Moved my blog to blog.wagemakers.be

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)
I use the lightweight Kubernetes K3s on a 3-node Raspberry Pi 4 cluster.

I updated the roles below to be compatible with the latest Debian release: Debian 13 Trixie.
With this release comes a new movie ;-)
