Streaming gaming PC to the TV with Moonlight and Sunshine
Streaming a Gaming PC straight to an Android TV turned out to be easier than expected; it essentially was much like with Steam Link in the past, and now the WiFi network is a lot faster!

In-place upgrade Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04
Upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 in-place can be very convenient and a lot faster than installing Ubuntu 24.04 anew, but does it work well? That has been the question and doubt keeping me from trying again ever since one such upgrade went bad years ago.
Kubernetes homelab server with Ubuntu Server 24.04 (octavo)
Need. More. Server. Need. More. POWER!!!
Just a bit more, maybe quite a bit more, to run services that are more CPU-intensive than those already running in the current Single-node Kubernetes cluster on an Intel NUC: lexicon.
Home Assistant on Kubernetes on Raspberry Pi 5 (Alfred)
That old house with aging electrical wiring, where last winter we needed Continuous Monitoring for TP-Link Tapo devices to keep power consumption in check at all times, could do with a more versatile and capable setup, to at least partially automate the juggling involved in keeping power consumption within the contracted capacity.
Home Assistant should be a good way to scale this up, but what that old house needs in the first place is a 24x7 system, so here we go again to setup a brand new Raspberry Pi... enter Alfred, the new housekeeper.
Upgrading single-node Kubernetes cluster on Ubuntu Studio 24.04 (lexicon)
Upgrading the single-node kubernetes cluster on rapture
went smoothly, so it's time to repeat the process on lexicon, especially
since the current version (1.26) will be
End Of Life next month!
Migrating UniFi Controller to Kubernetes
The old UniFi Controller and its required Mongo DB have been a bit
of a hassle to keep updated while running directly on the host OS in
my little homelab server,
so the time has come to migrate this to the new
linuxserver.io/docker-unifi-network-application
on my little Kubernetes cluster
on my new Kubernetes cluster.
Warning
Beware of outdated documentation, most articles out there like Install Unifi Controller on Kubernetes, are based on the deprecated linuxserver/unifi-controller, while others like setting up the UniFi Network Controller using Docker are using jacobalberty/unifi-docker which was quite outdated until recently.
Ubuntu Studio 24.04 on Raven, Gaming PC (and more)
The time has came to update my other PC, which I use also for gaming, coding, media production and just about everything, to Ubuntu Studio 24.04.
This is a smaller PC build based on a lower TDP CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 2600X) to fit in a Silverstone RVZ03 Mini ITX case with the very compact Noctua NH-L9x65 cooler.
Ubuntu Studio 24.04 on Super Tuna (NUC PC)
This would be a very minimal journey of installing Ubuntu Studio 24.04 on a relatively new mid-range Intel® NUC 13 Pro mini PC, had it not gone wahoonie-shaped...
Ubuntu Studio 24.04 on Rapture, Gaming PC (and more)
The time has came to update my main PC, which I use for gaming, coding, media production and just about everything, to Ubuntu Studio 24.04.
Considering Timing
Ubuntu Studio 24.04 LTS Released on April 25th but, as they themselves put it since it’s just out, you may experience some issues, so you might want to wait a bit before upgrading.
There doesn't seem to be anything particular scarey in release notes:
And my plan is not to upgrade in place; I like to keep the previous version around, just in case I need a stable system to fall back to.
Self-hosted music streaming with Navidrome
Navidrome is a self-hosted, open source music server and streamer. It gives you freedom to listen to your music collection from any browser or mobile device I heard about in the Linux Matters podcast.
I tried it on my little Kubernetes cluster and here are impressions so far.
