Looking for a remote #cloud #architect position. I'm a talented coder, but real passion is architecture. I LOVE building shit. Love it. Integration is so much fun. I'd love a job @cloudflare but those are so competitive. If someone would just give me a chance, I'd rock. Any cool #FOSS startups? #jobs

I just found this one.. so great if you want to use Gamepass Xcloud a bit more and tweak it! #game #games #gaming #retro #retrogaming #cloudgaming #cloud #gamepass #xcloud #android #windows https://better-xcloud.github.io/

Hot off the press! This is post number 3 in my homelab journey series. In this post, I explore a temporary pivot away from using a homelab server while addressing some hardware issues.

My brother had been using wifi battery monitors on his, his girlfriend's, and my cars for the last few years since we don't drive every day. Apparently they were dependent on a cloud service that the company discontinued, bricking them all!
In looking up if anyone has found a way to use them without the cloud, I just found vendors still selling the now useless devices. The Deltran Battery Tender 081-0172.

• IONOS
• Scaleway
• Hetzner
• OVHCloud
