man, I am feeling today.

A year ago, I had my stroke. I am probably about 90% back. I want to thank My Ex, my son, Alan, Richard, Jeff and Avanti for helping me. That was a hard period. The cane is with me permanent, but hey, if I have to use one, then I will make it me. Thanks again for the prayers and good Karma.

When we shut down, I started a java world. I use to post to my main account. This new video is a year of work. It was great recovery... youtu.be/quMe6z0IKJY

Me Mini from Beelink is up and running. I got rid the CWWK M1 (N100). I happy with how the challenge came out...

I thought I could make a better media pc, from what I have instead of buying something new...yeah right

I do listen to comments... www.youtube.com/shorts/0LE7T...

I stopped at MicroCenter to check on getting another Raspberry Pi. I had to say, “No thanks.” A Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM is now $120. It went from $75 → $92 → $120. No small boards for me for a long time.

As someone that uses Kernel Virtual Machines (KVM) for many yes, this is really cool. www.phoronix.com/news/Virtual...

Just wanted to see can I use the same SD for Raspberry 5 with 500+. Yes, yes I can. youtube.com/shorts/FuGke...

I am so glad I bought the Raspberry Pi 500+ when I did. I got a ton of stuff for $210 dollars. Now to compare it to the 500.

I posted the article from Raspberry Foundation about thr price increase for ram, @jeffgeerling.com posted this on LinkedIn it's a great way to show the price increase coming...

Shouldn't be up, but I am. Took a nap that ended up beeping a full night sleep. Now I am up, might as well work on my home lab. My support now to keen on helping

More pain coming... www.raspberrypi.com/news/more-me...

Snowed most of the day, it's now 16F. Let's warm up with my favorite tea. Thai Tea.

Access to my #homelab. Simple to setup. Simple to use. GL.iNet Remote KVM w/Tailscale. I even can access my Jellyfin remotely, and I DON'T have to pay. youtube.com/shorts/zuRNN...

So work is changing. I am trying to stay positive. Plus, AI making hard for me to work projects I wanted to work on. Back to do what was making me happy, my Home Lab, Learning, and making context. youtube.com/shorts/4aOvm...

Back to Back meetings. I needed this sweet and fun exercise. I setup Tailscale first. Then I set up GL.iNet KVM, turn on Tailscale. Now, I can access my VLAN 3 network remotely, and access a node, via KVM.

Sick as well as me, get because I am pup. LOL. We got a Ice Storm coming, I am hoping the power stays on, lucky me the beagles should be ok. This weekend, video editing.

Since storage and ram are so expensive, time for me focus on Raspberry Pico

Another device to learn because of the pc price hike, esp32.

I got super lucky, found a Raspberry 500+, so much cheaper than Amazon. Thank you Microcenter for not jacking the price up on this...

I just showed String Bean "Pretty in Pink", she liked it. I love sharing my pass with my kinds. Also, great sound track.

I am going to do quarterly reports about things for my channel. I am hoping prices get back to normal soon. AL bubble not helping the start of my 2026. youtu.be/a6wIXnf0bMA

A better pix of me, no product in the mustache. Took two months to train. Still looking for a gray cowboy hat. FYI, Three weeks ago, I only could see white with small black dots. Now, I can see some colors and shapes. I would say I have 30% of my vision back. Thanks for the prays and good karma.

Still dealing with my eye. I look like a Bond Villian. I have also been replacing movies I lost on this hard drive. I love physical media. I did lose 10 DVD's to disc rotten.

WTF! This time last year, I got the same SSD's for $90. Now it's more than twice the price I paid. Ugh.

Another retro unit. Video coming...

A couple of months ago, I lost 18TB drive with my DVD/BluRays. Since I am not feeling well, might as well re-rip and dust.

2026 looking dark for building PC. What do you think?

I got a Pi for Christmas, so I got a cool case. youtube.com/shorts/OzWOP...

Remember when Raspberry Pi 5 8 gig was $75, yeah good times. @jeffgeerling.com did warn us

I wasn't being Don Quixote, I saw this coming.

Yes, please.

Snoopy not wanting any part of the selfie, just chilling at Da House

Working on the weekend, life in IT

www.tweaktown.com/news/109337/... Next year, I think being a home lab’er is going to be tough. Memory prices have gone crazy, and SSDs are right behind them. Vendors—understandably—have started passing those increases along. I really have to rethink next year projects.

Adding a PCIe Storage for real to my Zimablade. youtu.be/qZMSY5gucdw

Knock on wood ( Me knocking on my head). 24 hours since the brown out. It seem to back up. I did see Santa while I when out to get Root Beers, I should have asked him for a stable home lab and Gray Cowboy Hat.

A bad Saturday Morning. F'in Brownouts. Anyway, not everything video contain creators home lab is "Rainbow and kittens" as you see. Backup! Notes! These will help you get your homelab back up. youtu.be/fwKjHeD41u8

I have a few virtual server, don't ya think

Debian 13, Trixie is beautiful and different. I can't wait until it mainline on Small board Computers. I have upgraded on of my VDI on my main Proxmox, that I use to manage three VLANs.

This why I made my video yesterday. I was able to get 2TB back in August, for $116. Now... This is just example because this is one NVMe maker.

How many content creators are effected by "The AI Bubble"? youtu.be/ATJBtfmGVPE

Nine months since my stroke, today gonna go out with string bean, watch Five Nights at Freddy 2. No cane. Gonna try. How do I look?

Sometimes I am jealous of these two. A dogs life...

I tell everyone I living Charlie Brown, I have the tree to prove it.

Today is Thanksgiving. I am very thankful this year for the fact that I am still alive. I have recovered to a point where I feel almost normal. I am very thankful that I can be with my family. I am grateful to be back at work. I am also grateful that I can continue my homelab.

I am cleaning up my house. Working on videos. Happy Thanksgiving.

Please AI, may I have a NMVe?
