  • Yes, I got a Strix Halo machine before the RAM price hike and use it to run all my ML stuff on it.

    Currently using llama-swap with llama.cpp/ComfyUI and opencode/Open WebUI as frontend.

    I’m running Qwen3.6-27b, Voxtral Mini 4b, Piper and Qwen Image. Also, some embedding and reranking models.

    I use them for:

    • Tagging and classification of my documents in Paperless
    • Home Assistant (voice assistant)
    • Translations (both text and image)
    • Transcriptions
    • Some light coding and debugging
    • Avatar/Backdrop generation for DnD sessions





  • If you have trouble with outgoing mails, you can use a hybrid approach.

    Receive mails directly to your server but use a mail service to relay your outgoing mails. Configuration for that is very simple in mailcow and there are a few dozen (free) transactional email providers (e.g. Scaleway).

    That way you can keep receiving your mails privately and only have to give up some privacy when sending mails.












  • I wrote an application which runs on my server and monitors my favorites on Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz. It downloads them in bulk whenever I have a premium account with one of them. Usually I purchase a month of premium every few months, at which point I get nice clean FLACs for local use.

    The FLACs are moved to Jellyfin and I stream them using Finamp, which also supports transcoding, so I keep 128 kbps Opus files for offline playback and stream the raw FLAC files when bandwidth is no concern.

    I have amassed a huge music library over the last decades, so even if all streaming websites go under tomorrow, I have enough music locally to last me a lifetime.
