Thinking of pulling my externally hosted services into my own basement.

What's everybody's favourite way to put a container on the Internet without giving it LAN access?

So Backblaze now has an MCP.

I'll just sit here waiting for "the AI deleted my files AND my backups" kind of news. 🤷

Couldn't be more proud 😊

Finally got MAS working on my Synapse server yesterday, the migration was well documented, even if that still felt like a convoluted step to go through, especially when taking into account bridges and their encryption

But now everything is working, and I found out my phone calls were not working because of some ingress miss configuration, not because of some MAS missing feature...

Went through my phone apps to see which ones I'm using regularly / daily and set up recurring donations for the ones I did not have them.

1. DAVx5
Sort of the fabric of my digital family life. Syncing all those important appointments, contacts and what not.
@davx5app
https://www.davx5.com/

2. Tasks.org
Best app for me to manage my todo- and grocery lists.
https://tasks.org/

3. CoMaps
Well, you got me with having the Walensee and Churfirsten on your landing page 🤗. My maps app for at home and abroad. Always getting better.
@CoMaps

4. ntfy.sh
Monitoring of my lab and Fediverse instances does not make sense, when you do not get the alerts where you want to have them. Ntfy delivers them neatly and reliably on my phone.
@ntfy
https://ntfy.sh

All these subscriptions are nicely listed in my selfhosted Wallos installation (https://github.com/ellite/Wallos), made by Henrique (https://henrique.pt). He does not want donations for Wallos, instead he would likeyou to donate to the Red Cross (https://www.icrc.org/en/how-you-can-support-us) or Doctors without Borders (https://www.msf.org) instead.

In case you are able to, please support your favorite apps / developers. Without them we would be stuck with large corporations with all the downsides.

Frigate 0.18.0 RC2 is here with CUDA graph fixes for NVIDIA GPUs, iOS 27 playback improvements, and multi-provider GenAI support. Back up your config before testing this one. #selfhosted #homelab

https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/releases/tag/v0.18.0-rc2

wanted a minimal #LLM/ #AI #proxy service
but all the popular ones have so much overhead

so i had one built 😬

- compiles into a Go binary
- docker container uses ~3.5MB
- 5MB RAM when idle
- starts in millisecs

perfect for #selfhosted & #homelab

Part 2 of training my tiny GPT model, Alan, on the computer under my desk: https://robrohan.com/2026/09/08/building-small-ai-models-gpt-part-2.html - I am slightly worried about my power bill this month.

Appo, my 2012 Mac mini, needs a job. It draws too much power at idle to be a substitute for a SBC like a Raspberry Pi in a project, so it needs to actually DO something when it's powered on.

It's too slow to run macOS, and its max display resolution is 1920x1200. It runs Linux fine, but it's not exactly a speed demon. It would be fine as a server, but I don't need one of those either.

What started as just redoing some cables around my desk turned in to a whole home office rearrangement (I share the space with our dining room). What I thought was going to be a half hour of moving and labeling a few cables turned in to 6 hours of rearrangement, cleaning, and throwing out junk. Went up and down the basement stairs 24 times according to my watch. But, I think I’m cool with the results.

Jellyfin 12.0 is here with major database changes and performance improvements. Back up before upgrading and remove plugins first. Direct upgrades from 10.10.7 and 10.11.x are supported. #selfhosted #homelab

So the next step is now looking at the Prometheus and TSDB code to see whether I can reasonably easily write a tool which tells me from a block on disk which metrics use the largest amount of storage. From reading the TSDB architecture notes it sounds possible, but sadly the TSDB golang package doesn't have any direct way to get at something like "size of metric in block on disk". And it doesn't look like anybody has done this before.

There's even a solution for the issue merged into Prometheus: github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/14477

It's hidden behind a feature flag though. And that's a problem, because I'm actually using Thanos to store my large amount of metrics. And while that does implement PromQL, it doesn't implement all the experimental features. Including this one. 🫤

I had tried to get a table with all of the metrics sorted by ingest rate, with a query looking like this:

topk(10, count_over_time({__name__!=""}[1m]))

But sadly, that didn't work. Threw a "vector cannot contain metrics with the same labelset" error. There's even an issue about that exact thing: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/11397

1/x

#HomeLab #Prometheus

All of the dropped metrics had around 10k cardinality, due to having labels for every Kubernetes manifest kind, both core and CRD, a hell of a lot of buckets and every HTTP method. Cut my per-minute ingest rate by about 26%.

It remains to be seen how large the impact on the on-disk size is. Now have to wait for the next full 2 day block after the change to compare to the block I fetched on Sunday.
