THIS GUY REPLACED EVERY SUBSCRIPTION FOR OVER 30 SERVICES WITH A HOMELAB HE BUILT USING CLAUDE CODE
he built his own self hosted version of basically every service you pay for online and runs it all from a 27U server rack in his house
the goal was simple:
stop renting access to your own data, stop paying monthly subscriptions for things you can run yourself, and have one private dashboard that controls everything in your digital life
he opens one homepage on his browser and from there he can:
> stream his entire movie and TV collection through plex or jellyfin
> request a new movie through overseerr and watch it appear in his library automatically once it's downloaded and tagged
> back up every photo he takes through immich (his own google photos)
> store all his files through nextcloud (his own google drive)
> manage his audiobooks, ebooks, music, RSS feeds, recipes, and bookmarks from one place
> block ads across his entire network with adguard home
> see live grafana stats for every machine running in his house at any moment
and a lot more
the homepage dashboard even shows the current weather, his calendar, system stats, download queues, library counts, and shortcuts to every service he uses
the hardware list:
> netgate 1100 router running pfsense+ for firewall, DHCP, DNS, and VLANs
> tp-link 8 port managed switch
> tp-link archer C6 access point
> raspberry pi 4 dedicated to a full screen grafana dashboard
> HP laptop with i3 11th gen and 24GB RAM running proxmox VE as the main hypervisor
> compaq laptop with a core 2 duo and 4GB RAM running proxmox backup server
> tower PC with a core 2 duo running unraid for the NAS
the proxmox VE box runs every self hosted service inside a debian VM with docker compose. backups run on a schedule with chunk based deduplication. unraid handles all the storage with mixed drive sizes and a single parity drive
every device is on a tailscale tailnet so he can hit anything from anywhere in the world without poking holes in his firewall
then he built his own private streaming empire on top of it:
> plex and jellyfin pointing at the same library
> overseerr to request movies and shows
> radarr, sonarr, lidarr, readarr managing different media types
> prowlarr indexing everything
> sabnzbd and qbittorrent handling the downloads
> bazarr pulling subtitles automatically
> tautulli for plex stats
> trailarr for trailers
then the rest of the stack:
> nextcloud replaces google drive
> immich replaces google photos
> paperless-ngx for OCR document management
> adguard home blocks ads across the entire network
> miniflux for RSS, karakeep for bookmarks
> mealie for recipes, navidrome for music, audiobookshelf for audiobooks
> calibre for ebooks, code server for VS code in the browser
> stirling PDF, IT tools, microbin, searxng, pairdrop
every service surfaces through homepage, a self hosted dashboard he built tooling around to auto generate the YAML config (made with claude code)
this guy is paying $0 a month for what most people pay $200+ in subscriptions for and had an initial setup cost of ~1000 to 1500 USD
the homelab community is quietly the most overpowered and cracked group of builders on the internet

You can surely build a b2b marketplace with just $50 per month
Devops engineers would agree hard!

Arjun Aditya retweetet

My cousin is 16, and she showed me her skincare shelf last week. Salicylic acid cleanser. Niacinamide serum. Retinol night cream. AHA/BHA exfoliator.
She's 16. Her skin is fine.
She doesn't have acne. She built this routine from reels.
She's using actives meant for 28-year-olds because a 19-year-old on Instagram told her to start early. I asked where she heard about retinol. She showed me a reel by a girl with 400K followers who's been using skincare for 2 years and speaks with the confidence of a dermatologist with 20 years of practice.
This is the part of the Indian beauty boom nobody wants to talk about because everyone's making money from it.

@ganeshsonawane that's a goated pace for that distance, how do you tackle rubbing of your toes?
for 2kms my toes are okay but then they start rubbing because i can't find a better shoe which is wide enough
English

personal record with these gym shoes 🥹
(p.s: don’t run barefoot if you don’t have strong ankles, start from barefoot walks, train feet to gain strength and then run)
