One of our blog posts is a Proxmox VE review from someone who has been virtualizing all of their servers, and says they're very happy with it. It's an older post from the archive, but if you're weighing up a hypervisor for your lab, it's a first-hand take. #homelab

Quick security check for your homelab: patched hosts? Exposed ports reviewed? Unique passwords + MFA? SSH locked down? Takes one evening, saves a nightmare. Which one is your weak spot? 🔒 #infosec #homelab #selfhosted

I know its not new-new but it was a fun experiment.

I've been slacking this week...

Weekend's almost here. Which box in your homelab is about to get your attention, and what are you doing to it? Doesn't matter if it's big or small, we're nosy. Drop it below.

Servers by day, boss fights by night. Nothing resets your brain after a long troubleshooting session like a good game. What’s your go-to game after a rough IT day? 🎮🧙‍♂️ #gaming #ITlife #homelab

Ngl I like the visuals.

New server, blank slate. Before you add fancy dashboards, watch four things first: disk space, memory, CPU load, and whether your key services are actually up. Most outages are a full disk or a dead service. Set an alert on each, then tune after a week of real data.

Hot take: a used mini PC and Docker will teach you more about IT than most courses. Hands-on beats theory. Build it, break it, fix it. Then write down what you learned. #homelab #tech

It's a plan anyways, I re-did my whole setup (still have a bit of work to get it ready).

Fancy a little treasure hunt? The Superuser lab has a root passphrase hidden somewhere in the terminal, and your job is to find it. No setup on your end, just open it and start poking around. Tell us how long it took you and which commands got you there.

Homelab rule #1: if it’s not backed up, it’s not real. Rule #2: test the restore. Rule #3: you will forget rule #2. When did you last test yours? 😅 #homelab #selfhosted #sysadmin

I did some hot fixes, worked on a streaming dashboard for my upcoming streams, worked on a chat app and worked on a bracket system for tournaments.

Monday, coffee in hand. Time for the weekly round: what did your homelab see this weekend? A new service, a swapped drive, a config you finally sorted out? Tell us in a line or two. #homelab

Do I have any friends that play WoW? I haven't played since 2007 and kind of want to start again.

Hey, I’m the guy behind wizardtux and itbible. I build homelabs, break them on purpose, then teach what I learned. Gamer by night, sysadmin brain 24/7. Say hi and tell me what you’re running 🧙‍♂️ #homelab #selfhosted

I'm looking to start streaming again, I just don't like sitting in the basement all the time...

This was driven by some features my kid wanted that he couldn't find in a single bot for free.

Vantage is a community-built Discord bot where you do the setup in a web browser, not by typing chat commands. It handles support tickets, custom commands and channel games. Handy if you run a server and want less fiddling. Built by one of us.

Voters just pushed back on AI data centers in dozens of towns. Meanwhile your homelab sips 30W and runs your own services. Self-hosting isn't just a hobby anymore, it's a skill. 🧙‍♂️ #selfhosted #homelab #tech
