UPDATE.PBP<br>DONE<br>Ehh… Start over?Agentic work is something I briefly touched on in my AI ethics piece. It is increasingly relevant in a tangential way today, re-starting this post-mortem in 2026. The intended chronology was a “fast-follow” for “Dreaming in Code || Lucid Dreaming”, and is narrated as such.Automating my XX years of exploring the web, studying servers, testing infrastructure, writing code, all the things… What does it mean when we’re building up whole universes at the snap of a finger? Alchemical weapons have existed long before the rise of LLMs, and reproducing failing tests typically leads to higher likelihood of greenery. Whether or not this love letter falls apart, that’s for anyone to say.There are many references to Docker containers, infrastructure (infra), and abstract representations of concepts (read: colour). There be dragons here.Introduction<br>Where most websites might include an “Introductory” post by this point, I think the true meaning behind this site will only become more clear organically. WhatCo.DE is my latest “chase” on the internet. Our citations today fully embrace the easter-eggs mentioned in our previous article. Some link to a very recent post (in 2026), some link to articles from two weeks ago, but others from three years in the future (2023). Many of the articles have received periodic updates, including Dreaming in Code || Lucid Dreaming.I welcome you to dive deeper into this epic of sorts, but don’t let that distract you. I only point out the fact that I often will slip in new links, COLOPHON bits, and in today’s lifecycle, a complete article six years after the fact with a publish date reflecting the originally intended publish date.In as such was proven, software time has claimed yet another milestone. For me, this would be an autonomous form of the existing back-end for WhatCo.DE, and save for upstream issues, it was near complete. With enough rigor it’s possible to work around this, but would also be reverted if GitLab does at some point resolve it on their own (several years later I checked and no movement, and not worth digging up a third time). The existing bug where subdomains can’t instantiate docker containers isn’t a priority for the GitLab team.The purpose of this article is to retroactively collect my thoughts on trying to autonomously instantiate Docker containers through Google Kubernetes Engine (as well as my host Linode’s LKE) with an explanation of why and what that means. I’ll also prepare any possible future iterations in conceptual form, and share some of my own opinions on these solutions for deployment.I’d be remiss to neglect mentioning that I had prior misgivings with Docker and these misgivings only surface themselves further when attempting a full-scale application reliant on it as a foundation. Editor’s Note: 2026 Kai checking in, and the view here is much nicer. Give Docker a second or third chance if you haven’t found the right deployment/distribution method. There’s a lot of good use cases for Docker containers. Yacht is cool!While in the pursuit of optimization with a optimistic attitude, developers often find themselves in a task they’re unable to pursue: the scope outweighs the technical debt of the project. During self-projects we’re able to fall on re-scopes, but when demand outweighs the means a re-engagement in approach is necessary. It’s at this point where I found myself with WhatCo.DE when a beacon of light appeared in the form of Cloudron.io. Henceforth, I found and was reminded of many projects in a similar vein [read: Nacelle, yunohost, NearlyFreeSpeech.NET]. While some workarounds are available for the issue I ran into, the overall execution is one that I find unsustainable. This is a re-occurring theme when each time I revisit attempting this project, it’s only after a long enough break that I even realize the stop-gap solutions I’ll have on hand are cohesively dead on arrival.As with my coded dreams, history is required to understand the ultimate goal, which is both abstract and tangible in scope.WordPress<br>WordPress has been in the news lately. I’m not here to talk about Automaticc. I’m here for the free open-source software. WordPress was in the corner of my mind in 2007, it made an excellent candidate for hosting whatever my chase was at the time, offering both blogging and general website templates. It was also designed for anyone, and had a strong communal backing. phpBB and forum software itself will be broached at some uncertain date, but for now I began targeting my next domain, thubergooglers.com. A teenage “Uber Googler” (Ryu cheats) – Design was somewhat of a nature – my UI-leanings were always towards the interface, the thing “something that you can hold” as Delta put it in LINKIN PARK’s Meteora...
