Hands-on guides, protocol deep dives, and field notes on tunnels, SSH, reverse proxies, self-hosting, self-hosted LLMs, and AI - from the people building Pinggy.
A technical guide to testing webhooks on localhost in 2026 - provider CLIs like stripe listen and gh webhook forward, HTTPS tunnels, relay services like Hookdeck and Svix, plus the raw-body signature trap that breaks most handlers.
Which open-weight LLMs actually fit in 8GB of VRAM or RAM in 2026, with measured file sizes, KV cache math from published configs, and Ollama commands for Qwen3.5, Gemma 4, Ministral 3, Granite 4.1, Nemotron 3 Nano, and Phi-4-mini.
What actually breaks when you run OpenRouter in production: provider-to-provider benchmark gaps, silent null responses, quantization myths, and how to configure routing that survives them.
JetKVM Mini packs a full KVM-over-IP into a 42mm aluminum shell for $39, shipping October 26, 2026. Its remote access runs through a cloud dashboard and Tailscale - here is what happens when WebRTC gets blocked, and how to open a backup path with a plain SSH tunnel.
A buying guide for running coding agents on your own hardware. Why prompt caching makes generation speed the number that matters, where a cold cache costs you minutes instead, a comparison table of Mac Studio M5 Ultra, RTX 5090, Radeon AI PRO R9700, Strix Halo and DGX Spark with September 2026 prices, and the memory every open-weight coding model actually needs.
Imbue's new open-source personal cloud platform packages containerized self-hosted apps behind one login and one router. It's a genuinely different take on self-hosting, but its own docs admit the networking story isn't solved yet - here's the gap and how to close it today.
How to install Nous Research's open-source Hermes Agent on your own machine and run it at zero token cost on OpenRouter free models - the tool-calling and 64K context requirements, the request limits that actually bite, a free-model fallback chain, and remote access over a tunnel.
A 5,292-session study measured which vendors Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor actually pick for payments, databases, email, and storage. The agents agree with each other only 42% of the time.
A practical list of cybersecurity equipment for college students: hardware security keys, encrypted external drives, privacy screens, data-blocking chargers, webcam covers, and the dorm-network rules for personal routers.
How can you free up space on your SSD and monitor RAM and CPU usage? How can you prevent overheating and boost performance? Practical tips on workstation optimization for developers.
