AppFlowy vs Notion in 2026: the self-host server is now proprietary and the free tier is one browser seat. Licensing, Docker Compose setup, and real prices.

SurrealDB promises documents, graphs, search and realtime in one binary. I tested it against Postgres to see where that pitch holds up for self-hosters in 2026.

Loading model weights, not math, is your GPU bottleneck. Continuous batching with llama-server serves many concurrent requests for close to the cost of one.

Configure OPNsense gateway groups for WAN failover and load balancing, then layer policy-based routing so specific hosts or VLANs use a chosen WAN link.

RabbitMQ vs NATS for a self-hosted app: routing, delivery guarantees, Docker Compose setups, Python code, and which broker to run for background jobs.

Meilisearch and Typesense both promise instant search without Elasticsearch's weight. I ran both in Docker and picked a winner per self-hosted use case.

A 2026-09-22 patch left a self-hosted model's weights untouched but made it more confident on nonsense input. Six systems compared, real numbers only.

One central CrowdSec LAPI, remote log-parsing agents, and bouncers on every box, so an SSH brute-force on one server gets blocked everywhere else too.

Docker MCP Toolkit sandboxes AI agent tools in containers. Here's exactly what that isolation stops, where it silently breaks, and how to configure it safely.

Jev, Von, and SemIf scored head to head on real commit history: a frozen 4B general model beat a purpose-built 395M decision model on every task tested.

NetAlertX v26.9.0 ships a built-in MCP server with 12 tools. Learn how to wire it into Claude Code, what it exposes, and when to use Home Assistant instead.

Skeleton Key MCP swaps four narrow homelab tokens for one Vaultwarden vault and one OAuth consent flow. Here is what that buys you, and what it risks.
