Things I have been up to while off LinkedIn:

  • Working on my home lab by setting up k3s for High Availabilty servers for critical services in the lab
  • Learning more about VMs, Nginx, and Reverse Proxies
  • Learning about Certbot
  • Failing to set up TWO "beginner-friendly" reverse proxy managers and realizing that learning how to use the CLI more is the best course of action
  • Learning how to reconfigure Proxmox IP addresses, failing to keep the cluster, and wiping three nodes clean
  • Deciding that I'd keep one node out of the cluster for having one less entrypoint to my network1
  • Setting up InfluxDB for use of monitoring my Proxmox cluster and separate node in Grafana
  • Learning Linux commands such as fstab, lsblk, and that you can pretty much do everything you need system wide (rebooting, etc), by prefixing systemctl to those commands
  • Creating my own Docker image and container to fix a bug in a repo I want to use but want it to install dependencies and "just work", as they say
  • Installing a self-hosted Git client/website
  • Learning that ini files are basically the same as toml files
  • Researching how to use WebSockets in Python or Go to understand how someone could use that to exploit a website/machine by keeping the socket alive and using the website/machine as a C2 server
  • Working on creating my own C2 server

I've been at it nonstop these past two weeks, but I am having serious fun.


  1. I have too many VMs and LXCs now or I'd change the IP to help with this as well. ↩︎
