📰 Pi-hole showed me 65,000 DNS queries in hours, and I didn't like where they were going
Like most self-hosting enthusiasts, I also installed Pi-hole, implemented it network-wide, and moved on thinking it finally gave me control over my network along with a cleaner browsing experience. Running it on my Debian Docker setup already felt like a solid upgrade, and in no time it quietly embedded itself into my setup. Since it was implemented network-wide, every device on my network was already using it silently.

📰 Claude's new computer use feature turned my old laptop into a machine I control from my phone
I’ve been running my homelab on an 8-year-old laptop as a bare-metal Debian server. I rarely interacted with it directly, though. At my desk, I used my PC, and everywhere else, I relied on my MacBook. My MacBook had become my main control hub for the homelab server and my NAS. I didn’t mind managing my server manually, but I did mind having to sit down every time. Even for a routine check, I had to log into my MacBook, either SSH into the server...
