📰 I turned a Raspberry Pi and mini PC into a portable homelab that fits in my backpack
I love my homelab — but accessing it remotely from a hotel or café only gets me so far. That remote connection works fine for simpler tasks like checking dashboards, running scripts, waking up, or shutting down machines. But anything heavier — large file transfers, streaming, or running intensive workloads — quickly reveals public Wi-Fi’s limitations.
