Turns out you can do a lot as a non dev
The demo is turning a Zabbix Alert into a full overview and diagnosis of a problem with AI troubleshooting (which I tested across 30 different prompts).
If you work in IT, are involved in monitoring you might be interested

Im loving using AI (Gemini) i can through the use of prompts and direction create a Web app is huge.
I did this last night, and in a couple of hours created this.
It parses local and remote log files, AI analyses them and sends that to my discord

I've been using #tailscale for a few years and thought I'd give #twingate a go.
For Endpoint VPN back into a #homelab it's good, I like the #zerotrust model
The lack of #exitnode support on the free tier is however a deal-breaker as I use that a lot on public WiFi
