He looks like he owns the whole house now.

I’ve been building a mobile-first NOC for my homelab infrastructure: Synology NAS, Proxmox nodes, Linux hosts, Docker containers, websites, and private services.

The goal is not just another uptime page. I wanted something closer to a lightweight operations control room: asset health, private monitoring, status history, alert awareness, and recovery visibility in one place.

The private side runs through an outbound-only Docker Probe, so internal services can be watched without exposing ports or keeping a VPN open just to check basic health.

Current coverage includes Synology NAS, Proxmox VE, Ubuntu/Linux hosts, Docker containers, HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/UDP/DNS/Ping checks, SSL/domain expiry, container status timelines, CPU/memory/storage history, and health summaries.

Please roast the design, architecture, scope, and anything I’m missing.

He was enjoying his little massage, but still kept looking back to make sure I was there. Mission morale: stable.

He was loving the little massage, squinting his eyes and looking back at me every now and then like, “you’re still here, right?” He looked so comfy and safe.

He remained completely silent until eye contact was established.

At 4 months, he was a compact night-ops trainee. At 10 months, he has successfully completed loaf expansion protocol. Same eyes, larger chassis.

Same big eyes, much bigger attitude. He officially upgraded from tiny shadow to full-size loaf.

Found this old passive low-profile GT 710 2GB DDR3 in my spare parts box.

It has VGA, HDMI, and DVI, so I’m thinking about keeping it as a basic console/display card for a Proxmox or Linux server, especially for troubleshooting or systems without an iGPU.

Obviously it’s not powerful by today’s standards, but it’s silent, low-power, and should be enough for BIOS access, installation, or emergency local display output.

Would you still keep a card like this in a homelab parts bin, or is it basically e-waste now?

He was supposed to scratch it, but somehow it became his throne, bed, and snack-cleaning station all in one.

Typical cat logic: if it fits, it’s his. Bonus tongue-out photo included.

Mission status: successful.
The unit entered the corrugated command nest, performed a full perimeter inspection, and then switched to loaf-mode surveillance. Tongue-out frame confirms post-mission snack cleanup.

He continues executing standard chair-contact procedures with high consistency and zero hesitation.

operative entered low-profile mode, established visual contact, and refused to abandon the tactical position. Treats may be required for extraction.
