#Proxmox has been running on my #ZimaBlade 2 for a week and everything looks very stable. I’m considering migrating #HomeAssistant from my #raspberrypi #k3s cluster into a Proxmox VM and using the Home Assistant OS Version. Something I need to consider?

After years with #K3S + #RaspberryPi in my #HomeLab, my new #ZimaBoard 2 was a good reason for me to try #Proxmox. First two LXC are already running: #Pihole and #Jellyfin 💪 Next: Backup, #TrueNas and a reverse Proxy, after i have figured out how private networking with Proxmox is working.

Updated to iOS 26 two days ago, and today my battery is down to 20% even with minimal use — this never happened before with my iPhone 16 Pro. Has anyone noticed similar drain after the update? What fixes worked for you? 🔋 #iOS26 #Battery

I requested the PIN for my smart meter 4 weeks ago — still waiting ⏳ #SmartMeter #SmartHome

#ZimaBoard2 arrived yesterday — now I have to find a spot on my packed wall board, and two planned 2,5” SSDs aren’t making it easier #Homelab #Selfhosted

I have installed #iOS26. I don’t like it.

The IR reading head for the smart meter arrived today, so I can continue working on my LoRa smart‑meter reader project. Before that, I need to finish a small maker project with my son. Any guesses what we’re making? #SmartMeter #LoRa #Maker #ESP32 #3DPrinting

What a surprise: Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company. But I assume that this deal won’t bring back Arc back from Maintenance Mode. Looks like the focus of the deal is Dia. #Atlassian #ArcBrowser

I was gifted a voucher for free #merch, but the company shipped all items separately — two of three packages even came from the USA despite the company being based in Germany. I now have to cover roughly 20 € in import fees, including 2 x 7,50 € #DHL handling charges. Joy ruined 😔

I‘ve found my old Windows PC in the closet and booted it just to check what’s stored on it — then I spotted „Cities: Skylines“. That was all it took: tonight’s a short one. 🎮🏙️ #CitiesSkylines #nostalgia #gaming

Backed GL‑iNet’s new Remote KVM on Kickstarter — wondering if it’s a useful tool or just gadget hype. Any real-world experiences with remote KVMs in a HomeLab would be super helpful. #KVM #GLiNet #Kickstarter #HomeLab #Selfhosted

Good Morning ☀️ #coffee #cappucino #Morning

On my way to the yearly dental checkup — pretty sure I’ll hear the reminder that I don’t floss enough. I honestly can’t work out why flossing won’t stick as a habit. #flossing #habits #dentalcare 🦷

Enjoying the weekend 📖 #weekend #relaxing #reading #ebook #ereader #kobo

Installed #karakeep in my #HomeLab — moving my #Notion links collection over. Loving the #AI auto-tagging. Now stuck on whether to make the service public so I can access it without a VPN or keep it locked down 🤔 #selfhosted

Two-day #hackathon wrap: I built an AI chatbot for our internal app with #n8n + gpt-oss:20b that answers from our FAQ. Local LLMs are impressively solid — can’t wait to see what GPT‑5 brings. #AI #LLM #gptoss #gpt5

JSON or GUI? With Tailscale’s new visual editor, you get both. ✅ Switch between code + visual views ✅ See who has access at a glance ✅ No drift — everything stays in sync Network policy editing, reimagined. Now in beta: tailscale.com/blog/visual-... #ZeroTrust #DevTools #Tailscale

Nice! I like the plugin which shows your „current library loans“. I will check if this will work with my city library to. If note, I need to build it by my own 😬

And the winners are... usetrmnl.com/blog/hackath...

I'm now routing the internet traffic from my #IoT VLAN through a #VPN to hide my IP address. Every few months, I find myself reassessing whether my current measures are sufficient to protect myself and my data. #Privacy #DataProtection #Cybersecurity

The new #TRMNL X is now available for preorder, and I've just placed my order! 💪 I can't wait to get my hands on it.

📰 Just Published! My new post is live: Öffentlicher Zugriff auf Selfhosted Services #Selfhosting #HomeLabDE #CloudflareTunnel #Tailscale #CrowdSec

Motherfucking wind farms…

Good morning ☕️

I initially registered for #Tailscale using my GitHub account, but I'm considering migrating to #PocketID and my own domain. However, I have some concerns about losing access to Tailscale if PocketID becomes unavailable. Even worse, I'm worried about the possibility of unauthorized access. #homelab

I've begun documenting this project to provide everyone with an easy entry point: git.hierl.dev/benny/SmartM... #ESPHome #ESP32 #LoRa #SmartMeter #IoT #SmartHome

Last night turned out to be later than planned 🥱, but it was worth it 💪! My #ESPHome configuration is working well, allowing me to synchronize sensor data from one #ESP32 to another via# LoRa. The next step is to order an IR reading head to read the #SmartMeter. #IoT #SmartHome

I've been testing #Meshtastic to see if I can transmit using #LoRa from my apartment to the basement. The test shows a strong signal strength! The next step is to integrate the apartment node with #MQTT into #HomeAssistant, so I can access the data from the basement in Home Assistant. #SmartHome

I definitely do not want to receive promotional pushes for Bitcoin from my bank, even if they sound „informative“! I'm going to check the push settings right away; this is the second time in two weeks. #Banking #N26

I've just deactivated my #Instagram account after realizing that I've been spending 5-6 hours per week on it over the past few weeks. 🙈 It's time to take a break!

What a successful evening! 💪 Not only did I replace #Authentik with #TinyAuth as the #Traefik Forward Auth Provider, but I also resolved the integration issue between #PocketID and #Beszel. This allowed me to remove Authentik from my #k3s cluster and reclaim some resources. #HomeLab #Selfhosted

Unfortunately, #PocketID doesn't allow me to use it as a #Traefik Auth Middleware out of the box. Today, I came across #TinyAuth, which seems to fill that gap and might allow me to uninstall #Authentik, which is too powerful for my #HomeLab setup. #Selfhosted #OAuth

In these high temperatures, the fan only blows warm air in your face 🥵 Stay healthy and hydrated in these temperatures. #summer #hightemperature #heat #germany #europe

Well, that was easy 😎 Setting up the #TRMNL #EInk display took less than 5 minutes. Super smooth onboarding! 🙌 #Homelab #SmartHome

Mail call! 📦 After weeks of waiting, my #TRMNL #EInk display finally arrived. #MailCall #HomeLab #SmartHome

Planning to document my current #HomeLab setup on my website — a lot has changed over the years. It all started with a 3-node #k3s cluster running on #RaspberryPi 4s. One of them is still in use today as the master node! #SelfHosted #Kubernetes

Done! 💪 Successfully migrated my website from #NuxtJS to #11ty. Now it’s finally time for bed 🛌. In the next few days, I’ll figure out what additional content I like to add to my website. #WebDev #LateNightCoding

Kid’s asleep… time to continue working on my #11ty migration tonight. Let’s see how long this night gets. 😅 #WebDev #SideProject

Getting tickets for the #DieTotenHosen concert was a real test of patience — and a whole lot of F5 smashing. But after 30 minutes, I finally got them! 🙌

Bring back "Launching today" or "Available now" at tech events. "Later this year" kills 100% of the hype.

Am 23. und 24. Mai sind wieder Foto Koch - Foto Tage. Mal sehen ob ich es dieses mal schaffe, an einem Fotowalk teilzunehmen. #Photography www.fotokoch.de/fototage.html

Yay! 🎉 My #TRMNL order is on its way 🚚🚚🚚! I can't wait to get it and play around with it! #SmartHome #IoT

Went through my #backpack collection recently to decide which one to take on my upcoming #vacation trip. I almost picked the #WandrdPrvke again — until I realized that the aqua guards of some zippers are no longer in shape 😔 Looks like the rubber has lost its strength over time. #EDC #Travel #Carry

Heading off on #vacation soon, and I’m facing the dilemma: I want to #carry as little as possible — but I still prefer taking my #Fujifilm #XT3 with the 35mm over the #X100V. Also bringing a few other essentials, so a sling is out. Now the question is: which #backpack do I take? 🤔 #EDC #TravelGear

My channel is officially 2 years old. Thank you for all of your support, it wouldn't have been possible without you. Lots planned for the future!!! https://www.youtube.com/@jims-garage

Second attempt at soldering the #ESP32 to the #mmWave sensor. Everything’s holding this time — but both components ended up a bit damaged. Luckily they are still working. #Maker #IoT #HomeAutomation
