Living in Manchester, UK
Husband, network guy, self hosted / Local Hosted newbie, generally a good cook, fan of home automation using home assistant, IPv6 novice, Ansible beginner and cat dad.
Working as part of a small infrastructure team specialising in network connectivity for an international office equipment manufacturer
What am I reading?
Started reading The annihilation score by Charles Stross.
See my reading list at Rambling Readers for more details
What am I playing?
Halo Infinite on the Xbox Series X. Yeah I know, I should buy a PC if I want to play games properly, but I just can’t be bothered upgrading it every 3 days because there’s a better version of device X that needs 15 gigapixels more stuff to work.
What am I working on?
Experimenting with a Wireguard VPN to allow access to my home network services and to provide an option for secure internet access while travelling.
Now we have a new home ISP who issues us with a fixed IPv6 prefix, I’m moving as many of our local services to use v6 as possible. Learning as I go. The blog itself runs on a server at homme that has dual stack but I’m also testing with a few v6 only services to see how things go.
My Blog where you’ll find things such as solar system stats and my general ramblings. At the moment, I’m trying to get my arse in gear to create some actual posts for the blog but I’m having a bit of a challenge.
Working to make the best use of our home solar and battery installation to reduce our energy bills as much as possible so there’s a high likelyhood of stats and system update posts and how much we’ve managed to funnel into Eddie, our EV.
How do I contact you?
You can find me on many of the socials but I tend to use the Fediverse more than any other where you can find me as https://bsd.network/@pugmiester where I rattle on about solar and home automation although I’m hoping I’ll be doing a little more of that over here so I can get some use out of my new (as of April 2023) blog.
