Goals + Recap Try to get back into the swing of things. 2026-04-16 10:35 Back from a good time in Kubecon EU. Had a good vacation in Paris as well, after that. Need to get back into writing my thoughts down here, so that I don’t forget the small yet important things that keep occuring to me. Need to start planning my days again. Right now, I have no clue of what shape or plan the near future has to take (with the exception of an upcoming work trip). Too busy firefighting. 2026-04-16 10:36: Change my current reverse proxy on the lan to Traefik. What am I using? For the life of me, I cannot recall. (Haproxy. I’m using Haproxy.

Added more tasks to the burgeoning task list 2026-04-16 20:15 Futzed around with Emacs config to make my agenda always open to the right. org-agenda is too smart for my own good. Calling it a night.
