A Raspberry Pi 5 can transform a home network into a faster, safer, and easier-to-manage system by consolidating DNS, VPN, and monitoring tools into a single, low-power machine.The author implemented Pi-hole (ad blocking & DNS), Unbound (recursive DNS resolver for privacy & speed), and WireGuard (secure VPN for remote access). For monitoring, tools Uptime Kuma, Netdata, or Prometheus with Grafana provide real-time insights into network performance and security.
Grafana and GitLab have released a new open-source solution that links GitLab CI/CD events into Grafana's observability stack via a serverless architecture, enabling real-time visibility and correlation between deploy events and performance metrics.
A step-by-step guide to catching real anomalies without drowning in false alerts.
