## [Helm]($section.id("2025-08-08T16:00:00"))
Another thing I'm exploring is writing a helm chart. I've got one generated by Claude [here](https://git.yadunut.dev/yadunut/system/src/branch/main/charts/system) but I feel like it's overkill for what I'm trying to do. So going through the generated templates and removing unnecessary stuff. For reference, I'm using podinfo's helm chart to see what I actually need

## [Minisforum MS-A2]($section.id("2025-08-08T15:00:00"))
I've recently got my hands on a Minisforum MS-A2 and have been wanting to join it to my home cluster. Instead, i've been tinkering around writing cleaner nix code... ~~Giving Up~~ Pausing on that for now, and just shoving code into the [configuration.nix](https://git.yadunut.dev/yadunut/dotfiles/src/branch/main/penguin/configuration.nix). 

Also got myself a A2000 ADA but at its current form factor, does not fit into the MS-A2. Just ordered a [cooler](https://n3rdware.com/components/single-slot-rtx-2000-ada-cooler) so that this GPU fits into a smaller form factor case. and hopefully with that, I have a mini portable powerhouse. 

Just as I bought this, I started seeing benchmarking results for the Ryzen AI Max 395+, and it seems to be blowing this out of the water, due to its unified memory(?) architecture

## [Hello World]($section.id("2025-08-05"))
This is the first entry in this year's microblog created with [Zine](https://zine-ssg.io)! I'm exploring using Jujutsu as a VCS right now, and it seems interesting. The site data can be found [here](https://git.yadunut.dev/yadunut/yadunut.dev).
