Home lab
A quiet stack of hardware that runs the flat and hosts the things I'd rather not rent.

A screenshot of the Home Assistant dashboard will live here.
If I'd otherwise do something twice, it tends to get automated.
What it does
A NUC server and a GPU desktop run Home Assistant, Plex and a handful of services. The automations handle the small stuff so I don't have to: lights warming down to a red hue through the evening, the projector waking five minutes before kickoff, everything switching off when no one's home.
How it works
Home Assistant ties the sensors, lights and devices together with rules; Plex serves media to whatever screen I'm near; and the GPU box doubles as the trainer for the trading experiments when it's otherwise idle.
It's the least glamorous project here and probably the one I'd miss most.
