davidcrilly It is the classic ADHD renovation cycle: Why does this happen, and how do we get the spark back when unexpected delays derail our rhythm? The Chemistry of the Mid-Project Stall For the ADHD brain, interest is driven by novelty, urgency, and challenge. At the start of a renovation, everything is new and exciting. But … Read more
Last post was the honest admission: we still don’t know if we’re renovating this house for us or for resale, and that question doesn’t seem to be resolving itself. This post is the practical side — how we’re actually making decisions anyway, room by room, on a budget that means this whole project is going … Read more
Somewhere in the last however-many months of this renovation, my wife and I arrived at a question we did not have when we started: are we doing this for us, or are we doing this for whoever buys the house someday? We don’t have an answer. I want to be upfront about that, because most … Read more
This one’s shorter than usual — less narrative, more a list I wish someone had handed me before I started running inference on Moya. If you’re about to do the same thing on your own cluster, save yourself the weekends I lost. 1. Your GPU desktop is now a pet, not cattle Kubernetes culture tells … Read more
Last post I covered the why behind running private AI on Moya. This one is the how — specifically, getting GPU-backed inference working cleanly on a bare-metal Kubernetes cluster instead of just running a model on a desktop with a script and calling it a day. If you’ve only ever run AI workloads on cloud-managed … Read more
When I teased “private AI workloads on Moya” in my first post, a few people asked me the same question: why bother? Cloud AI is one API call away, it’s cheap, and somebody else deals with the GPUs catching fire. Fair question. Here’s my honest answer, plus what’s actually running. The “How Does That Work?” … Read more
We geared up for the weekend. The recurring nightmare—a stubborn sewer backup plaguing the right side of the house—needed a resolution. We decided to take a gamble: tear up the tile and poured quickset on the patio conversion. The goal? Find a buried sewer cleanout, a damp spot, or any physical clue to solve the mystery. We … Read more
We’ve all been there. You’ve finally harnessed that elusive wave of ADHD hyperfocus. The tools are laid out, the music is blasting, the budget is calculated to the cent, and you are ready to conquer the bathroom remodel. Then, you pull back the old drywall and find it: a leaking pipe, ancient knob-and-tube wiring, or … Read more
I mentioned on the homepage that when my eyes need a break from Kubernetes YAML, I transfer that same re-engineering energy into the physical world — remodeling the house, fixing things around the property. What I didn’t mention is that “remodeling” is doing a lot of work in that sentence, because there is no version … Read more
Last post covered why homelabs and Kubernetes specifically seem to be such a good (or dangerous) match for ADHD-style novelty-seeking and hyperfocus. This one is more practical: what the research and the ADHD community actually suggest for working with that pattern, mapped onto homelab and Kubernetes work specifically. None of this requires a diagnosis to … Read more
