A practical OpenClaw update checklist for my homelab: snapshot the VM first, review the release, upgrade, restart the gateway, verify the running version, then smoke test the assistant runtime.
A vulnerability scanner launched 38,000 requests in 30 minutes and took down my Archy.net Ghost blog. Here's how I built a native fail2ban with HAProxy stick-tables. No external daemons, no log parsing, just real-time protection.
103 GiB of client data. Dropbox Advanced at €650/year. It was time to take back control. Here's what happened when I migrated to self-hosted Seafile.
How I migrated 28 services from Docker Swarm to Talos Linux Kubernetes in 2 days with zero downtime. Cilium CNI, MetalLB BGP, Flux GitOps, and all the things that went wrong along the way.
From cutting cost-heavy Citrix nets to mastering BGP Anycast, my HAProxy journey shows how resilience, security, and automation evolve.
How I got true active-active HAProxy load balancing using BGP anycast on a UniFi UDM Pro Max. No expensive routers needed.
Replacing manual SSH configuration with HAProxy Data Plane API: how I automated load balancer management across an HA cluster using REST APIs and Ansible AWX.
Learn how PatchMon and Ansible AWX work together to create a complete patch management solution with visibility and automation - managing 21 servers with 95% less effort.
