    • homelab and self hosting arent always “exactly” the sane thing. lab implies testing and experimentation. its purpose is to learn. but i think you are really asking about self hosing so…

    first, ypu seemed to focus on media streaming in your post. to adress tgat one point, i have an entire family watching on phones and tvs (mostly tvs). i have jellyseer setup so they can even request.

    BUT… that’s only one part. i have a minipc running opnsense. i have another on running proxmox. on that proxmox,

    • jellyfin, with radarr, sonarr, jellyseer, and gluetun
    • home assisstant os
    • unifi os to manage my network.
    • soon i sm adding unifi cameras with protect so i can get off blink.
    • an app called glanceapp which is a feed dashboard (not the monitor app glance) https://github.com/glanceapp/glance
    • next cloud to replace m365 or google
    • netbird to vpn in
    • pteradactyl to host game servers

    i also have a ugreen box running truenas

    today on this community, i learned about searxng , which i will setup very soon





  • i am also a software developer and at a very large company and we use enterprise subs for ai. i use claude pro at home. its very good. i didnt say it wasnt good. i said it its replacing anyone. certain jobs will go away but news one will be available. like every yech transition. i am not onle a software dev but i am also 50 years old. i have seen a few transitions.

    AlSO… bad title aside the reporters main points were about keeping power out if big tech companies, which i agree with. i also.think ai used by most people will be local soon.
