"Why are there no commits?" โ relax, they're real. |
Things I made instead of touching grass ๐ฑ
| ๐ Project | What it does | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| ๐พ stateful-pods | A whole OS as a pet in a Kubernetes pod โ own init, own package manager, rootfs on a PVC. Proxmox LXC energy, K8s primitives. | Shell Helm Go |
| โก nixactions | GitHub Actions, but make it Nix โ declarative CI that actually reproduces | Nix |
| โ๏ธ nixcluster | Declarative NixOS clusters, converged by one idempotent command. Two-way reconciliation: leaving the config means leaving the cluster. | Nix |
| ๐ค NIO | NixOS Infrastructure Operator โ day-2 NixOS from inside Kubernetes. Currently rewriting it from kopf to kubebuilder. | Go |
| โธ๏ธ n8n-node-kubernetes-api | OpenAPI-driven Kubernetes node for n8n automation | JavaScript |
| ๐ฅ๏ธ system-manager | NixOS modules on any Linux โ Nix sneaks in everywhere | Nix |
| ๐ shell-apiserver | A K8s Aggregated API Server where CRUD = shell scripts. Cursed. Works. | Go |
| ๐ต yandex-music-lidarr ยท youtube-music-lidarr | Hi-Res FLAC indexer for Lidarr w/ on-the-fly AES-CTR decryption, plus its YouTube Music sibling | C# |
๐งฉ wasmtime-dotnet component-model |
WASI 0.2 host bindings + Roslyn source-gen from WIT, aimed upstream | C# |
| ๐ Nix | My machines as code โ macOS and a Steam Deck, dendritic pattern + flake-parts | Nix |
| ๐๏ธ | Talk | Deck |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | NixOS instead of Talos โ declarative bare-metal Kubernetes nodes with NixOS ๐ท๐บ | slides Slidev |
I spend most days deep in Cozystack โ a Free & Open Source PaaS for running VMs, managed Kubernetes, and DBaaS on bare metal. The rest goes into NixOS as a Kubernetes node OS: nixcluster for bootstrap, NIO for day-2, and a talk to argue about it. Occasional nixpkgs, Talos tooling and WASM rabbit holes. ๐
- ๐ฆ The
kitsunein the handle is not an accident โ yes, I like foxes - ๐ก Tinkering with Reticulum mesh networking (LoRa / packet radio / off-grid comms)
- ๐ฎ Career started with Minecraft mods & Telegram bots โ everyone starts somewhere
- ๐ My homelab has more uptime than my sleep schedule, and now it runs pets in pods
