DDR Pad in 2025

Decided that I needed some more excersize and figured a good way to get motived was to pick back up some good ol’ DDR.

Picked up a the Deluxe Foam Pad from DDRPad.com and set out to play some DDR.

While I have a few PS2s dont actually have a hard copy of DDR nor have I moddded them to play from disk images (another project for another day).

Kubevirt Part 1 - 4/29/2025

Recently have come to the need of having to run a virtual machine as a part of the k8s cluster.

My main storage was a solaris ZFS raidz2 that has served me well for a long time now. The machine I had originally hosted it on was out of commission so used an old optiplex desktop for a while. The problem with this was that all the drives were just strewn about and it was quite haphazard. Picked up an Asus 4x4 box as this seemed to be a good hardware fit with the rest of my cluster and it has ECC ram. When booting solaris onto it from the live cd it refused to start with some tty error. Its not happy about the something in the bios (probably the fact that its uefi). So to use the new hardware and still access the data will need to run a VM on this machine. And what better way to manage that than via kubevirt!
