My go-to for network diagrams and infrastructure planning. Self-hosted so your diagrams never leave your browser — no account, no cloud sync, no data retention.

A self-hosted Swiss Army knife for IT work — encoders, decoders, converters, hash generators, JWT debuggers, and more. I reach for this daily instead of random single-purpose websites.

A private metasearch engine that pulls results from multiple sources without tracking you. No ads, no profiling, no query history. A solid alternative when you want search results without the surveillance.

Practical how-to guides covering virtualization, networking, and enterprise infrastructure. One of the first places I check when I'm working through a Proxmox or vSphere problem.

The gold standard for server, storage, and networking hardware reviews. If I'm evaluating a mini PC, NIC, or switch for the lab, STH's benchmarks and teardowns are required reading.

Maintains the largest collection of well-documented, regularly-updated Docker images for self-hosted apps. If you're running containers in your homelab, you're almost certainly already using their images.

Deep technical dives into VMware Cloud Foundation, vSphere, and Kubernetes from a longtime VMware engineer. Packed with automation scripts and homelab deployment guides you won't find anywhere else.

The most comprehensive resource I've found for NAS platforms — Synology, QNAP, ASUSTOR, and more. Especially useful for Docker-on-NAS tutorials and keeping self-hosted app stacks up to date.

Long-running community and publication covering Android, software, and broader consumer tech. A reliable source for hands-on hardware coverage and developer-focused tech news beyond the mainstream press.
