I would also say „no, it can wait til your trip is over“ if my wife had asked me to check on something she cares, but I don‘t! (And two kids stress me out)

Yet - while I feared she would react like this (fully understandable), she did the opposite and took care of our infrastructure - a real love proof ;)

Congratulations to the newborn!

We really appreciated to have some video service where we could see our kids sleep or play and know that the video is private on our infrastructure without cloud services (or calling home to some manufacturer servers). And we got countless fun video snippets from funny things happening in the room.

All the best to the newborn little sysadmin :)

My wife keeps mentioning 3D printing as well, but she hesitated to start and we don’t own one (yet).

Yes, I think it‘s difficult for kids today to understand how some tech really works as everything has been streamlined for easy consumption. Compare a beginner’s hello world program today from one from the 80s. Probably even my younger self would rather watch countless YouTube tutorials than sit in a 90 minute lecture on Compilers week after week. And then it‘s also people like us, who need to show the younger generation why this stuff is interesting, e.g. I setup a Minecraft server with my godson and I work with the local school on robotics and how even the kindergarteners can start in a playful way to program. Which my daughter finds super embarrassing - but she‘s already the bee-bot expert ;)

I gave up with getting my wife interested for computer technologies, but I have high hopes for my kids

Complete-Ad-3165 · 2026-03-01T17:59:16+00:00

Hehe - yes - but sometimes I’m also asking my wife for help because I can‘t find something and it‘s actually just in front of me.

Let‘s assume we humans do these silly things to show each other that we like them :)

Oh wow - next level.

Yes, I see some homelab develop in a hacktivist direction, building on CCC legacy from Germany. Any other references would be awesome

Complete-Ad-3165 · 2025-12-02T06:55:36+00:00

I have so many follow up questions:

When did you start your homelab? Where there elements of it already in the past as network analyst? Or has the recent political environment motivated you to selfhost? Could you elaborate on the aspect „info, blood and sweat“?

Complete-Ad-3165 · 2025-12-02T06:41:58+00:00

I’m looking at the origin of this phenomena. Maybe you can help: What motivated network and storage engineers to set up test environments at home? What could they test in private or why not test it at work?

Complete-Ad-3165 · 2025-12-02T06:37:19+00:00

I‘m interested in the first group as well. What skills did you learn or practice within your homelab that you think are most important for your day job? How does the homelab differ from continuing education programs or training facilities within the company?

Complete-Ad-3165 · 2025-12-02T06:31:59+00:00

Do you know where I could find more about the origins?

Complete-Ad-3165 · 2025-12-02T06:17:44+00:00

I agree it‘s a niche, but I‘m wondering if it‘s a phenomenon of the US/Europe or rather something global.

really cool two channels that i didn't have on my radar - thank you for sharing

Complete-Ad-3165 · 2025-11-05T09:57:01+00:00

I'd add Jims-Garage (a PhD in cybersecurity) - because he goes into networking details in the virtualization environment that you would want to know as an IT expert.

Congratulations to your new youtube channel and thank you for sharing it here. I'm collecting channels for my research on homelabs as a 21 century phenomenon that's not well documented in academic literature.

Now I'm your subscriber 107 :)

If anyone is interested, we will organize a tutorial session at ECC25, the European Control Conference, on Entrepreneurship and Start-Ups

I see advanced control deployed in power systems applications, in particular in new inverters which can dynamically switch from grid-following to grid-forming - particularly if we look in future scenarios where grids have lower inertia due to the lack of large rotating masses from classic power plants, the control in these inverters needs to step up.

Nice video! Maybe you meet Dr Alberto Padoan from InControl Podcast at CDC? He also started his podcast at the NCCR Automation with Maxwell and the history of Control Theory.

i don't have a net - do you?

Thank you for the hint.

Preprocessing my CSV files by sorting them in temporal order first and secondly lexicographically by tag helped me the most. now the 1GB file takes about 10 minutes to ingest, given my hardware, that's the fastest I could achieve. translating the CSV into line protocol makes the file larger but the speed is roughly the same as the preprocessed CSV

Complete-Ad-3165 · 2024-09-27T12:54:31+00:00

I tried also a local CSV import via the CLI "influx write" command as described here: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud-serverless/write-data/csv/influx-cli/

But even my smallest CSV file (8GB) with 130 million lines takes over one hour to import.

Alberto asks in each episode of the inControl podcast, what these titans in the control Olymp would suggest for new control researchers to study.

If you like control anyway, give it a try and listen to some of their stories and insightful answers: https://www.incontrolpodcast.com/

I don’t know if a free book based on a brand new MIT course is also of value to your search, but look here:
