Me thinks someone’s got a memory leak in their app! @meshtastic.org

Today is the day I'm doing the actual heavy work of swapping out my old rack for my new one. This won't be interactive, just hang out and watch if you'd like. The actual video will be out in a week or so. Until then, enjoy! Starts at 12PM PDT! youtube.com/live/Og5NfLo...

Old track going out, new track going in!

Server cabinets can also be useful for holding unruly teenagers as well.

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. Video here: youtu.be/NXUKyWIH90c

Friends! I have to bail AGAIN on the live show tonight, so no #homelabhour tonight, sorry :-( I will be in the after-hours hangout thought - Come join me there tonight! We'll be back to the usual schedule next week, I promise!

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. Video here: youtu.be/33Q_POCQcNk

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!

Well, this was a surprise! I'm shocked and humbled at the same time! Thanks to everyone who's a listener! For those who don't, you can find us on your podcast platform of choice! #2guystek #2gtpodcast #buzzsprout #homelab #homelabpodcast

Uh, yeah…I’ll take the Thunderbolt connection, thank you very much! #apple #macbookpro

Curious about #VergeOS, how to install it, and run your first VM? I gotcha covered: youtu.be/El-11ydk-Jo

Not with these RAM prices you're not! 🙄

And our podcast is back after a bit of a long break! www.buzzsprout.com/1852562/epis...

Maaaaan, nostalgia is a hell of a drug! I know I don’t need the exact model of 486SX/25 Packard Bell desktop I had as a kid….but my heart says otherwise!

Hey all, I'm going to bail on the live show tonight. I"ve come down with a head cold and I'm feeling, frankly, like garbage. I apologize for the short notice!

Facebook out here reminding me how good we had it back in 2023! 💀 #RAMprices #homelab

If you're into #homelab, then you're no stranger to ebay and the damage it can do to your wallet! This shirt design was inspired by our Discord community and its ongoing struggle against the EBAY MENACE! Check the link below to get yours! homelabgear.shop/products/the...

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 #UniFi #HomeLab #EFG #UDMProMax #NetworkEngineering

Maybe it’s time for a little cable management, don’t you think?

Free tonight? Say...around 5 PM PST/8 PM EST/1 AM GMT? Come hang out with @lawrencesystems.com and me in a live stream! We'll talk #homelab, #hypervisors, your questions, and more! youtube.com/live/GFXRqkp...

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

For those of you who watched the live show on Tuesday, round two! Here’s hoping there are no more engineering failures.

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!

The winner of the 3D-Printed MEGA Homelab Server has been selected, and we'll be reaching out to them here shortly! Thank you all for participating and helping us make this the most successful giveaway we've ever done! From myself, Branden, and Jon - you guys are awesome!

We're in the home stretch of the 2GuysTek 3D-Printed MEGA Homelab Server! If you haven't entered, you have 40 hours left to do so! GO HERE: gleam.io/DjOtO/2guyst...

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. Watch here: youtu.be/aYKi6X3D8Ww

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! www.dell.com/en-us/blog/n...

Tonight on the live show, I'll be joined by the brilliant Tom Lawrence! Come hang out, chat about #Homelab, ask questions, and geek out! 5:30 PM PDT here: youtube.com/live/SEYbBqD...

It's Saturday! What #homelab projects are you working on? Me? I'm trying to get HPE Morpheus actually figured out...It's...challenging.

Interesting issue today: Ubuntu's security/patching servers are offline, which means you can't install #Ubuntu if you have an active network connection on the VM/system since it tries to download updates as part of the install. The answer: Disconnect the NIC, and your install completes from the CD!

Our giveaway of the 3D-printed MEGA #Homelab and #selfhosting server is live! Go here to get entered: gleam.io/DjOtO/2guyst... GOOD LUCK!

It's been a hot minute since we've built a custom homelab server! This time we're going all out with a one-of-a-kind build inside of an INCREDIBLE #3dprinted case! 👉 youtu.be/XLogn6B45GY Who else is printing parts for their servers/racks? #homelab #selfhosting #3Dprinting

It's been nearly a year since my video on VergeIO's virtualization platform, #VergeOS. A lot has changed in a year, and I've been curious to see how things have been going for Verge, what's new in their platform, and where the #homelab version of VergeOS is! youtu.be/0zWnI5GCjEc

If you see me at PAX West say ‘Hi’!

Hey all, sorry for the late notice! Once again, I've been a terrible scheduler, and I've been double-booked. I'm attending a security conference in PDX that will make doing the live show impossible tomorrow. We'll be back NEXT week though!

Who has two thumbs and lost a ton of broll for the next video due to disk failure? THIS GUY!

This 3D-Printed case is INSANE! Be sure to check out the video coming soon! #3Dprinting #MODCASE #homelab #selfhosting

We’re headed to Seattle for the Penny Arcade Expo - PAX West - next weekend! I’ll be wearing my 2GT hat, if you see me say Hi! I’m particularly interested in seeing what Framework brings to the show this year, they’re a newcomer to PAX! #pax #paxwest #pennyarcadeexpo

The LCMD MicroServer + AI Pod just raised the bar for self-hosting gear. Secure. Purpose-built. Beautifully engineered. One for your services, one for your AI. I’ve never unboxed anything like it—video’s up now. youtu.be/8Us6BWUaxh8 #sponsored #homelab #selfhosting #techunboxing #AI

I guess I’ll just wait until the game comes out….😤

If anyone is wondering what real customer service looks like, this is it. Firmware pushed and my little TRMNL display died, the company made it right without any hassle. Thank you, @usetrmnl.com, you’re the real MVP!

One year ago, I ditched VMware and went all-in on a 45Drives Proxinator VM16 running Proxmox. It runs everything now—my business, homelab, media. One year later: How did it hold up? What do I think of it now? 🎥 Watch: youtu.be/mt4nQY3YXK0 #Proxmox #Proxinator #45Drives #IT

I’m doing some planning and want to get your input— What brands, products, or technologies are you really into right now? Hardware, software, tools, services — if it’s caught your attention, I want to know about it. I’m building a list and want to make sure it reflects what you care about.

Is building your own home server still worth it? We think so! This is the Minis Forum BD790i X3D MiniITX board we’ll be reviewing and building soon! This thing is sick!

Going live tonight with the great Tom Lawrence! 5:30 PM PDT, catch it here: youtube.com/live/6fNktaU...

What started as a random idea in a past video turned into one of the weirdest #NAS builds I’ve ever done. It’s unconventional, kinda impractical… BUT IT WORKS! Built with eBay spare parts and TrueNAS, "FrankeNAS" actually came together. youtu.be/2NpsTzxBQS4 #homelab #TrueNAS #selfhosting #DIYtech

#FrankenNAS is coming along swimmingly! For those of you who’ve been following along, case design is (almost) done, and I’ll soon have the video out!
