AI, Dopamine, and the Night I Rewired My Home Lab A few nights ago, I opened my real backlog.
Not Jira. Not a curated roadmap.
The actual list:
stabilize my k3s cluster running across Raspberry Pis and an old desktop build a network sentinel agent on my OpenWrt router to detect malicious traffic improve observability (Prometheus, exporters, Grafana dashboards) monitor smart plugs for power anomalies orchestrate domotic scenarios based on real signals (not just timers) This is the kind of list that usually grows.
I’ve always admired the Open Compute Project (OCP) community and its push to standardise data center technology. From servers to networking, OCP has shaped the way hyperscalers build at scale.
Now, with AI pushing compute requirements through the roof, OCP is stepping up again, this time with a vision for 1MW racks and an open, modular AI pod design that could redefine infrastructure for the AI era.
Just happened, today I came accross with this white paper released in January 2025 where explains, far from the topics the AI datacenter explosion.
As a BCP and systems architect, I analyze the causes and architectural flaws behind the historic blackout in Spain on April 28, 2025, and what we must learn from it.
