking nightmare. The main problem is that Dockhand stores compose files within the Dockhand container itself. But you can also have it manage stacks you made elsewhere, like with #Portainer. Unless you delete portainer, which also deleted the compose files. Then your stacks are in this limbo state where everything works, but you can't edit anything. I tried to create a new local compose file and load it i...

  I think the cat walked across my face at some point last night. It could have been a dream, though.

  I met a new puppy friend, yesterday, named Charlie. He was a very good boy. He ran up to me and instantly rolled over to get belly rubs. And then I asked if I could give him treats and as soon as I said that word, he did a good sit.

  You know how Dear Leader loves to put his name on everything? I think it would be hilarious if, after he's out of power and in prison, progressives named every progressive act after him. A constitutional amendment granting trans people equal rights. The Donald Trump Trans Act. Granting citizenship to anyone who asks for it who doesn't have a criminal background. The Donald Trump Immigration Act. Burning Stephen Miller at the stake on TV. The Donald Trump Anti Hate Crime Act.

  I decided to run updates. It turns out, #Proxmox had like 60+ updates. Clearly, I need to do this more often. #selfhosting #homelab
