Been working as a dev for over 15 years now, mostly in startups so alway learning, very fast mover.

The last few years has mostly revolved around building large internal cloud consumption platforms for enterprises through a boutique consultancy; involved from initial pitches through to implementation.

Previously successfully raised VC funds and while ultimately unsuccessful in the long run, learned a lot.


I self host a huge amount of stuff on-top of a custom cloud platform I built using a Kubernetes cluster deployed as a tenant of my cloud.

I run a few servers which all have an "ordlet" installed, akin to the kubelet, which configure network namespaces for isolated tenant networking and boots virtual machines which use a EC2 style metadata server to fetch their boot script, which for this purpose configures a HA kubernetes cluster that then uses ArgoCD to fetch all the manifests from my git repo using an AppSet.

It's so incredibly over complicated and over engineered, it's a lot of fun :)

You might like my homelab hypervisor project, https://github.com/ordiri/ordiri

It's built on-top of the Kubernetes API server runtime and deploys virtual machines and tenant networks, you can see the Kubernetes cluster I deploy using IaC YAML manifests here - https://github.com/ordiri/ordiri/tree/master/ordiri/examples...

It powers all my publicly hosted, ipv6 only services - https://blog.dmann.xyz for example, it's 1000% over kill but a fun project none the less :)


I've bought 6 of these direct from Espressif on Aliexpress, highly recommend!

I've been working on an incredibly over engineered platform to run my home lab and to help learn about some lower levels of the stack I don't get to play with much in my day job as a consultant.

It's based on the kubernetes api server so while it doesn't understand "pods" or even proper "namespaces", it uses the same YAML resource model and api server code.

I'm a big subscriber to broken windows theory; leaking raw errors and plain text passwords makes me think it's likely common practice...

I've reached out to them so hopefully they can get this sorted!


I tried it. It's still not fixed. This is incredibly dangerous.

I think that for all 'non-essential' sites it might be prudent to use a throwaway password each time. I think it might be an all too common practice on many a site.


I try and use separate passwords on every site, essential or not. That way if something like this happens it isn't really much of a big deal.

After all, who can ever know that even a large site like Facebook or Twitter or Google or Hacker News is storing your password securely? You usually can't, so you may as well be cautious and not reuse passwords for any service.


Hey mate, I'd love to know what languages you deal with?


Mostly Python and learning React which strangely gave me a taste for functional programming so might try something like Scala next. You?
