Home Lab

Building a local LoRa mesh network using Meshtastic — solar-powered repeater nodes and handheld devices for off-grid, encrypted, peer-to-peer communication that doesn't depend on the internet or cell towers.

Replaced Google Home with a self-hosted Home Assistant instance on a salvaged Raspberry Pi 3B. Local control, no cloud, no data leaving the house.

Migrated personal files, photos, and media off Google Drive, iCloud, Facebook, and OneDrive onto a self-hosted Nextcloud server running on a Raspberry Pi 5.
