homelab

3 parts, in reading order. Each one builds on the last.

1. 01

   Setting up my homelab

   AUG 16 2026 · 5 min

   I wanted my own private AI, running at home, where nothing I ask leaves the house.

2. 02

   Switching to a smaller model

   AUG 20 2026 · 4 min

   I expected a new, smaller model to be slower on my homelab, and at first it was. Then I found one setting that more than doubled its speed.

3. 03

   Letting my homelab do things on its own

   AUG 29 2026 · 5 min

   A chat window only answers when I ask. I wanted my homelab to also do small jobs for me on its own, so I tried two AI agents, OpenClaw and Hermes Agent.
