"Resizing" a PVC and its PV in Microk8s
With the storage addon enabled, microk8s can automatically provision a PV when a PVC is created. The size of the PV is set according to that of the PVC. However, PVCs cannot be resized after creation. The PVC could be deleted and recreated with a larger size but this would result in the deletion of the PV and, by extension, all the data stored so far in it. This article presents a workaround to resize a PVC and its corresponding PV without any loss of data.
3D printed bracket for fume extractor
I got myself a fume extractor but it takes a rather large amount of real-estate on my desk. I decided to mount it on an arm so that I could easily move it out of the way so I designed and 3D printed an attachment bracket for it.
3D printed mount for USB dock
Mounting a USB dock to the back of my laptop stand using 3D printed parts designed in FreeCAD.
3D printed solder spool holder
One day I got fed up with my solder spool rolling around all the time so I designed this simple spool holder in Fusion360 and 3D printed it.
4WD robot
I found a cheap 4 wheel drive chassis on eBay and decided to make a remote controlled robot out of it. Thus, I made a simple board with two H-bridge modules, an NRF24L01 wireless module and Arduino pro mini.
A DIY quadcopter drone
When I was a university student, drones were starting to get popular so I decided to make my own. I made two attempt at the idea: The first attempt involved designing the most of drone from scratch, its mechanical design as well as its electronics, including the remote controller. After that attempt proved less than satisfactory, I designed a new version of the drone, this time with off the shelf electronics.
A GUI for ChartMuseum
ChartMuseum is an open-source Helm chart repository server which can be used as a self-hosted alternative to Artifact Hub. Although it originally consists of only a server-side application to be interacted with via a REST API, its official UI, ChartMuseumUI, can be deployed to interact with ChartMuseum graphically.
Unfortunately, ChartMuseumUI seems to be broken and the GitHub repository has been inactive for years now. Thus, I decided to make my own GUI for ChartMuseum.
A router out of a desktop PC with pfSense
My router needed to be replaced. However, instead of buying an off-the-shelf router, I decided to give pfSense a go and install it on a second-hand desktop computer.
A simple comparison of Svelte and Vue
Since its introduction in 2019, Svelte has quickly become one of the most loved JavaScript framework overtaking Vue.js in the State of JS ranking 2021 survey.
This article presents a simple comparison of Vue.js and Svelte as an attempt to explain why.
A template for Vue.js applications
Over the years, I have built multiple Vue.js applications. Although their business logic differs, those applications often share similar components such as a navigation panel, a header with my logo and an authentication mechanism. Writing those from scratch for each application would be time consuming so I designed an application template that can be installed using NPM to bootstrap my projects.
