Pulled Pork Notes

April 2026 Threw 2 shoulders in the Traegar this morning. This time I didn’t put much thought into the seasonings, we’ll see how they turn out. Hot Honey Ham + Perfect Pork (festival) + Jack Daniels on both but was light on the Hot Honey Ham Pellets: Signature again Prediction: this will be just like the June note that I didn’t read before prepping the meat but sounds like I by default did the same thing with the seasonings I had and now I have high expectations for dinner! Results: as expected, a little dry due to my laziness, but the rubs came out great! Missing my Holy Gospel from Meat Church though June 26 2025 I smoked 2 pork shoulders Heavy application of Jack Daniels default pork rub + Meat Church’s the Holy Gospel Hot Honey Ham + Perfect Pork (festival) They smoked with Traegar’s Signature pellets at 250 until internal temp of 205, then they rest covered for a few hours, then tear apart… overall rating: The Hot Honey Ham + Perfect Pork tasted great. It was not that spicy at all…

Reflection - Luke 22:48

Reflection - Luke 22:48

Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening today I almost skipped, not that I’m diligent to sit down every day anyways, but because I’m struggling with stress and work and I was hoping for some divine moment where the meditation of the day would just speak directly to my worries. But by God’s grace, I feel it speaking to parts of me I’d rather ignore, and that alone is enough confirmation to spend an extra minute on it… Luke 22:48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” Spurgeon says first thing “The kisses of an enemy are deceitful”, not that he’s the first one to say it… Proverbs 27:6 The wounds of a friend mean well, but the kisses of an enemy are profane. Our pastor delivered a great sermon on Sunday that is dove-tailing in my heart with this… He said the most dangerous place to be was in the presence of the Lord Jesus, and to remain unchanged by him. Jesus has words for me which do not feel good in the moment - words I don’t even disagree with… but do I f…
Remote Terraform State Requires Working Traefik… DUH!

Remote Terraform State Requires Working Traefik… DUH!

I’m working on some spring cleaning in my homelab and backed myself into a hilarious corner yesterday. I use Open Tofu for any of my Terraform needs now, and although I don’t manage a ton with terraform, I do manage all my cloudflare stuff with it. I decided I wanted to use my own minio instance as the s3 remote state backend for my workspaces so I could rely on my typical NAS data backup/retention workflow for the buckets in case anything went wrong, as opposed to a local state file that I’m not taking a lot of precautions with. Well during my Spring Cleaning I was working towards replacing ingress into my home network with Cloudflare tunnels and in the midst of that update I took down traefik, no matter a simple ’tofu apply’ should get me right back to working order… Hilarious problem with thankfully an easy fix… downloading the state file from Minio wasn’t a big deal since the container was still running without issue, and placing the state file in the folder to use as the local sta…
