A hobbyist's blog of home-lab experiments: a local AI song-generation pipeline (Tuneage) running on integrated GPUs, and a LoRa radio mesh setup using Reticulum and an RNode. Posts are detailed, first-person, and include concrete configs, measurements and hardware constraints.
Noted reviews self-hosted and open-source software for homelabs, with each issue walking through a specific tool, how it works, and how to deploy it. Readers get practical setup guidance, design trade-offs, and an honest look at the maintenance burden that comes with running your own services.
Short, first-person security notes covering newly disclosed vulnerabilities, patch targets and incident write-ups. Each issue gives the affected versions, who is exposed and a concise list of actions to take.
