I gave Claude Cowork access to my Home Assistant config, and it unlocked automations I didn't know were possible

Ever have writer's block for creating automations? Now you don't

I finally started using Duplicati and I should have sooner

The backup tool I should have embraced ages ago

Running Proxmox on my ASUS NUC 14 Pro Plus taught me where mini PCs still fall short

It’s a capable Proxmox node, but running it as a home lab server shows it should be a piece of the puzzle, not the whole solution.

I stopped choosing between IDEs and built a hybrid workflow that uses the best of VS Code, Cursor, and Google Antigravity

The IDE war is over.

My UGREEN DXP4800 Pro NAS quietly replaced half my home lab, and I didn’t expect that

My UGREEN NAS became more than storage once Jellyfin, DNS, and remote access services moved in.

Treating Claude Code as just a coding tool is like using a Swiss Army knife to open cans

The terminal assistant you paid for can do a lot more than coding.

I added a second Ethernet port to my NAS and finally stopped fighting network slowdowns

Unleashing the full potential of your NAS.

I ditched Copilot on VS Code for this free extension, and it's miles ahead

It's completely self-hosted, too!

Discord's voice and video calls just got much more secure, but it's still leaving text messages exposed

At least it's something.

Deepin's security problems just cost it another major Linux distro

That's two distros down.
