The Intel N100 is a surprisingly decent CPU for containerized workloads
Intel N100 是一款非常不错的 CPU，适用于容器化工作负载
Home labs are frequently associated with core-laden server-grade processors, but you'll find plenty of affordable and power-efficient alternatives out there. Often present inside budget-friendly mini-PCs, the Intel N100 is a mobile-tier processor that seems rather underpowered at first glance. And well, it technically is, especially if you're planning to run lots of virtual machines simultaneously.
However, it makes for a solid choice when you just want to host your favorite apps inside containers. Both my Aiffro K100 NAS and Radxa X4 SBC are powered by this processor, and while it's not perfect, the Intel N100 can hold its own against multiple containers. Plus, since it's an x86 chip, it's not held back by the same compatibility restrictions of its ARM rivals. This means you can even install Proxmox on your N100 system and expect solid performance on LXC containers (and even Docker containers, assuming you deploy them on a lightweight CLI-based Linux distro).
家庭实验室通常与满载内核的服务器级处理器相关联，但您会发现许多经济实惠且节能的替代方案。英特尔 N100 通常出现在预算友好的迷你 PC 中，是一款移动级处理器，乍一看似乎动力不足。嗯，从技术上讲，确实如此，特别是如果您计划同时运行大量虚拟机。但是，当您只想在容器中托管自己喜欢的应用程序时，它是一个不错的选择。我的 Aiffro K100 NAS 和 Radxa X4 SBC 都由这款处理器提供支持，虽然它并不完美，但英特尔 N100 可以对抗多个容器。此外，由于它是 x86 芯片，因此它不会受到与 ARM 竞争对手相同的兼容性限制的阻碍。这意味着您甚至可以在 N100 系统上安装 Proxmox，并期望在 LXC 容器（甚至 Docker 容器，假设您将它们部署在基于 CLI 的轻量级 Linux 发行版上）上获得稳定的性能。

Tailscale is a game-changer for home labbers
Tailscale 改变了家庭实验室员工的游戏规则
If you're as big of a computing nerd as I am, the thought of leaving your tech cave for a few days might not sound very appealing, especially if your software stack primarily consists of self-hosted services. Well, you could technically expose your services to external networks, but you'll have to deal with the Herculean task of configuring port forwarding on your router. For networking setups afflicted with the curse of CGNAT, this can seem borderline impossible.
Luckily, Tailscale is the panacea to accessing your locally-hosted application suite from external networks. It's fairly easy to set up and just as secure, making it one of the best apps for any home lab enthusiast.
如果您和我一样是计算书，那么离开您的技术洞穴几天的想法听起来可能不是很吸引人，尤其是当您的软件堆栈主要由自托管服务组成时。好吧，从技术上讲，您可以将您的服务公开给外部网络，但您必须处理在路由器上配置端口转发的艰巨任务。对于受 CGNAT 诅咒影响的网络设置，这似乎几乎是不可能的。幸运的是，Tailscale 是从外部网络访问本地托管应用程序套件的灵丹妙药。它相当容易设置并且同样安全，使其成为任何家庭实验室爱好者的最佳应用程序之一。
GPMI is coming for HDMI and DP's place in the living room
GPMI 即将在客厅中取代 HDMI 和 DP 的位置
HDMI 2.2 was launched at CES 2025, but a new A/V connectivity standard from a Chinese consortium looks to unseat it, at least for devices in mainland China. The General Purpose Media Interface (GPMI) has two versions: a Type-B that uses an HDMI-like connector to pass 192Gbps of bandwidth and 480W of power delivery, or a Type-C that passes 96Gbps and 240W of power. That's faster than DisplayPort 2.1 or HDMI 2.2 for the larger connector and faster than Thunderbolt 5 or USB 4 for the USB-C connector. Neither is likely to be used in devices for the Western market, which is a shame since the USB-C design would be perfect for VR headset users. Still, it's good to see that HDMI and DisplayPort have competition.
HDMI 2.2 在 CES 2025 上推出，但来自中国财团的新 A/V 连接标准似乎要取代它，至少对于中国大陆的设备来说是这样。通用媒体接口 （GPMI） 有两个版本：Type-B 使用类似 HDMI 的连接器传递 192Gbps 的带宽和 480W 的功率传输，或者 Type-C 传递 96Gbps 和 240W 的功率。对于较大的连接器，这比 DisplayPort 2.1 或 HDMI 2.2 更快，对于 USB-C 连接器，这比 Thunderbolt 5 或 USB 4 更快。两者都不太可能用于西方市场的设备，这很遗憾，因为 USB-C 设计非常适合 VR 耳机用户。尽管如此，很高兴看到 HDMI 和 DisplayPort 存在竞争。

The new Start menu shows Microsoft is listening to Windows users — it's just too slow
Microsoft was recently revealed to be working on a redesigned Start menu for Windows 11, and it seems to incorporate a lot of the things I and many other fans have been begging for since the beginning. An always-visible All apps list, the ability to remove the Recommended section, and a larger area overall. It's great to see that Microsoft is actually listening to fan feedback on these things. If it ends up rolling out widely, this new Start menu will be a huge improvement over what we currently have, and it shows that Microsoft does care about the user experience, when it wants to. It just seems unfortunate that it doesn't happen enough. Why did it take nearly four years for this change to show up? Why is there so much more user feedback that's still being ignored? How is Windows still so bad for gaming handhelds? I just wish Microsoft were more agile in making Windows the best it can be.
Google's spam warnings are huge time savers
I don't often care that much for what's going on in the world of phones, but one thing I've really come to appreciate is the spam filtering in Google's phone app. I didn't always think this made much of a difference here in Portugal, but in recent years, there's been a huge rise in spam calls. Sometimes it'll be someone trying to sell something, other times it may be a survey for some kind of poll. One type of call that has become very prominent recently are robocalls from numbers that either hang up immediately or just play some odd recording threatening some kind of legal action. Google Phone has saved me a ton of time and stress by letting me know when a number might be a spam call, and I just don't answer these calls anymore. It's just great to have this warning up front, and so far, I've never felt tricked by it. The only problem is sometimes it takes a second to show the warning and I'll answer before I see it, but otherwise, this is an awesome feature, and it's great to see fea
