I've been meaning to quit ChatGPT for a while. So I used ChatGPT to ChatGPT my way out of ChatGPT. You can do it too - here's how...
Do as I say, not as I do. Back up your stuff. Right now! Also thanks to my mentor...
Big architectural updates for the app's maintainability and flexibility - DinD, GPU autodetection, Model Backup and Restore & other.
Exploring the Llamaman implementation and deployment of TurboQuant after 2am.
LlamaMan is a self-hosted web UI for managing llama.cpp instances. Check out what's new in version 0.8.6
Ollama was too slow and apparently nobody had built a proper UI for managing llama.cpp instances in Docker. So I did. LlamaMan gives you full control over GPU layer offload, real-time VRAM monitoring, one-click model launching from a preset, and an Ollama-compatible proxy. Having control over your own hardware shouldn't be a novel concept in 2026.
Quick changelog for the latest nullGuard 1.1.6 update. A few quality-of-life improvements and one feature that should have been there from the start.
A VPS costs less than a streaming subscription and gives you your own server to run whatever you want on it - VPN, cloud storage, ad blocking, media server, the works. Here's why you'd want one and how to set it up from scratch.
MariaDB Galera Cluster is a synchronous multi-master database solution that gives you true HA out of the box - every node accepts reads and writes, data is replicated synchronously across all of them, and when a node goes down it rejoins automatically when it comes back. No external orchestrator, no read-only replicas, no second job maintaining the HA layer. This is a deep dive into how it works, why I reach for it over Postgres for HA-critical systems, and how to deploy it with Docker.
Governments are restricting VPNs while building their own - which you absolutely should not trust. Commercial providers ask you to take their word on privacy. WireGuard, objectively the best VPN protocol available, still requires you to sit in a terminal editing config files by hand every time you add a device. This covers why all three of those paths are broken, and introduces nullGuard - a Docker-based WireGuard management app that gets you from zero to a connected client with a QR code, no terminal required after initial setup. It also covers the full tunnel vs split tunnel distinction, when self-hosting beats a commercial VPN and when it doesn't, and how the economics change if you're splitting infrastructure with a group.
LinkedIn is a fever dream and we all know it. Corporatify is a Chrome extension that takes whatever you actually mean - unfiltered, unhinged, honest - and rewrites it in the professional dialect the platform demands. Runs on your own AI backend, works on any site, and yes, it turns "fired" into "Excited to share that I'm open to new opportunities!" The future is stupid and beautiful.
WebUI Manager is a small, self-hosted Flask app that gives you a clean dashboard for all your internal web services. You add your services, optionally assign them to a host and a category, and they show up in a grouped, filterable view that you can actually navigate without squinting at a spreadsheet.
