I do what I can

At some point I decided I wanted to get into the 10″ home lab rack bandwagon.

I heavily use Visual Studio Code both professionally and for my personal projects.

I’m planning to downsize, so I guess this is as good time as any to document the current state of my home lab.

A while ago I had issues with enabling secure boot with Talos Linux on a Framework Desktop, so I posted a blog about it.

A couple of weeks ago I acquired 3 x Lenovo M720Q Tiny, which I wanted to add as extra nodes to my home lab Talos Linux Kubernetes cluster.

For about two months I’ve been running ollama and llama.cpp on a Talos Linux Kubernetes cluster, on top of a desktop PC with the AMD Strix Halo CPU (AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395).

I’ve been following Michael Meier’s saga on Mastodon, where he’s trying to figure out how to properly monitor his Kubernetes certificates.

I recently received my Framework Desktop, and I wanted to install Talos Linux on it.

In this post I will demonstrate how I configured Renovate to run on my self-hosted Forgejo runners, so I can automatically track updates on my home lab applications.

In this post I will show you how to configure a very simple service called smtp-pushover, which does nothing more than simply convert an email message into a notification to be sent to your phone via Pushover.
