After 90 days running self-hosted Immich instead of Google One for our family photos: what worked, what it actually costs, why your data finally stays on hardware you own, and the honest gaps that are still missing for families, straight from the project's own roadmap and issue tracker.
A sysadmin-grade guide to Docker Sandboxes for AI agents: microVM isolation layers, credential injection that keeps API keys out of the sandbox, sbx secret management, the MCP gateway, and what is not isolated by default.
A sysadmin-grade comparison of Docker Compose and Kubernetes for running many self-hosted apps: where Compose starts to hurt, how k3s changes the calculus, and how rootful Kubernetes is actually secured with RBAC, admission control, securityContext, seccomp, and network policies, and how that differs from rootful Docker.
A practical, sysadmin-grade comparison of Docker and Podman for running many self-hosted apps: Compose vs Quadlet, rootful vs rootless security and host-tool debugging, Watchtower vs podman auto-update, Docker API compatibility, and when Kubernetes is the real answer.
A developer-focused walkthrough of the Systhoughts cron expression playground: build and edit expressions, read plain-English explanations, and inspect next runs on a timeline. Four worked examples, the weekday/dialect/timezone mistakes to avoid, and small challenges to try.
Where tokens actually go when you use AI coding agents, how RTK, Caveman, ccusage, Context7, and Repomix cut the waste, and a simple before/after way to measure what you saved.
A skeptical, source-checked comparison of Mastra 1.55 and Flue 2.0 for TypeScript teams new to agentic AI: mental models, durability, memory, RAG, sandboxes, licenses, local vs hosted tooling, and ten concrete use-case picks.
