Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A personal project log covering custom hardware, software, and home-lab systems built for the creator’s own house.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-23 issue.

For: Home-lab builders and hands-on hardware-software makers
Worth noticing: RegForge is marked shut down because its LLM-based datasheet extraction was not reliable enough.

Field notes

Each project entry pairs a short account of the build with a status and a stack of tools or technologies. The home-lab section describes a repurposed 2017 desktop running 43 containers, while the ESPHome entry names a garage-door remote and an mmWave presence sensor. The creator labels work as AI-assisted but says the ideas, design, and decisions are theirs; RegForge is explicitly recorded as shut down after unreliable LLM results.
