Want remote access to your homelab without exposing everything? I set up OpenVPN Access Server with DCO for faster speeds and per-user access rules, so each person only reaches the services they need. youtu.be/ztcyZ6l-z64 #homelab #selfhosting #openvpn

For the past few months I've had my social media posting mostly automated: n8n runs FreshRSS feeds through an AI agent to quickly explain what was in the update that was just released by any number of developers. I use a couple of specific hashtags to get the posts noticed and it works pretty well.

This is the current state of my #homelab / #Promxox boot drive, so that's awesome. I'm doing a full check on a new drive that I will replace this failing drive with, but it's gonna take several more hours to finish the test. Happy Friday and welcome to #selhosting

Today's my 45th birthday. Rachel and I got a babysitter for tomorrow so we're gonna watch a movie, play some arcade games, and have a few drinks. If you want to chip in for the going out fund, here's how: dbte.ch/45bday No pressure. Just a link if you feel like it.

Neon-style graphic reading "It's My Birthday," a large gradient "45," and "Going Out Fund," with movie, joystick, and cocktail emoji at the top. Text below reads: "Babysitter: booked. Tomorrow night: movie, arcade, and drinks with my wife. Chip in any way you'd like." A glowing pill button shows the link dbte.ch/45bday, with "Every little bit is appreciated" beneath it.

Nuke your entire homelab, keep only 5 apps. What survives? I tried it, and my picks will probably make you mad (yes, Plex, even right now). Still can't decide one thing though: does remote access count as an app, or is it a freebie? #homelab #selfhosting youtu.be/gk24B_DKHHE

If you HAVE to pick 5, what makes the cut?

David @dbt3.ch · 04/06/2026

My top 5 homelab apps are picked. Home Assistant didn't make it. I know. I built half my house around it. I'll explain. #homelab #selfhosting #challenge youtu.be/gk24B_DKHHE

ICYMI - I made a video picking my 5 essential homelab apps and then realized at the end I can't actually count to 5. Remote access broke my brain. App or freebie? You decide. #homelab #selfhosting #challenge youtu.be/gk24B_DKHHE
