Remember when streaming services promised a simple, single solution to all your entertainment needs? A one-time subscription to replace expensive, bloated cable packages. It was a golden age of convenience.
But today, we’ve come full circle. The media landscape is more fragmented than ever. Your favorite shows and movies are scattered across a dozen different apps, each demanding its own monthly subscription. One show might have its first season on Netflix, with new seasons exclusive to a different platform, forcing you to subscribe to both.
Are you tired of subscription fees, limited storage, and compromises on photo quality from commercial cloud services?

This blog post will take you through my journey of creating a robust and flexible self-hosted photo backup solution, designed to keep precious memories safe and accessible for my family and friends.
Ever dreamt of having your own AI stack that you can control, tweak, and build upon — without relying entirely on cloud APIs? That’s what I’ve done with my homelab. This post walks you through the components of my AI stack, how I use it across different tools, and hopefully inspires you to build your own.

How I Built My Private AI Assistant under $100* (And You Can Too) !
No cloud subscriptions. No data leaks. Just my old GPU doing magic.
Total cost: $100 (if you already have a homelab)
The Secret? Your Homelab Does Most of the Work I already had a basic homelab running Proxmox with LXC containers. All I needed was a $80 used GPU (NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super) to unlock AI capabilities.
