A lot has passed since my last update in 2020. Here’s a rundown of the major changes:

  • Home Automation: I automated shutters with Shelly 2.5s.
  • Proxmox Node Setup: I turned my TX120 S3 running Ubuntu into my first Proxmox Node. This setup, featuring Home Assistant, a self-hosted VPN VM, and a GitLab Instance, served me well for months.
  • Deploying a Real Server: I acquired an RX2530 M2 rack-mounted server. Setting up VMs on it taught me about IPMI and the key differences between servers and consumer PCs (Noise, Heat, Power Consumption, Redundancy).
  • HP EliteDesk Addition: I added two HP EliteDesk 600 G3 units for overall lab management.

This journey has been one of learning, experimenting, and optimizing. Each step brought new insights and capabilities. Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to refine my setup and explore new technologies!
