Hi. I'm jon.404, a Unix/Linux/Database/Openstack/Kubernetes Administrator, AWS/GCP/Azure Engineer, mathematics enthusiast, and amateur philosopher. This is where I rant about that which upsets me, laugh about that which amuses me, and jabber about that which holds my interest most: *nix.

A lot has changed since 2008. I bought a house just before the 2008 collapse, and I started writing to this blog shortly after getting moved in and my office arranged. I posted about my son being born, and having to give up that office to make a nursery for him. The world was a different place in 2008.
My career has gone though some significant changes as well. I started off during college (2005-2007) as an intern developer for a local company doing homeless management information...

I have a few animal breeding projects that my wife and kids are into heavily, and one specific project that's just beginning is Western Hognose Snakes. We have a young male Axanthic Western Hognose that we named Gene (work with me on this, they're pets as well as breeders!). Gene is in a bit of a large enclosure for a snake his size, complete with lots of substrate to rummage around through, live plants, and a few hiding places. He's a super happy snek.

At $DAYJOB, I'm in a position of doing crypto related work again, and while not quite as in depth as the HSM work I did in previous jobs, it's still fun. One of the core components I'm tasked with being an expert on is Hashicorp Vault (which I've used in previous jobs, but I've not been in a position of administration before now). I've learned over the years that if you want to become familiar with a software system quickly, you need to build it on OpenBSD. Why? Because 1) I like OpenBSD (ok,...

There's a bug in the go runtime that prevents etcd from working properly on armv7l devices. Calico and Helm/Tiller don't run on armv7l. And as I mentioned in my last post, Docker images are *really* limited on arm32v7 platforms. Raspbian sadly has not updated to arm64, so I switched the Raspberry Pis over to Debian Buster from here: https://people.debian.org/~gwolf/ras...PREVIEW.img.xz Since the Raspberry Pi 3B+ is actually a 64 bit machine (but...

I recently constructed a Raspberry Pi cluster for testing a few distributed systems (ceph, primarily, which failed fantastically due to the 1G memory of the Raspberry Pi 3 B+...I managed to get it *running*, but anytime there was a *recovery operation* the cluster slowed to a halt). More recently I put rak8s on the Pis to test out Kubernetes, using the default Docker backend.
Problem is, arm32v7 Docker images are severely limited, especially compared to what is available on amd64....
