Over the last year, AI coding assistants have become a regular part of my development workflow. Like many developers, I have spent countless hours working with tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI. These tools have become incredibly capable partners for...

In my last post I alluded to some software projects I was working on, and in the nick of time I have two ready to share before we enter 2026.

Since I began using the internet in the early 90s I have always bookmarked everything I thought was unique,...

In my last post on running Ollama in my home, I detailed how I repurposed an Intel NUC as a mini-server to host Ollama, Docker services, Fedora Server, pi‑hole, and more (kevinquillen.com) for only $100.

With that server setup, I’ve...

5 years ago I decided to get a Raspberry Pi Zero W and install Pi-Hole on it for blocking bad traffic on our network. It worked incredibly well. The little Pi would stay on without a reboot...
