From the Lab
GPU Mining Profitability 2026: Real Numbers for Every Electricity Rate
We ran the numbers on GPU mining profitability in 2026 — RTX 5090, RX 7900 XTX, and every US electricity rate from $0.10 to $0.32/kWh. Plus: does free solar power finally change the math?
TerraMaster F4-423 Review: A Year In — The NAS That Changed How I Think About Home Infrastructure
I bought a TerraMaster F4-423 to consolidate family data and get off Google Photos. A year later, it's running a full Docker stack, serving offline AI, and it's the most reliable machine I own. Here's the honest year-in assessment.
Running Project N.O.M.A.D. on a TerraMaster F4-423 (TOS 7): The Config That Actually Works
After fighting TerraMaster's ACL system and non-root Docker setup, here is the battle-tested docker-compose config that gets every Project N.O.M.A.D. service running reliably on TOS 7. Plus — why a NAS like this is the ideal SHTF offline knowledge machine.
ASIC Mining 2026: Is a Minimal Rig Worth It?
We ran the numbers on ASIC mining profitability in 2026 — Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Kaspa across US electricity rates. Does solar change the math, and which machines are actually worth buying?
Featured Builds
Ready to Build
Budget AI Workstation Build 2026: RTX 4070 Super + Ryzen 5 7600X
AI workstation build optimized for Stable Diffusion, LLM inference, and machine learning workloads with RTX 4070 Super GPU. Current market pricing ~$2,500 due to DDR5 and NVMe price increases.
Best Budget Gaming PC Build — ~$1,630 in 2026
A complete gaming PC targeting 1080p/1440p high settings on modern titles. Smart part choices that don't compromise where it matters.
Our Approach
No Fluff. Just Specs.
Every build guide uses real benchmark data. Every review tests what actually matters for your use case — not manufacturer marketing numbers.
Real Benchmarks
Actual FPS, render times, and hash rates — tested, not borrowed from press kits.
Price/Performance Focus
We call out the sweet spots and the rip-offs. Your budget deserves honest advice.
Kept Up to Date
Guides get updated when prices drop, new parts launch, or the meta shifts.
