Building a Kubernetes Cluster With Raspberry Pis and containerd

I’ve found a lot of guides on how to get Kubernetes set up on Raspberry Pis (Raspberry Pi 4 specifically), but I haven’t found any recently that go through the process using containerd instead of Docker. I recently worked through this process and thought I’d share my experience. Before we get started, I wanted to …

Creating Wildcard Certificates on pfSense with Let’s Encrypt

As we progress in the internet age, we put more and more emphasis on security. This has previously been a bit more difficult to do for someone who hosts their own sites and services.

A few days ago my roommate got a box of random electronic parts donated to him. Most of the stuff was junk, only good to salvage parts off of. But there were two items that we did find of interest. Two motherboards that seemed like they were still in pretty good condition. What if we …

TFS Builds and Build Servers for TFS 2008

It seems that a lot of companies have become a fan of virtualization. I can understand why. Instead of having 5 single machines — and as such 5 sets of hardware — all doing one task, you can have one machine run 5 virtual servers running their one task. It saves space, power consumption, and …
