Since I seem to set up new Sailfish OS devices at least once a year (because I got myself a new toy) and I am lazy, I set up my current Sailfish OS device, a Gemini PDA, up to work with Ansible.
These are my notes on using Ansible with my Gemini PDA running Sailfish OS 3.0.1.14
For some reason, Sailfish OS on a Gemini PDA
has a very small /
but an overly large /home/.
This post describes how to reclaim space from /home/.
After installing Fedora 29 on my ODROID-HC2 nodes, I want to get an ansible user onto them so that my usual Ansible playbooks can configure them.
This blog post is about installing Fedora 29 on an ODROID-HC2 (from a Fedora 29 x86_64 workstation).
The aim is to get the ODROID in a state where one can ssh as root to the host.
Both initial setup over serial and installing without using a serial console are described.
Added this to my server:

These are my notes on installing Windows 10 Professional (English International) in a VM on a KVM libvirt hypervisor running on CentOS 7.
These notes also apply to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7)
Since the new server is to be a hypervisor, there are configuration steps to be done.
My braindump follows.
My new server has IPMI which includes a watchdog timer.
Since I regularly get told that hardware watchdogs are no fun to set up, I’ll record my setup steps for an IPMI watchdog here. This document is not about watchdogs in general, but rather specifically on how to use an IPMI watchdog on a recent Red Hat based distribution.
The Super Micro remote management webUI is nice and even offers KVM with HTML5. But I much prefer using vendor agnostic IPMI directly instead of a vendor specific tool like iDRAC, iLO, etc.
These are my notes on setting fan thresholds via IPMI for my H11DSi-NT motherboard.
My significant other and I got ourselves a new home server.
After playing with it for a week, I’ve decided that Hugo will indeed be the blog software I use for now.
While I very much liked the idea of Octopress generating static pages, I do not know enough Ruby to deal with problems I had after updating my base OS.
