Automating Air filters

Recently I was watching a Thomas Sanladerer (Making with Layers) video on youtube about the emission of gases from 3D prints. Like Thomas, I am concerned about the fumes that come from my 3D printers and I'm interested in ways to reduce them, especially around my young son.

Getting klipper to detect my CR-10 MAX reliably

More Kestra Automation

While I am working through some issues and they may well be the subject of another post, this time I thought I'd shamelessly extend what I have done before extended with some of Christian Lempa's files.

Kestra webhooks and Home assistant

Welcome back to another blog post on Kestra. Starting from where I left off last time, I'm going to try to fix a few little niggles I had with the time based triggers.

Automating Ansible playbooks with Kestra

Recently, after watch Christian Lempa videos, I have started playing about with Kestra. Kestra is a work flow orcestration platform to schedule playbooks or tirgger them when I want them. Example using unpackerr.

Fixing booting issues with LVM

Earlier this yaer, I bought a Firebat N100 pc to add to my proxmox cluster. The device itself is great. Apart from when updating, it sometimes reboots. Recently, this reboot was while the kernel was being updated.
