CTG Liga NTSC - Season 1 in 2026

⏱️ 5 min read

Small Note: This is my first ever recap, so it is a bit shorter! I also will not get into the full explanation of how Tetris works in prior posts and instead link to this one.

Of course, I recommend reading my documentation about some technical aspects first:

Talos Linux on Proxmox: The Immutable Kubernetes Dream (and its Nightmares)

⏱️ 8 min read

In one of my previous posts about the state of my home cluster, I briefly touched on why I decided to use Talos Linux. When deciding on how to set up your Kubernetes cluster, you have what feels like infinite choices. There are over 60 available Certified Kubernetes Distributions, some of which are tailored towards corporate use (I am looking at you OpenShift and your what-feels-like-infinite pricing), while others are tailored for single-node development environments.

Music and what to use

After a quick talk a few days about why I believe that Talos Linux is one of the best solutions for a kubernetes cluster, deep diving into more standards (and opening a new category for standards) is the next logical step for me. The first that to me as an audiophile is important to talk about are all of the different codecs (lossy & lossless) and why nearly all of them do no longer matter nowadays.

State of the Cluster: Embracing Talos Linux

⏱️ 3 min read

If you’ve followed my philosophy for this website—no trackers, no cookies, no unnecessary bloat—it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I hold my home infrastructure to the same standard. Recently, I have finally managed to finish the basic setup of my k8s cluster using Talos Linux.

Why Talos?

There is a chance you may ask yourself why I am using Talos Linux instead of something like OKD (which is like the Fedora of Openshift), or something like MicroK8s. The reason is actually quite simple as OKD is overkill and has much more out of the box than I require on my somewhat limited homelab. Talos has the advantage over full Linux Distros like Ubuntu or OpenSuse that is is tailored for using it as a k8s distribution.

Darkstars.me is officially open!

⏱️ 1 min read

After being in a closed/private state for a long time, darkstars.me has just opened for general availability.

This website will host a variety of different blogs. A few examples of what to expect are:

• Cyber Security
• Why global norms are important
• A bit about my mountain biking experience
• News in Classic Tetris, especially the European and German scene

I also plan on hosting an rss feed, so that you can subscribe to the topics you are interested in.
