A personal technical blog-style newsletter documenting homelab and Proxmox troubleshooting, hardware experiments and storage design. Readers get detailed, first-person write-ups of what broke, why, and how it was fixed.

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.

Arctian is a personal newsletter from a homelab enthusiast covering developer tools, self-hosting, and detailed write-ups of technical problems. Recent issues cover using an AI agent to triage a certificate authority compromise across a homelab, a podcast appearance about a mobile testing tool, and how to keep a discontinued Drobo NAS running after its vendor's servers went offline.
