ProxLB: A loadbalancer for Proxmox VE clusters
ProxLB is an open-source load balancing solution for Proxmox clusters, designed to fill the gap left
by the absence of VMware-like Dynamic Resource Scheduling. It intelligently distributes workloads based
on metrics like CPU, memory, and disk usage, while supporting filters, exclusions, and affinity or
anti-affinity rules for flexible resource allocation. Its maintenance mode enables seamless guest migration
during updates or hardware work, minimizing downtime and disruption. By integrating with CI/CD tools via
the Proxmox API and avoiding SSH dependencies, ProxLB offers a secure, customizable, and
automation-friendly way to optimize cluster performance.

Fediverse Relay: Connect smaller instances in the Fediverse
Running a free Fediverse relay service to help smaller and single-user instances connect more easily with the wider
network. Powered by lightweight and efficient ActivityPub relay software, it supports platforms like Mastodon,
Pleroma, GoToSocial, and more. By amplifying posts from smaller nodes, the relay reduces isolation, boosts
visibility, and strengthens decentralization. To keep the network healthy, the rules are simple: no hate speech,
no porn, no spam, and nothing illegal. We especially welcome tech-related content, including BSD, Linux, networking,
IPv6, and similar topics. Btw, this relay instance (fedi-relay.gyptazy.com) also gets mentioned by the snac
author in the release notes of v2.69 "Yin/Yang of Love".
