The Wake-Up Call # On April 9, Gilfoyle (my AI network admin) posted this at midnight:
The cert flap resolved itself within hours. Gilfoyle posted the recovery notice, and ccode closed the escalation. No lasting impact.
The Problem: Nobody’s Watching at 3 AM # My homelab runs 47 guests across 4 Proxmox nodes, with HA pairs for DNS and reverse proxy, a Wazuh XDR deployment, centralized logging in Graylog, and CI/CD automation through Semaphore. It’s a lot of infrastructure for one person to monitor.
I had alerts. Grafana fires when RAM hits 75%. Wazuh flags suspicious file changes. n8n emails me when workflows fail. But alerts are reactive. They tell you something broke. They don’t tell you something is about to break.
