Building out my homelab
Building the infrastructure to support a lot of the different labs and services I want at home:
Proxmox, Docker, Kea, Pi-Hole, Unbound, Authentik, Vault, TailScale/WireGuard, Wazuh, mermaid, etc.
VyOS Router/Firewall Platform
Playing around with this open source platform in my homelab. It looks like a great replacement for my current devices, and it's automation friendly!
Learn graph databases - Neo4j and Memgraph
Graph is interesting, and fairly popular...why not. Seems to suit several use cases in my area of work.
Distro Hopping
Keeping to the Linux kernel, but switching from Pop!_OS to CachyOS at home. I may go vanilla Arch some day...but today is not that day. I got rid of Windows years ago (use it every day at work, though).
Planned
IPv6 Home Network Implementation
Planning to introduce IPv6 addressing to home network infrastructure for enhanced
connectivity and learning purposes.

13 Month Calendar
This is a fun project exploring a 13-month calendar with equal 28-day months, simplifying timekeeping and aligning holidays with weekly schedules. I'm curious to see if this concept could be adopted in any meaningful way, personally (It worked for Kodak!).
Archiving - it's still around, but hasn't been as useful. Maybe the homelab can make more use of it once it's a bit more stable.
Work Network Modeling
Creating a comprehensive model of work network infrastructure for documentation
and optimization purposes.
Archiving - time availability / prioritization makes this a no-go right now
