I recently bought a new mini PC to host my homelab services. The new host is something like 10x more powerful than the old. Old New CPU Core i5-3427 i9-12900HK RAM 16GB 32GB Disk 60GB mSATA 1TB NVMe GPU HD 4000 Iris Xe It’s just sitting here doing nothing most of the time so I thought I might give running some AI stuff on it.

I’m hoping to get back to writing down things more often. I do a lot of weird little things and sometimes it’s nice to just refer back to my brainspace from weeks, months or years back to get ideas....
