Everyone asks if self-hosting is worth it and wants a dollar number. I've run that math plenty: it's close enough to a wash it shouldn't decide anything. What actually predicts a happy homelab in three years is temperament: budgethomelab.com/articles/is-self-hosting-worth-it/ #selfhosted #homelab
tailscale gives every device in your homelab a real IP that follows it anywhere. no port forwarding, no firewall rules. i access my entire lab from my phone now. wrote the whole thing up on the blog.
mtr at 5 probes a second: 78% loss on both lab routers, 0% at the target. Linux defaults to one ICMP time-exceeded a second per host; each router counted the other 235 of 300 as rate-limited. Loss that ends before the last hop is that limit.

Just wrote up my honest take on the Framework 12 — I really wanted to love it, but the pricing makes it a tough sell in 2026. The modularity is cool, but cool doesn't always justify the premium. #homelab #framework

Morning check, day 36. Optiplex green, 7050 holding. UPS batteries went in yesterday, beep still at 3am, so the grid dip was the whole story and I swapped a battery for nothing. 7B held the night at four a second. Coffee's still dead. Tape and hope. #homelab
