Kubernetes ingress with Traefik As mentioned in my last blog post I want to focus on a provider neutral setup for my own cloud, using technology that is not bound to any cloud offering whenever possible. While google cloud offers load balanced HTTP ingress by default it is apparently very expensive in comparison to running small nodes and I have heard only good things about using Traefik for kubernetes ingress....
Why invest in a personal cloud It has never been easier to host your personal side projects. Tools like surge.sh or Heroku make it painless to run your code. And if all else fails the old reliable “drag and drop files to a ftp” is always there - so why invest time into setting up your own personal cloud with kubernetes? My goal for technology is typically to find a setup that gets boring to work with because I know it well and can focus on delivering new functionality....
Entity-Systems for typescript based games For my latest game project Frozzen I want to explore how an external UI, build with Angular, would work for a browser based game. Since Angular is written in Typescript that means ideally the game should also use the same. I have used Artemis ODB as framework for a Java based game in the past and liked it a lot.

Easy to set up and maintain (I don’t want to set up and host databases or complicated CMS systems and when I come back to this in a month it should be easy to update....

There is an active community on reddit (r/MealPrepSunday/) and various blogs online. Often mealprep containers are separated in three sections for a carb source, a protein source and vegetables. With mealpreplist I wanted to save my own, simple meal components for each of these sections and allow myself an easy way of combining them to a meal to prepare....
Whatchr was born of a personal problem. I regularly watch let’s play content on youtube (following a group of content creators with their series), mainly following the channels of The Yogscast. Youtube’s focus is on either suggesting content it thinks you find interesting on your “Suggestions” or content divided in daily chunks in your “Feed”. There is no nice way to watch multiple series other than bookmarking playlists with watch positions....
