Self-hosting is having a moment, even if it's hard to define exactly what it is. It's a niche that goes beyond regular computing devices and networks but falls short of a full-on home lab. (Most home labs involve self-hosting, but not all self-hosting makes for a home lab.) It adds privacy, provides DRM-free alternatives, and reduces advertising. It's often touted as a way to get more out of your network-attached storage (NAS), but it's much more than just backup and media streaming. Is self-h

Convenient LLMs at Home I’ve been wanting to experiment with LLMs in my homelab, but didn’t want the overhead of a dedicated GPU machine or the slowness of CPU processing. I also wanted everything to be convenient long-term: updates needed to be automated, and if the OS dies rebuilding needed to be quick and easy, etc. Running NixOS with WSL on my gaming PC seemed like the perfect solution, but I kept running into several challenges: Concerns of my vram getting locked to LLMs WSL would shut
