Proxmox VE 9.2 VM migration after storage changes

Proxmox VE 9.2 VM migration gets awkward the moment storage changes underneath it. I have seen a VM boot happily on one node, then fall over on the next because the disk still points at the old...

Coordinating upgrades in Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.1

Cloudflare Managed WAF rules: watch action changes

Cloudflare Managed WAF rules are easy to misread if you only skim the release notes. I look at the Security Events dashboard instead, because that is where a quiet detection turns into a block, or a...

Handling backend restarts in Cloudflare Realtime SFU

Cloudflare Realtime WebSocket adapter handles brief backend restarts better than I expected, but only within a hard five-second window. That is enough to turn a wobble into a pause; after that, the...
