Techno Tim joins Adam to dive deep into the state of homelab'ing in 2026. Hardware is scarce and expensive due to the AI gold rush, but software has never been better. From unleashing Claude on your UDM Pro to building custom Proxmox CLIs, they explores how AI is transforming what's possible in the homelab. Tim declares 2026 the "Year of Self-Hosted Software" while Adam reveals his homelab's secret weapons: DNSHole (a Pi-hole replacement written in Rust) and PXM (a Proxmox automation CLI).

  • Well, friends, it has changed login friends the weekly talk show about, well, you know what?

  • Whatever you want to talk about in this week, it is the state of homelab 2026.

  • A massive thank you to our friends and partners at fly.io.

  • Lunch your sprites, lunch your apps, lunch your fly machines,

  • lunch your everything at fly.io like us.

  • Okay, let's talk.

  • Well friends, I'm here again with a good friend of mine,

  • Kyle Goldbraith, co-founder and CEO of Depot.Dev.

  • Slow builds suck.

  • Depot knows it.

  • Kyle, tell me, how do you go about making builds faster?

  • What's the secret?

  • When it comes to optimizing build times to dry build times to zero,

  • you really have to take a step back and think about the core components that make up a build.

  • You have your CPUs, you have your networks, you have your disks.

  • All of that comes into play when you're talking about reducing build time.

  • And so some of the things that we do at Depot,

  • we're always running on the latest generation for ARM CPUs and AMD CPUs from Amazon.

  • Those in general are anywhere between 30 and 40% faster than GitHub's own hosted runners.

  • And then we do a lot of cache tricks.
