# Intro
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's been a busy month for me. I've been working on doing "something" everyday (coding, lifting, running, and the like).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But in the process of all that I've been able to install and deploy some pretty cool things.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also started on further refining my RE skills with doing a course on OpenSecurity2.

# Selfhosting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So this month (and July) were pretty good months in the realm of self hosting (for me at least lol).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I successfully upgraded my Proxmox Cluster from version 8 to 9. Which was pretty straight forward.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not really sure of the current improvements related to what I host but it seemed to give me a more stable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
connection over ssh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some new services that I added over the last two months were:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [SilverBullet](https://silverbullet.md/): a note (or [knowledge](https://youtu.be/0GIwTG8V-Ko?si=WJCPSExZAFLL3TXo) collection) taking service that is bundled with a server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [Booklore](https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore): eBook display/library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Gitea Act Runners (not fully set up)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SilverBullet has been pretty enjoyable to use as I started working on my assembly skills.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, I haven't had need for it with my job or really anywhere else. Story of my selfhosting journey.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Booklore has a nice UI but I didn't get to use it much as I have been struggling with removing the DRM
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from my Kindle books so that I can use them elsewhere. One thing that I didn't realize when using calibre
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(the ebook library builder) is that I need to bring over the books from my kindle and not what was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
downloaded off of Amazon.

# RE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So to hold myself a bit more accountable in developing my RE skills I started doing courses through
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[OpenSecurity2](https://p.ost2.fyi/). I've done the 1000 level intro class as an intern (about 6 years ago)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so I'm going back through it to refresh and start to take better notes on what I'm learning and cool info
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that I find. I hope to somehow teach what I learn to either my coworkers at my current job or through this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
blog in the `RE` section.

# Outro
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I know I'm more of a rambler when it comes to informal writing and I hope that this blog can help me
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
start to better articulate these thoughts. Also as I get more mature I'm (thankfully) getting better at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
doing something **every day**. What I mean by that is as the day goes by, even if I don't always
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
get a full hour of a work out in or write a full blog page, as long as I do SOMETHING I will progress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's a lot of these types of sayings, "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" "Keep forward momentum"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Journey before Destination" (I'm kidding with the last one... or am I???).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway... I just encourage you to simply do SOMETHING in the area that you are trying to accomplish everyday.
|
|
|

Welp that's it... gg
