Welcome Wireguard (It’s really always DNS)
Today I commuted to work and of course wanted to try my new #Navidrome setup that I wrote about before. And – it didn’t work :-( It couldn’t resolve the host name. DNS – again!

Migration, Containers and … It’s always DNS, really
As I wrote in my previous post, I have a new member in the home server environment: The Lenovo ThinkCenter Mini Computer! Right after getting Ubuntu up and running on it, I began the process of easing the workload on my #RaspberryPi. PiHole had been flagging high CPU load a couple of times already, especially…

How to Use a Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q as a Powerful Home Server
As an IT enthusiast, I’ve long been (and still are!) a fan of the #RaspberryPi mini computers. My main Pi already runs multiple services like #PiHole, #Navidrome and #Jellyfin – which often pushes it near its limits.

How to batch migrate Repos from Bitbucket to Codeberg
When I was browsing through my code archive, I noticed that I was missing some projects and wondered where I had left them after my recent re-install. Just then I noticed that I still had some private repos at Bitbucket. As I just needed a place to back up the code, I decided that I…

Trying Bookwyrm
Besides programming and all kinds of IT stuff, I really like reading books. Regarding my Calibre library, I am reading between 10 and 20+ books a year. The spectrum covers a couple of IT books but mostly Science Fiction and Fantasy books. Bookwyrm? And since I joined Mastodon and thus the Fediverse, I came across…
