So... I'm starting a rental property. Yes, in this economy. 🤷

Yes — “The older I get, the more I realize, I don’t want a busy life. I want a deep life. Slow mornings. Focused work. Calm people. Meaningful progress. Good books. A quiet mind at night. Nothing flashy. Nothing trendy. Just a life that feels good to live. Depth over noise. That'll do.“ Karun Pal

Great choice.

I run a clean inbox and delete older emails. Still a big fan though. Keep up the fight!

Good stuff. Thanks 👍

I'm pretty sure someone forgot to tell George that it is still only February. No need for this summer weather right now.

Working on setting up a dedicated Frigate NVR. Last weekend, I re-structured my switches and vlans in prep for the change

Unraid booting from an SSD? It’s happening. 💿
Ed & Stefano drop the Internal Boot teaser in the new episode of Unleashed. Plus:

✅ 40TB Drives: SMR vs CMR breakdown.
✅ The 2026 RAM shortage impact.
✅ Local AI: Why VRAM is king for your LLMs.

Frigate up and running in a Debian VM! Took a little bit of RTFM and back and forth. The next step is trying detectors. I don't have a Coral TPU, so OpenVino.

Hmm.. not going as planned. My attempt to use CasaOS was not the easy way. I have to now find the admin password that was generated. Guess I'll be going straight docker on this one.

5GbE is such an odd include. Still a pretty neat little set up.

Ordered an Amcrest camera. Time to set up a frigate nvr and see if I can watch some squirrels. #homelab #cctv #selfhost

Same for me. I was looking through documentation on adding microcode and saw the reference.

Why did I just now upgrade to PVE 9? I'm falling behind the times.

Just swapped over from #Tailscale to #Netbird. Netbird installation was easy enough and working as well. The next plan is to #selfhost on Proxmox as LXC. What are your thoughts on Netbird?

I may have to try VSCodium. Lately, I have been on an anti Microsoft kick.

I'm on my 3rd glass of wine and it's not even dinner time. Going to be a long day.

Blueberry lemon cheesecake, wine, and #Midsomer Murders. A great way to spend the holiday week. 😁

I've set up so many IP groups today.. I'm tempted to just let my network run wild. 😵
