The article covers HTML redirects, updating hardcoded links, Disqus comment reindexing, and difficulties redirecting RSS feeds when moving from Octopress to Jekyll. ### Source excerpt If you follow my blog posts with an RSS reader, update the rss feed to: https://blog.wagemakers.be/atom.xml ...If you want to continue to follow me off-course ;-) I moved my blog from GitHub to my own hosting ( powered by Procolix ). Procolix sponsored my hosting for 20 years, till I decided to start my company Mask27.dev. One reason is that Microsoft seems to like to put "copilot everywhere", including on repositories hosted on github. While I don't dislike AI ( artificial intelligence ), LLM ( Large Language Models ) are a nice piece of technology. The security, privacy, and other issues are overlooked or even just ignored. The migration was a bit more complicated as usual, as nothing "is easy" ;-) You'll find the pitfalls of moving my blog below as they might be useful for somebody else ( including the future me ). ## ansible-k3s-on-vms updated to Debian 13 (Trixie) DevFeed: [ansible-k3s-on-vms updated to Debian 13 (Trixie)]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Staf Wagemakers Published: 2025-11-13T04:30:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [stafwag Blog]() Topics: [Ansible](), [k3s](), [Debian](), [Raspberry Pi](), [virtual machines](), [Cloud]() Tags: [ansible](), [changelog](), [cloud](), [cloudinit](), [cluster](), [debian](), [debugging](), [k3s](), [kubernetes](), [linux](), [pi](), [pi-4](), [release](), [virtual-machines]() ### AI overview The article announces updated Ansible roles for provisioning virtual machines and deploying k3s on a Raspberry Pi 4 cluster.

And created a few ansible roles to provision the virtual machines with cloud image with cloud-init and deploy k3s on it. I updated the roles below to be compatible with the latest Debian release: Debian 13 Trixie.

The update moves the base image to Debian Bookworm, generates a default certificate with unbound-control-setup, and updates the documentation. The article also explains using Unbound as an authoritative DNS server and for DNS-over-TLS. ### Source excerpt Unbound is a popular DNS resolver, that has native DNS-over-TLS support. Unbound and Stubby were among the first resolvers to implement DNS-over-TLS. I wrote a few blog posts on how to use Stubby on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. https://blog.wagemakers.be/blog/2018/09/09/dns-privacy-with-stubby-part1-gnulinux/ https://blog.wagemakers.be/blog/2018/10/07/dns-privacy-with-stubby-part-2-freebsd/ The implementation status of DNS-over-TLS and other DNS privacy options is available at: https://dnsprivacy.org/. See https://dnsprivacy.org/implementation_status/ for more details. It's less known that it can also be used as authoritative DNS server (aka a real DNS server). Since I discovered this feature and Unbound got native DNS-over-TLS support I started to it as my DNS server. I created a docker container for it a couple of years back to use it as an authoritative DNS server. I recently updated the container, the latest version (2.1.0) is available at: https://github.com/stafwag/docker-stafwag-unbound ChangeLog Version 2.1.0 Upgrade to debian:bookworm Updated BASE_IMAGE to debian:bookworm Add ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive Run unbound-control-setup to generate the default certificate Documentation updated
