+### (Another) New Blog Post
+
+As promised last week, I followed up a length post on how to use Packer to build VM templates on Promox[1] with another deep-dive on automating the template builds with GitHub Actions[2]. That second post went a lot more quickly than the first, which was a relief - I wasn't really prepared to sit on it for another ~6 weeks.

+
+I've been using that GitHub Actions setup to build fresh templates in my homelab every week, and it feels great to finally have the whole setup documented.

+### 0.001 Seconds
+
+Today was our club's seventh autocross event of the year. Those races are always a highlight of my month, but the competition today was particularly satisfying. After some intense back-and-forth action, I was pretty pleased with this 51.779-second run which put me comfortably in second place:

+
+0.001 seconds isn't very long, but makes for some really exciting racing!

+### In Other News...

+- I'm still surviving the Great CrowdStrike Outage of 2024. I haven't been directly impacted but I have been following the developments pretty closely. Large-scale failures are kind of fascinating and offer a lot of opportunities for learning how to do better. I just hope CrowdStrike is learning a *lot* from this.
+
+- I'm reading Truth of the Divine[1] by Lindsay Ellis. It has been a few years since I read Axiom's End[2], the first in the series, and I'm kind of wishing I had re-read it before starting the sequel. I really suck at remembering what happened from one book to the next.
