THE COMPLETE ARCHIVE
Every published transmission from the lab — deep dives, experiments, and honest constraints.
A practical, measured look at running local language models on a Raspberry Pi 5: which model sizes and quantization levels are realistic, what power and thermal limits to expect, and when a mini-PC is the better call.
How to introduce VLANs into a small homelab without turning a hobby network into an unmaintainable maze — plus the recovery steps for when segmentation locks you out.
Building home observability on Raspberry Pi without drowning the SD card: what to collect, what to skip, and how to keep the stack lighter than the workloads it watches.
A measurement-first look at running local language models at home: where quantization helps, what power draw actually looks like, and when the cloud still wins.
