I have three kids. Two of them are boys, and like a lot of kids their age, they love video games. What’s been especially fun for me is that I actually enjoy playing video games with them. It’s one of…
If you’re running a home lab, especially something like an Unraid server, let me save you some money — because I’ve probably burned hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars learning lessons the hard way. This post isn’t about enterprise best practices…

Hey, my name is Quentin Mayo, and in today’s blog I want to talk about deployments, Gen-AI, and how both shape the way I think about development. I’ll start with a story—because that’s how my brain usually connects everything. Why…
A while back, one of my colleagues mentioned Home Assistant. I didn’t pay much attention at first because I was using a tool called DRAC Board. Fun name—and I liked it because it gave me a clean dashboard view for…
