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.

Setting up and leveling up your homelab - a comprehensive guide

I'm writing this homelab guide to share some of the things I've learned, so if you're starting out or looking for what to do next, perhaps you can grab an idea or two for your setup. I would always advise starting small, getting comfortable, and then deciding if you are ready for more.

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.
