| 10/9/25 | Episode 60: Reviewing Your Homelab, Sick, and Sleep-Deprived | This week on Crowbar Kernel Panic, we’re reviewing your homelab… while sick, sleep-deprived, and running on cough drops. Bo’s been fighting off a plague for two weeks, but we didn’t want to skip an episode — so we’re keeping it chill, catching up on community comments, and checking out an absolutely insane listener-submitted homelab from Levix that puts both of ours to shame. We also talk about hitting 400 subscribers (!!!), home server efficiency, Proxmox and TrueNAS setups, and Josh’s continuing saga of cursed motherboards and mysterious reboots. If you’ve got a homelab — big or small — send it in! We’d love to feature it on a future episode. 📩 Submit your homelab: crowbarkernelpanic@pm.me 💬 Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/qbV6eqkA 🎥 Watch the vlog: https://youtu.be/E0297HU2zsk Thanks for 400 subs, and for letting us hang out and be ridiculous every week. See you next episode — hopefully less sick, but just as sleep-deprived. | — | ||||||
| 9/22/25 | Episode 59: Homelab Hardware Showdown: Rack Servers vs Workstations vs Mini Clusters | Welcome back to Crowbar Kernel Panic! 🚀 In this episode, we dive into the three main “lanes” of homelab hardware and help you decide which one makes sense for your space, budget, and goals: Lane 1: Refurb Enterprise Rack — the loud, hot, datacenter monster 🏢 Lane 2: Workstation Builds — the “Goldilocks” option for power and sanity ⚖️ Lane 3: Low-Power Mini Clusters — silent bookshelf datacenters 📚 We compare cost, noise, power draw, expandability, and real-world use cases. Plus, we talk through subscriber comments, Kubernetes setups, and share some personal homelab stories (including when things go hilariously wrong). If you’re thinking about building your own homelab, or just want to hear about the trade-offs, this episode is for you. 👉 Join the Discord for discussion and advice: https://discord.gg/Nx6HgaAuZ3 👉 Follow along with the GitHub configs: https://github.com/bomccoy/homelab-proxmox-k3s | — | ||||||
| 9/8/25 | Episode 58: Homelab Projects That Will Boost Your IT Career | In this episode of Crowbar Kernel Panic, Bo and Josh break down the Top 5 homelab projects that aren’t just fun — they actually build real skills that can help you land (and grow in) an IT or DevOps career. We cover: How networking projects like Pi-hole, Unbound, and OpenSense teach fundamentals you’ll use in every IT job. Why virtualization with Proxmox and VMware is the gateway to enterprise-level skills. The power of containers with Docker and Podman (and why they’re unavoidable). Why Kubernetes is worth learning at home, even if it feels overkill. The often-forgotten importance of backups and disaster recovery — with real stories of failure and recovery. This isn’t just tinkering — these are the homelab projects that can set you apart in interviews and build confidence for real-world IT challenges. 👉 Which homelab project taught you the most (or burned you the hardest)? Tell us in the comments! | — | ||||||
| 8/18/25 | Episode 57: We Let AI Join Our Podcast (Chaos Ensued) | What happens when two Linux nerds invite AI as a guest on their podcast? In this episode, Bo and Josh kick things off with some Capture the Flag war stories and home lab adventures before welcoming ChatGPT onto the show for a one-of-a-kind conversation. Together, they dive into AI ethics, open-source, digital privacy, and even ask a few ridiculous rapid-fire questions. Whether you’re here for cybersecurity banter, retro tech nostalgia, or the future of AI, this episode has something for you. 🚀 Stay Connected: YouTube: https://youtu.be/3R1rYNJw1_Q Send us an email at CrowbarKernelPanic@pm.me Join us on Discord. https://discord.gg/Nx6HgaAuZ3 | — | ||||||
| 7/14/25 | Episode 56: Stop Killing Games: Who Really Owns What You Buy? | In this episode of Crowbar Kernel Panic, we dive headfirst into the Stop Killing Games initiative — a global pushback from gamers, preservationists, and developers against the increasing trend of publishers shutting down games, removing them from stores, or making them unplayable even after purchase. From Ubisoft delisting The Crew to the short lifespans of live-service games like Rumbleverse and Knockout City, we explore the big question: Do you really own a game once you’ve paid for it? We break down: The origins of the Stop Killing Games movement High-profile shutdowns and delistings What happens to single-player games with always-online DRM Publisher ethics: Should they patch games to work offline before decommissioning? Legal and moral questions around cracking and emulation The role of the modding community and emulators in digital preservation How platforms like Steam, GOG, and Epic compare in this landscape Why indie developers and players alike should care about this trend Along the way, we share our personal takes on digital ownership, recall games we lost to shutdowns, and ask if we’re headed toward a future where even single-player experiences come with an expiration date. To close the show, Bo gives a quick update on his ongoing Godot card game project, ShadowLight — a solo dungeon-crawler inspired by dark fantasy themes, with a twist on time, memory, and resource management. If you care about preserving games, owning what you buy, or just want to hear what it’s like to build a game from scratch while the industry melts down around you — this episode’s for you. 🚀 Stay Connected: YouTube: https://youtu.be/3R1rYNJw1_Q Send us an email at CrowbarKernelPanic@pm.me Join us on Discord. https://discord.gg/Nx6HgaAuZ3 Music from this episode "Bit Quest" and "Basic Implosion" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | — | ||||||
| 4/26/25 | Episode 55: We Didn't See This Coming: Oblivion Remaster Drops + AI Life Hacks | In this episode of CKP, our plans got absolutely wrecked — but in the best way possible! We dive headfirst into the surprise announcement and release of Oblivion Remastered. From our nostalgic memories of the original release to first impressions of the remaster’s visuals, performance, and subtle changes, we cover it all. Plus, we go off the rails brainstorming how to use AI (specifically ChatGPT) to transform everything — from meal planning and workouts to fishing trips and even podcast show notes. We also joke about existential crises, AI accountability shock collars, and why nostalgia lighting is so important. If you love Elder Scrolls, tech experiments, or just chaotic good energy, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. — 🎮 Topics: Oblivion Remastered impressions The impact of surprise releases Using ChatGPT as a life coach Nostalgia vs realism in remakes Steam Deck performance thoughts 🔥 Stay tuned for next episode: Top 5 PlayStation Era Games! | — | ||||||
