My homelab will never be the same after AI YouTube video by 2GuysTek

After over 70+ comments requesting we release #Mikrotik Manager, we've finally got it up on GitHub!

For those of you who haven't seen the video, check here: youtu.be/NXUKyWIH90c. For those of you who want to try it, find the project here: github.com/2GT-Media-Gr...

I think one of the worst parts of having ADHD is that when 'inspiration' hits, there's little you can do to really break free of it. Try as I might, even if I walk away from a project, my brain is still there working over ideas/problems/solutions/etc. It's a real bitch tbh.

I vibecoded a Mikrotik network management platform from scratch. Not only does it work, but it works well. Building this thing messed with my head. I'm not here to tell you AI is good or bad. I'm here to tell you what I actually experienced and where I landed.

Every Homelab Should Be Running Kasm Workspaces. Are You?
Every Homelab Should Be Running Kasm Workspaces. Are You? YouTube video by 2GuysTek

Most people hear "VDI" and assume it means expensive, complex, and enterprise-only. Kasm Workspaces blows that assumption apart. Sandboxed browsers, on-demand Linux desktops, RDP through your browser — all running in your homelab, completely free.

Hey friends! Tomorrow's #homelab hour stream has to be canceled due to some commitments that conflict with the start time. Fear not, though, we'll still do the #2GT After-hours hangout in the community discord at the usual time, so join us for some fun and catch up there!

Is the UniFi EFG Worth the Premium Price?
Is the UniFi EFG Worth the Premium Price? YouTube video by 2GuysTek

Is the UniFi Enterprise Fortress Gateway really worth over 2× the cost of the UDM Pro Max? I put both gateways into the same production network and ran real throughput testing and uncovered some interesting results! youtu.be/BvZWUHGZqMk

Setting Up MicroCloud at Home is Easier Than You Think!
Setting Up MicroCloud at Home is Easier Than You Think! YouTube video by 2GuysTek

I built a full private cloud in my homelab using #Canonical #MicroCloud. LXD + MicroCeph + MicroOVN in one stack. Honest review: setup, scaling, UI, and deploying instances. If you want an easier alternative to OpenStack/K8s, this is worth a look. youtu.be/Pna4QINqo_Y #homelab #ubuntu #privatecloud

Am I a TRAITOR to pfSense?! The Switch to UniFi UDM Pro Max! YouTube video by 2GuysTek

After years of running #pfsense, I finally did the unthinkable… I switched. In this video, I walk you through my entire thought process. From defining my network requirements, to comparing the #Netgate 8200 and the #Ubiquiti #UniFi UDM Pro Max, and finally making the move. youtu.be/qG-Borg0wAY

No live show tonight! 😭

Due to a schedule conflict this afternoon, the live show won't be happening. But! I will still be doing the after-show starting at ~6:30 in Discord! Sorry for the short notice, we'll be back next week for sure!

I had hoped for more spontaneous cooperation between groups to take down the big robots. So far this just feels like Tarkov with robots.

Building the ‘Good VMware’: The new Scale Computing with Jeff Ready YouTube video by 2GuysTek

When Acumera announced it was acquiring Scale Computing, it was big news, especially in the wake of #Broadcom’s acquisition of #VMware and the ensuing changes they made. I reached out to Jeff Ready, President and CMO, to get the scoop on the new company.

New Chapter in Choice: Dell PowerStore Coming to Nutanix | Dell Discover how Dell PowerStore integrates with Nutanix Cloud Platform to deliver unmatched flexibility, performance, and scalability. Learn about this game-changing collaboration today!

Dell announced PowerStore support in Nutanix. I expected this would happen as Nutanix opens up more 3-tier storage providers (Pure Storage being the first*). That said, Dell wasn't who I had on my bingo card next for support, but either way - this is great news!
