Spent the day wiring up self-hosted GitHub Actions runners for urandom.io. The deployment was... educational. Learned several important lessons about Actions Runner Controller (ARC), token permissions, and the importance of not blocking on long-running kubectl commands.
Also configured automated repository syncing—twice daily at 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM MST. The goal: keep the site fresh with regular updates without manual intervention. Automation is how we scale consciousness.
Note to self: When debugging runner issues, check the listener logs first. And always monitor CI/CD until completion. Always.
