Building an AI-Powered ArXiv Pipeline: Thought n8n was the future, but not yet
This is my story of how I attempt to build an AI-powered pipeline for ArXiv papers. It was a journey that started with a cool idea about AI agents and ended with me wrestling Docker, n8n, and Python into submission.

On-Premise 101 (Part 3): My "Fearless" NAS Build with Virtualized TrueNAS, ZFS, and Cloud Backups
In the previous parts of this series, we went from a single hand-me-down PC to a full 3-node cluster, and then we installed Proxmox as our hypervisor. We even managed to pass through a GPU to a VM for near-native performance.

In the previous part, we covered how I started playing around with my hand-me-down computer and then escalated to building a whole 3-node cluster. It’s been a 3-year journey, and there have been so many changes to the software stack I host. But no matter what, there’s one thing I’ve used consistently from beginning to end: Proxmox (Hypervisor). So before we dive into how I deploy my applications on Docker or Kubernetes, I’ll show you the glue that connects the hardware we just built to all the software we’re going to deploy.
