A tour of OneHub, my 23-container self-hosted server, and Mia Tracker — the custom app that lets AI analyze my daughter’s data without a single byte leaving my hardware. Should I open-source it?
Learn how to set up Traefik v3 as a reverse proxy for your homelab Docker stack. Covers automatic HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt, Docker service discovery via labels, reusable middleware, wildcard certs via DNS challenge, and common troubleshooting steps.
A practical deep dive into STP and RSTP on Cisco IOS-XE — root bridge election, port roles, PortFast, BPDU Guard, Root Guard, Loop Guard, and step-by-step troubleshooting with real CLI show command output.
Build a probe-verified dual-ISP failover system on Cisco IOS-XE using IP SLA and Object Tracking. When your primary ISP loses internet connectivity — even if the physical link stays up — automated failover kicks in within seconds without any manual intervention.
Learn how to build and verify an MPLS L3VPN on Cisco IOS-XE from scratch — covering VRF configuration, LDP, MP-BGP VPNv4, PE-CE eBGP routing, and systematic troubleshooting with real CLI output.
A technical deep dive into zero-knowledge proofs — what SNARKs and STARKs are, how they differ, and why they’re now the backbone of blockchain scaling, privacy, and DeFi compliance in 2026.
BGP communities let you tag routes with policy metadata and use that tagging for filtering, traffic engineering, and DDoS mitigation. This guide covers standard, extended, and large communities on Cisco IOS-XE with real CLI examples — from basic send-community config to RTBH blackholing and inbound route tagging by peer type.
Learn how to configure SNMP v3 on Cisco IOS-XE devices with real CLI examples, then feed that data into LibreNMS and Grafana for production-grade network visibility.
