Hi, I’m Cyb3rJan.
I run my own private home lab where I test, build, break, repair, and document practical technology. My main focus is local AI, self-hosting, automation, private infrastructure, and running powerful tools on my own hardware instead of relying on expensive cloud services or API subscriptions.
My setup includes local AI models with Ollama, coding assistants, NAS systems, virtual machines, Ubuntu servers, automation workflows, private dashboards, WordPress experiments, home network projects, and custom AI assistant setups. I use hardware like a GPU workstation, Ugreen NAS, Synology NAS, local servers, and my own LAN-based infrastructure to experiment with what is possible when you keep control in your own hands.
I am especially interested in running AI locally and for free whenever possible. No unnecessary cloud dependency, no surprise API bills, no marketing hype. Just real tools, tested on real hardware, with honest notes about what works, what breaks, and what is actually useful.
On this blog I write about local AI coding, Ollama, Claude Code alternatives, DeepSeek, open-source models, home lab infrastructure, automation, networking, self-hosting, WordPress, RAG systems, and practical technical experiments.
Cyb3rJan is my personal technical notebook. It is where I document the things I learn while building my own local-first AI and home lab environment.
My goal is simple: make advanced technology practical, understandable, affordable, and reproducible for people who like to build things themselves.
Welcome to Cyb3rJan.
