Control data and models with self-hosted LLMs
Self-hosting LLMs keeps data, models, and inference under your control-a practical path to AI sovereignty for teams, enterprises, nations. Here: what sovereign AI is, which aspects and methods are used to build it, how LLM self-hosting fits in, how countries are addressing the challenge.
Automate Hugo deployment to AWS S3
Deploying a Hugo static site to AWS S3 using the AWS CLI provides a robust, scalable solution for hosting your website. This guide covers the complete deployment process, from initial setup to advanced automation and cache management strategies.
Optimize developing and running Hugo sites
Hugo caching strategies are essential for maximizing the performance of your static site generator. While Hugo generates static files that are inherently fast, implementing proper caching at multiple layers can dramatically improve build times, reduce server load, and enhance user experience.
Specialized chips are making AI inference faster, cheaper
The future of AI isn’t just about smarter models - it’s about smarter silicon. Specialized hardware for LLM inference is driving a revolution similar to Bitcoin mining’s shift to ASICs.
Step-by-step example
Here we have a Python Lambda example of SQS Message Processor + REST API with API Key Protection + Terraform script to deploy it for serverless execution.
Approximate hosting cost estimations vs subscription.
Here’s a quick info on Write.as / WriteFreely - how it fits into the fediverse, where to get managed hosting, what the usage trend looks like, and how to self-host (plus rough costings).
What is Proxmox?
Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) is an open-source, type-1 hypervisor and datacenter orchestration platform built on Debian.
Nice tool for platform engineering on AWS
The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a framework that enables you to define and provision cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages like TypeScript, Python, Java and Go.
Choosing the best Kubernetes flavour for our homelab
I’m comparing self-hosted Kubernetes variants that suit the Ubuntu-based homelab with 3 nodes (16GB RAM, 4 cores each), focusing on ease of setup and maintenance, support for persistent volumes and LoadBalancers.
A bit about on common GitHub Actions and their structure.
GitHub Actions is an automation and CI/CD platform within GitHub, used to build, test, and deploy your code based on events like pushes, pull requests, or on a schedule.
Comparison of software engineering tools and languages
The Pragmatic Engineer letter published a couple days ago survey statistics of the popularity of programming languages, IDEs, AI tools and other data for mid-2025.
The list of all terraform commands
Here is a comprehensive Terraform cheatsheet with essential commands, configuration elements, resource management, modules, variables, state handling, and best practices.
Some notes on GitOps
GitOps is a modern approach to managing infrastructure and applications deployments using Git as the single source of truth. It leverages Git’s version control capabilities to automate and streamline the process of deploying and managing applications and infrastructure, particularly in cloud-native environments.
Flutter Web app build and host with Docker containers
Several examples of Dockerfiles for building and hosting Flutter web apps, Ubuntu-based Flutter Build image + Webapp image on Nginx.
After setting upd the Gitea and Hugo on AWS S3...
The next step is to implement some CI/CD and setup Gitea Actions for Hugo website, to push website to AWS S3 automatically when master branch is updated.
