You want a network that keeps pace as you add services, NAS backups, and multiple virtual machines—and the best switches for home lab choice early on saves hours of rework later. We often see upgrades center on dual 10g sfp+ uplinks, multi‑gig 2.5G access, and PoE to power APs and cameras without extra adapters. In […]
You want to virtualize OpenWRT in Proxmox to run a compact router VM that handles LAN and WAN traffic without extra hardware, and I’ll show a clean, repeatable path to get you there. I’ll walk you through picking the correct x86_64 image, why you must gunzip before resizing or importing, and the practical difference between […]
If you want reliable home lab eBPF monitoring that mirrors production observability, you’re in the right place—we’ll show a practical approach that gives kernel-level visibility without changing every application. We use tools like Grafana Beyla and OpenTelemetry to surface network and app behavior directly from the linux kernel. That means quick wins: zero-code visibility for […]
You want a resilient wireless system that just works — and the OpenWRT mesh network setup can give you that control without cloud locks. We’ll walk you through a practical, end-to-end journey that explains which packages to install, how to assign roles for gateway and satellites, and when to use the web interface versus SSH. […]
