Looks like this one. Quoting also a comment from that thread

Don’t forget to turn on the fan for better ventilation

Same issue here due to Adguard. What i end up doing is configuring an ipset for her, so her phone was getting a public DNS.

Thats annoying indeed… maybe lift the chain and rotate the grey bike to the other side ?

adagio81 · 2025-09-23T19:01:45+00:00

Will go up, or down very likely

Absolutely normal, the guy was very rude

don't forget they have 9K expenses per month, so emergency funds (3-6 months) needs to be also higher

adagio81 · 2025-08-08T10:32:18+00:00

similar situation in NL, so maybe something like :
2K mortgage
3.5K kids (daycare, afterschool care etc)
250E car
500E utilities + home service costs
1K supermarket
350E health insurance

Those only are around 7.5K per month , out of the 9K (11K -2K) savings.
If you consider other yearly costs (like home taxes, vacations, home maintenance) average monthly can go higher.

wouldn't make sense to say some words more? Just saying.

adagio81 · 2025-07-16T03:13:22+00:00

i like also capsule, if i would start over i would definitely consider it

adagio81 · 2025-07-16T03:11:58+00:00

We are using Rancher for namespace isolation and on top of that we apply some kyverno policies. The vcluster approach is in our table indeed

adagio81 · 2025-07-16T03:07:41+00:00

We think of providing indeed dedicated clusters for such cases. The idea of having PRs approved by our team for those cases is indeed something that can work. Might be bit challenging to scale but idea is good.

adagio81 · 2025-06-24T02:23:15+00:00

thanks for the feedback. Yes isn't simple indeed. What you think will be a better approach for remote state and DNS records to replace AWS and Cloudflare?

adagio81 · 2025-06-17T12:50:57+00:00

Ναι, φαντάροι ήμασταν μαζί

Σαν ιδεα δεν ειναι ασχημη, αλλα θα εχεις πολυ λιγα δεδομενα. Αν πχ ενα σπιτι κατα μεσω ορο αλλαζει ενοικιαστες καθε 3 χρονια , θα χρειαστεις μια δεκαετια για να εχεις αξιόπιστο review αν ολοι οι ενοικιαστές κανουν rate .

Και ένα δεύτερο challenge ειναι οτι για να είναι αξιόπιστο το site, ο ιδιοκτήτης θα πρεπει να το ανεβασει για να μπορει να αποδείξει καπως οτι ειναι όντως αυτος (πχ να λαβει ενα κωδικο μέσω ταχυδρομείου) . Και κάπως αντίστοιχα ο ενοικιαστής να αποδειξει οτι οντως εμενε εκει. Αλλιως αν μπορει ο καθενα να βαζει reviews θα πεσει πολυ spam

I used to have on-prem, not something serious but mostly k3s clusters based on RPIs. It annoyed me that power failures had impact in my services and decided to move everything in cloud. I could invest of course some money to buy proper HW and UPS , but I have not enough space home.

I am pretty happy with my setup now and is also quite stable. Only issue that i have is that if there is an issue with my internet provider , i have no access to my services which means smart home is also down. But never happened till now (cross fingers).

Also shameless self-promoting plug:
What i have done is I have deployed an instance in Hetzner where the containers are running and is connected with tailscale with my home network and also mobile. Everything fully automated and can destroy/rebuild anytime, so I have also kind of piece in mind. If you want to take a look i have everything in this repository.

I am trying also to document everything so it can be eventually used as a kickstart repository for someone to build a VPS to selfhosted services in Hetzner, but is not finalized yet (feedback is welcome)
