The Detector Was Never Looking
A neural network running at 5.8 milliseconds an inference, pointed at a room with cats in it, that had never once detected a cat.

It runs in a container on one of the cluster nodes, it does object detection on that node’s integrated GPU, and it is fast: 5.84 milliseconds per inference, sitting at about 6% of what the detector can do. Person events come in with confidence scores between 0.73 and 0.93, which is healthy.

I Built a Dashboard for the Things I Actually Check
Five separate logins became one page. The interesting part was how often I turned out to be wrong.
I check five things regularly: whether the homelab is healthy, my portfolio, my health trend, whatever trip is coming up, and my to-do list. Each one lived somewhere different. Each had its own login. None of them talked to each other. I have to go looking for information by opening a browser, going to my bookmarks page and finding the right tile to click:

Homelab 1.0: Compute, Storage, and Power
I’m back for my annual update on the state of my home network (state-of-the-network?)
This year, I’ve gone in at the deep-end with a full 3-node Proxmox cluster for compute, and expanded from 2 to 3 storage servers.
