A public hostname changes what a homelab service is. A notes app, a media index, or an admin panel that answers from outside the house is no longer a LAN convenience. It is a web application on the internet, and it can be probed for the same injectio...

Security dominated this week, but not in the usual way. Two active campaigns turned GitHub configuration files into attack surfaces. Researchers demonstrated that the built-in browsers inside AI coding tools can read your SSH keys. And at Oracle AI ...

When engineers push back on deploying a Web Application Firewall WAF, the argument is rarely about whether security matters. It’s about latency. > “How many milliseconds does this thing add?” In high-throughput systems—APIs, real-time services, edg...

Howdy, In this chapter, we're going to look at how to expose services running inside our Kubernetes cluster to the outside world using an Ingress Controller. We'll be using the NGINX Ingress Controller and taking full advantage of our GitOps setup w...

Howdy! Ever since I discovered GitOps, I've been in love with the concept. The idea of managing all your infrastructure configuration from a centralized Git repository - and having a tool automatically apply those changes - is incredibly powerful. ...

Howdy! We've come a long way! We've set up our Kubernetes cluster, configured GitOps with ArgoCD, managed secrets securely, exposed applications through Ingress, and set up DNS with SSL certificates. But there's one critical piece we haven't address...
