  • Floating Service IP (Poor Man’s Failover)

    I wanted a file server that survives a host failure without touching clients, DNS, or rebuilding the network. This is the simplest pattern I know that works. Context In a small home lab, high availability doesn’t need Kubernetes, load balancers, or enterprise clustering. Sometimes you just need: This pattern uses a floating service IP that…

  • Where LLMs and Cosine Similarity Fit Into the Stack

    Large Language Models (LLMs) sit at the top of this entire stack as enormous neural networks built from layers of tensor operations running on GPUs. At their core, LLMs are fundamentally prediction systems trained to model relationships between tokens, concepts, and patterns in language. Every word, sentence, or document is converted into high-dimensional numerical representations
