My first COMPUTEX was overwhelming, mostly AI, and full of hardware I had a lot of questions about.
Here is what actually stood out to me.
I wanted to see how good local AI has actually gotten, so I built a mini AI cluster on my desk and tested it with a real coding workflow.
vLLM, OpenCode, NCCL, power monitoring, and open weight models.
Just a heads up if you are updating Proxmox to kernel 7.0.0-3-pve. Some LXCs might not be compatible with that kernel version. This is the first time I have run into this but figured I would mention it in case you are wondering why some of your LXC services might be crashing after that update. VMs of course are not affected because they are fully isolated.
To be clear you should update to the latest kernel, just be sure to check your LXCs afterwards.
I finally built a real 3-2-1 backup system for my homelab.
It ended up being way more than just “set up backups”:
offsite TrueNAS, a rebuild of the main NAS, and a third copy on a different platform for easier restores.
~30TB, no giant cloud bill, and a much better recovery story now.
Everything I’m self-hosting in 2026 is live. Full breakdown from Proxmox + TrueNAS + K8S and all the way up through the apps.
What are you hosting right now?
