My homelab consists of 4 machines currently. When choosing them I tried to be energy conscious - using hardware which would not consume too much electrical power, while still trying to maintain the up-front cost low. These are mostly older systems and I was unable to find decent power consumption numbers for them.

I’ve been using Umami analytics on this blog for quite some time now. I self host an instance on my homelab. I spent a bit of time researching self-hosted analytics and generally they had a few issues. First, I’d like the analytics platform to be privacy focused. No cookies, GDPR compliant, no PII. Umami checks this mark. Second, many of the alternatives had quite a bit of hardware resource overhead once hosted. They would either consume a ton of memory, the cpu usage would be high or req...| Dizzy zone
After reading the technicalwriting.dev post on embeddings I thought to myself - this seems like something that I can implement quite quickly and would serve as a good starting point for some hands on experience with machine learning. I want to start small, so something as simple as filling the related posts section of this blog seems like an ideal candidate to get my hands dirty. This blog is made with Hugo and uses the related content feature which provides a list of related posts based on t...| Dizzy zone
When you install TrueNAS SCALE your NAS runs a Netdata. You can verify that by executing systemctl status netdata in the TrueNAS shell. I use Netdata to monitor my homelab and have a parent set up for long term metric storage. I’d love to configure the NAS to also push metrics to a parent, so that I can access them all from a single place. Normally, if you want to set up streaming in Netdata it’s enough to edit /etc/netdata/stream.conf. However, I wouldn’t recommend doing this on a True...| Dizzy zone
I’ve recently had my birthday and as a gift decided to give myself a NUC. The intention here is that I could replace the old laptop running Jenkins and Grafana with something that’s a bit more silent and in a smaller form factor. Note that I’m not affiliated with any of the hardware manufacturers in any way shape or form. The planned change The laptop I’ve been using for Jenkins has become rather critical for this blog and a few side projects I’ve got. This meant that I first needed...| Dizzy zone
