  1. I call my homelab bitfrost.lan. It's a play on bifrost in Norse methology about the rainbow bridge. So when I started my local LLM project, I naturally called it bitfrost. AI. Unfortunately, that is a real site, not related to me at all. I'm now calling my project PangeaHills. I'm retiring soon to the North Georgia foothills. The Appalachian Mountains are the ancient remants created when Pangea was formed. Thus, PangeaHills. Happy Geeking. #homelab #geek #pangeahillsAI

  2. Another RAG-to-Riches story.
    …ok, not really — I’m just an average homelab goblin who accidentally reinvented a thing the real AI folks probably solved 3 years ago. 😂

    But I call it policy-driven RAG:
    where rules, not model weights, decide when my local LLM answers from the doc corpus and when it’s allowed to use general knowledge.

    Basically:
    “Stay in your lane unless I say otherwise.”
    RAG for homelab stuff
    LLM for the wider world
    Never phones home

    Might be old hat to the pros, but it absolutely blew my geek mind that it actually works.

  7. Built something fun in the lab: PangeaHills.ai, my own locally-hosted, policy-driven RAG + LLM stack.
    Completely offline, totally self-contained, powered by a bunch of noisy equipment pretending to be a cloud. 😄

    The neat part? It’s rule-driven, not weight-driven:
    • Homelab questions must stay inside the RAG universe.
    • General topics only switch to model knowledge when my routing rules explicitly allow it.
    • The LLM never “guesses” when to leave RAG — it follows policies, not vibes.

    Feels like having an AI that actually stays in its lane because you built the lane lines yourself. 🚧🤖

  12. Proof-of-concept:
    I ran Glances inside Apple’s new native container runtime on macOS 26 — I call it Gamur (Icelandic for “container”).
    Even cooler: Gamur Glances monitors Docker Glances.
    Apple nailed this.
