Deploy Prometheus to scrape metrics from node_exporter on each Linux server. Then chart it all in Grafana with CPU, memory, disk, network, and systemd service health. The full stack (Prometheus 3.x, node_exporter 1.10, Grafana 11.6) can watch a 10-server homelab on one Raspberry Pi 4 or a small VM with 1GB RAM. The community Node Exporter Full dashboard (Grafana ID 1860) gives you production-grade views in under 30 minutes.

This guide walks the full setup from layout to dashboards. It covers config files, useful PromQL queries, and ways to grow into log and container monitoring.

Thunderbolt 5 doubles the pipe to 80 Gbps in both directions (120 Gbps with Bandwidth Boost for displays). It is USB4 v2 compliant and tunnels PCIe Gen 4 x4. For Linux users, that means real gains for eGPU rigs, multi-display docks, and fast NVMe drive bays. Kernel 6.10+ ships basic Thunderbolt 5 support through the thunderbolt driver. Full feature work depends on your distro, firmware, and hardware. The upgrade pays off only when you need more speed than Thunderbolt 4’s 40 Gbps can give.

Connect a free 17track.net account to Home Assistant and you can pull tracking data from 3,200+ carriers into one place. From there, automations ping your phone, fire the porch camera, and toggle outdoor lights as boxes move through the system. Below is a working blueprint for the whole flow, from setup to multi-user alert tuning.

Setting Up the 17TRACK Integration

17track.net is a tracking aggregator. It pulls status updates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Royal Mail, China Post, YunExpress, and roughly 3,200 other carriers across 220 countries. Once you add tracking numbers to your 17track account (by hand, through the mobile app, or via email forwarding), the Home Assistant integration mirrors them as sensor entities. You can then display them and build automations on top.

Hermes Agent , built by Nous Research, has taken about 30% of OpenClaw’s user base by fixing one failure: memory. The Kilo.ai synthesis of 1,300+ r/openclaw comments confirms the figure. OpenClaw still wins on multi-agent breadth and 100+ skills. The right answer depends on which failure mode hurts you more.

Why r/openclaw Is Migrating to Hermes

The most-cited migration thread on the subreddit is the 167-comment OpenClaw vs Hermes thread . The top-voted answer to “is Hermes worth a look” reads as a clean defection notice. The poster ran OpenClaw for weeks on the same workload, then switched in an afternoon:

Only Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot run on a search index their parent company crawls itself. Anthropic Claude rents Brave Search , Mistral Le Chat rents Brave too, OpenAI ChatGPT rents Bing plus its own crawler, and Meta AI rents both. The key clue: Claude’s web_search tool exposes a literal BraveSearchParams field, and citation overlap with Brave runs about 86.7%.

Only Five Companies Actually Crawl the Open Web

Before mapping each AI lab to its backend, the key constraint is simple: only five operators crawl the open web at scale. Everything else sold as a “search engine” resells one of those indexes. The five are Google, Microsoft Bing, Yandex, Baidu, and Brave Search, with Mojeek as a much smaller niche sixth.

On February 23, 2026, Anthropic published a blog post titled “How AI Helps Break the Cost Barrier to COBOL Modernization” . It shipped with a Code Modernization Playbook . By market close, IBM’s stock had fallen 13.2% to $223.35 per share. That was IBM’s worst single day since October 2000. More than $31 billion in market cap vanished. Accenture fell 6.5%. Cognizant dropped 6%. One blog post had shaken the whole legacy migration sector.
