Your 360° shots deserve better than looking like a cursed pancake. 🥞
From everyday photos and videos to full 360° content, ZimaOS Photos supports a wide range of formats natively—so you can look around and relive every angle right from your own NAS.
Dust off that @insta360. It’s got a job again. 📸

Photo search that understands more than keywords. Search "cats" and the lion shows up too — same family, after all.😂 Search "sea" and ocean shots surface right alongside. No exact terms needed to find the right shot in a massive library — a small feature that makes searching genuinely easier.

自宅ではZimaBladeを、RAGとDBのサーバーとして常時動かしています。
中身はAtom E3950、メモリ16GB、SSD 128GBのファンレス機です。SQLiteとベクトル検索のsqlite-vecをAPI経由で使っていて、AVX2非対応のCPUでも動いています。
重い計算はGPUサーバーに任せ、ZimaBladeは保存と検索だけを担当します。GPUサーバーはRTX 5070 12GB×1+RTX 5060 Ti 16GB×1(計2枚)、RAM 64GBで、StrataでQwen3.8-Flash-Nextを動かしています。埋め込みの計算もGPUサーバー側です。
分けたのは、GPUサーバーは検証でモデルや設定を頻繁に入れ替え、再起動やメモリ不足で止まることがあるからです。DBを別にすれば、GPUサーバーが止まってもデータは使え、片方の更新がもう一方を止めることもありません。LANやTailscale経由で、ほかの機器からも同じデータを使えます。
出典付きで答えるRAGの質問は、1回8〜9秒で返ってきます。ZimaBladeは小さく静かで、つけっぱなしにしやすいので、常時稼働のデータ置き場に向いています。
ZimaSpaceとRedditのr/minilabが「Self-Hosting Day 2026」を開催中です。セルフホスティング体験をr/minilabに投稿すれば参加でき、ZimaBoard 2やZimaBladeを含む200以上の賞品があります。投稿は10月25日まで、受賞者の発表は10月30日です。自宅サーバーの工夫がある方は、ぜひ応募してみてください。

Over the years, our photo libraries naturally grow with moments captured on different phones and cameras. With Zima Client now optimized for Duo, it’s easier to revisit those memories, see which device each photo came from, explore the rich metadata behind every shot, and share it directly to the apps you use.
Take a look at how your photos come to life on Duo. 📸

Not your usual ZimaBoard 2 project 👀
Roni Bandini turned a ZimaBoard 2 into an AI-powered Wi-Fi analysis tool using Ubuntu, Python, an Alfa Wi-Fi adapter, and Jev.
Wi-Fi packets are processed locally, while Jev evaluates coverage quality, congestion levels, and possible optimization actions—all presented through a real-time dashboard.
A great example of how ZimaBoard 2 can go beyond NAS and self-hosting into network diagnostics, RF monitoring, and even lightweight intrusion detection.

ANTHROPIC BILLS $200/MO AND OPENAI BILLS $200/MO. THIS FANLESS BOARD UPDATED ITS ENTIRE OS IN 20 SECONDS, IDLES AT 86 DEGREES AND HOSTS THE SAME STACK FOR $3 IN ELECTRICITY
00:34 the whole update is over before he finishes the sentence, "well that was quick and easy, probably 20 seconds later it said it's done and restarting device"
86 degrees. 20 seconds. $3 a month.
open zimaos settings, 1.5 sitting on 1.61 -> click update -> 40% downloaded before he can narrate it -> done, device restarting, refresh the page, logged back in -> btop is already installed, cpu, memory, disk, network, processes, 33 color themes -> two 2.5 gigabit ports, one still unused -> no fans, no cooling fight, no license
synology sells you a box with an os you cannot leave, unraid charges for a key, and this thing ships a full web ui with a linux system monitor baked in and updates itself in less time than it takes to read a changelog, which is the entire argument for owning the always-on node instead of renting one
the honest part: a fanless board at 86 degrees is not running a 70b model, this is the machine that stays awake and holds your files, the inference lives on whatever card you point it at
zimaboard 2 + zimaos 1.61 + btop + 2x 2.5gbe + fanless at 86f + no license key and no subscription
watch and save it, then stop renting the agent, elon put the same harness on github for free and the full $400 to $25 build is in the article below

There's finally a holiday for self-hosters!
The Self-Hosting Day 2026 promo is live, running September 25 through October 25, and AdGuard is one of the partners bringing prizes. Over on Reddit, the r/minilab community is celebrating people who run their own corner of the internet, so we came with something worth entering for.
What we're giving away:
5 lifetime AdGuard Ad Blocker Family licenses for the community story awards, plus 35 annual Ad Blocker Personal licenses, 35 annual AdGuard VPN subscriptions, and 25 annual AdGuard DNS Personal licenses in the lucky draw.
If you run a homelab, AdGuard Home is probably already on one of your boxes. It filters ads, trackers, and malicious domains for every device on your network, straight from your router or server. No per-device apps, no per-device settings. One install, and the whole house is clean.
To enter, share your setup, the apps you run, or your story in the comments of the Self-Hosting Day post on r/minilab before October 25. Winners are announced October 30.
