First new year's resolution: DONE ✅ I promised myself to revamp my personal website/blog over the holidays to give myself a good reason to blog more frequently again - and I just published the first new post on my blog in almost a year. dbodky.me/blog/revivin...

Reviving the Homelab Part 1: Architecture

After nearly two years, it's time to have mercy with the Raspberry Pi running all(!) my selfhosted workloads. In 2026, I will bring back my beloved Kubernetes-backed homelab!

Writing docs from scratch is hard… 🥴

Now that's a blogpost by @ashley.dev around feedback and its entailments that's worth reading, rereading, then printing it and pinning it to your walls. ashley.dev/posts/feedba...

So much to build and so little free time…

#KCDBratislava is about to start 🤩 Let's goooo

Great read by @averagemarcus.bsky.social on how to prepare and give talks at conferences and meet-ups. Marcus covers every box you might want to check, and their style of writing is heartwarming and motivating. Go read it yourself! marcusnoble.co.uk/2025-04-30-m...

My tips on giving technical talks

I've been giving talks at meetups and conferences for a few years now. I started off after the encouragement of my friends giving their own talk and looking so cool doing it! It's taken a while but I ...

Uploaded my first YouTube video for my company today, and it's been a great experience. It's unlisted and will only be shared with a specific group of people, but hey - baby steps 😉

Just got a screen.studio subscription - best UX I've ever had in a MacOS app.

Just did my taxes 🤑 time to enjoy the sunny Easter weekend to its fullest 🤩😊

Who’s playing the #Pokemon TCGP game? I finally caved after seeing @richburroughs.dev skeets this weekend and am looking for friends now 😄

Onboarded all my Grafana Alloy collectors to @grafana.bsky.social Cloud Fleet Management and the whole experience was so smooth 🤩 What took the longest time was figuring out how to still run Alloy inside a container, with cAdvisor and all - expect a blog post soon! Can‘t wait for GrafanaCon now 🥳

Two more talks for this year got accepted today 😎 let‘s get cooking and learn about #docker, slim and secure containers, and #otel together!

Anyone have office space to spare for Monday in London pre-KubeCon?

Sooo I jumped on the Balatro bandwagon… bought it on Friday. Already 10h into the game - way too good! (And addictive)

Happy Birthday @social.anaisurl.com and @vfarcic.bsky.social 🥳 Have a great day and some cake 🎂

First talk for the year accepted, can‘t wait to craft another portfolio of engaging talks and workshops on various technologies for 2025 😍🤩

Since the beginning of the year, I‘ve spent 1-2h (nearly) every day programming. The amount of break-throughs regarding understanding and my mental models of certain things is unbelievable. Consistency is key! 😊

I know I am super late to the party but plan to do due diligence on Sunday on a super long car ride. How do I get started with running LLMs locally? I‘d like some introductory material that is more thorough than copy-pasting stuff. If you don‘t know of resources, share for reach pls :)

Just configured @grafana.bsky.social alloy for my homelab within 5-10 minutes with their #ansible collection and it went almost too well. 😳 Maybe I gotta write up a blog post or talk, because I haven‘t heard much about it before. 🤔

I have some availability for consulting or contracting between now and April. Need help with Cloud Native, Kubernetes, DevOps, IaC? Let's chat. Please share for reach ❤️

Fighting with Harbor today… why does it assume so much? (Proxy, cache, database, certificates, logging sidecar) Just give me env variables and a compose skeleton/Helm chart and let me configure more myself. 🥺 #homelab

The yearly urge to redo my #homelab has become irresistible once more… time to start sketching things out in Excalidraw 😄

Nothing like building your side project on a rainy Saturday.
