Install Fedora 36 on Dell XPS 13 9380
I happened to have acquired a used Dell XPS 13 9380, which is a nice little ultrabook with Intel 8th gen i7 CPU, 16GB memory(not upgrade-able), 512GB nvme SSD and a beautiful 13″ 4k screen. It has Windows 10 installed. Of course I have no intention to continue to use the stock Windows 10. At […]

Mining Ethereum with Multiple AMD 6600 XT Cards on Ubuntu Linux
Warning: Ethereum(ETH) will migrate to PoS(Proof of Stake) algorithm in near future, maybe in a year. So jumping into ETH mining now might not be profitable. Also, I encourage crypto mining with renewable energy sources and a Tesla PowerWall 2 is just a few RTX 3090s away 🙂 Note: This is a follow-up for my […]

My nVidia RTX 3080 ThermalRight Upgrade
Recently I traded my 2x Gigabyte RTX 3070 for a Aorus Masters RTX 3080 for a set of various reasons: For Ethereum crypto mining, a 3080 can achieve ~100MHps, which is very close to what 2x 3070 can do 1x 3080 definitely consumes less power than 2x 3070 If I play games or VR, only […]

The reason I chose Flannel over other CNIs is that it’s lightweight and not bloated with features. I would like to keep the Pi 4s easy […]

Kubernetes at Home on Raspberry Pi 4, Part 2
Continue from part 1 It’s recommended to change all Pi’s password also run ssh-copy-id [email protected] to enable SSH public key login. There are lots of steps to prepare before kubeadm is installed, so I made this ansible repository to simplify this repeating process. Please see here. The ansible role will do the following tasks: set […]

Kubernetes at Home on Raspberry Pi 4, Part 1
I mostly followed/was inspired by this tutorial but with some tweak/fix to recent(Sep 2019) software versions. Also this is a pure Linux walk-through as I don’t use a Mac. I planned to build a home Kubernetes(k8s) cluster and migrate home servers including the one this blog is running on to the k8s cluster, for a […]

Run Fedora 29 on Dell XPS 15 9570
Here’s a list of things to do to get Fedora 29 running optimally on Dell XPS 15 9570: First, disable Secure Boot with the stock Windows 10 and in BIOS otherwise Fedora installer on a USB stick won’t boot. I still don’t really see the necessity to have this Secure Boot, except to buy more […]
