Here it is: my first homelab🎉
Here it is: my first self-built little server!
I finally got around to setting up my first little home server! 🎉 I repurposed an old HP laptop and installed Ubuntu Server LTS on it. Nothing fancy: 8 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and a 1 TB Seagate Barracuda HDD connected externally. Right now, I’m...

From a Bare-Metal SFF Firewall to a Full 22U Rack: My Homelab Infrastructure Journey
A few months ago, I posted my bare-metal HP EliteDesk 800 G5 OPNsense build here.
The feedback, discussions, and advice from this community were incredible and taught me a ton. Since then, the lab has evolved beyond desktop shelves. I wanted to build a proper, structured environment to practice...

PocketID with normies
How did you guys introduce family and friends to PocketID?
Did you point them to a normie friendly guide for setting up passkeys? Are there things you recommend setting up from my end to make it easier on them? Logging in on Windows requires a webcam, fingerprint scanner or alternatively a...

Self Hosted Version of Momento All
I'm pretty shooting a long shot here but I figured I would ask.
This app "Momento: Live Events" is a fantastic way to track things you've been to, special events you've attended, etc. I am hoping to find a self hosted version. I suppose I could just make a Joplin Notebook and store these items...
If you ignore all the cabling this is actually pretty decent
Thought I'd share the lab that's been running mostly problem free for a couple years now.
For the smart home, there's an aqara m3 hub for thread, HAgreen with zigbee/wave dongles, and the Xsense base for our smoke alarms. All of which have been rock solid. Marantz nr1711/ps5 live here as they're...
Made my first proto jbod fully assembled
So in the process of making the JBOD, I have reached a new milestone.
I have completed the assembly of all drive slots, and the only part left is making the final version with hot-swapping surge protection and better power delivery. All in all, it's coming together well. I'm not sure if it has...
Funny/Punny names for your hardware
I want to hear your entertaining names or naming conventions you use in your lab.
Mine follow techy puns based on band names such as: ThreadZeppelin - best single-thread performance machine for game servers DepecheNode - general compute host for 'boring' tasks ThinkFloyd - giant virtualisation...

HP 405 G4 overheating and SSD cooking solution seems to be kapton tape
I bought the 405 G4 mini with a 2400ge CPU some time back.
While gaming on it, I noticed the SSD reaching 70°C and idling at exactly same temp as the CPU. Took a close look and noticed that the cooler allows for hot air to circle around in the case instead of extracting case air. Some kapton tape...
