## This Week's Highlights
|
|
|
|
Another productive week! Got a lot done across various projects and discovered some great new music.
|
|
|
|
### Music Discovery
|
|
|
|
Found an incredible new album that's been on repeat all week. The production quality is phenomenal and it's perfect for late-night coding sessions. Added it to the rotation on the now playing section.
|
|
|
|
### Tech Experiments
|
|
|
|
Spent some time diving into terminal emulators (wrote a full post about it). Currently test-driving Alacritty and loving the performance boost from GPU acceleration.
|
|
|
|
### Home Lab Updates
|
|
|
|
- Upgraded the network switch firmware
|
|
- Reorganized the equipment rack (for the third time this month)
|
|
- Set up monitoring for all critical services
|
|
- Finally labeled all the cables
|
|
|
|
## Currently Reading
|
|
|
|
Still working through "The Phoenix Project" - the parallels to real-world IT operations are uncanny. Taking notes on bottlenecks and constraint theory.
|
|
|
|
## Random Thoughts
|
|
|
|
Why is cable management so satisfying yet so temporary? As soon as you get everything perfect, you need to add one more device and it all falls apart.
|
|
|
|
## For Next Week
|
|
|
|
- Write about my home server setup
|
|
- Explore some new static site generators
|
|
- Maybe finally tackle that Raspberry Pi cluster project I've been planning
|
|
|
|
That's all for this week. Stay curious!
