Twitter.Bootstrap.Less v3.0.2

Updated to the latest source and published on 11/13/2013. Full changelog on the Bootstrap blog here http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2013/11/06/bootstrap-3-0-2-released/. If you have any issues with the package, please let me know https://github.com/sirkirby/twitter-bootstrap-nuget/issues.

Metro-UI-CSS v2.0.1

One of my favorite new(ish) front-end toolkits with a Modern/Metro twist. They skipped v1 and went directly to v2! The new v2.0.1 package also comes with a few structural changes, shown in the screenshot below. Projects using the previous version should not upgrade without being ready to do some work, as with any major release. For full project docs and details, visit the site here http://metroui.org.ua/. The Project owner also offers a NuGet package, though I would consider it more for testing due to its structure and contents. My package is a bit more convention-based and only includes the necessary files. If you want the Less files, opt for the Metro.UI.CSS package, or send me a pull request similar to the Boostrap.Less package above.

Upgrade your online privacy and security on any budget

I hope to convince you that good personal online privacy and security is essential, accessible, and works on any budget.

Load balanced and highly available local DNS with DNSDist and Keepalived

Caution: prepare to enter the over-engineering zone! I assert that your homelab can have one local IP address for DNS that will be fast & resilient across a high volume of requests, survive several physical and virtual machine failures, while never failing to resolve or respond.

Run a free AI coding assistant locally with VS Code

Wouldn't it be awesome to use a local LLM as your personal AI assistant on the daily, subscription-free, completely offline, and even in VS Code? Type "y" to continue.

Highly available Pi-hole setup in Kubernetes with secure DNS over HTTPS DoH

Previously, I wrote an article about how to set up two or more Pi-hole instances using Docker Swarm, which has worked quite well for me up to this point. I've since decided this setup was too easy and wanted to move from Normal to Hard mode and bring Kubernetes into the mix.
