 ====== What's New ======
-  * **April 2023** - New lab entitled "[[lab:Stack of NUCs:start|Stack of NUCs]]" released!
+  * **March 2025** - Advanced Lab [[https://github.com/doritoes/NUC-Labs/blob/main/XCP-ng/README.md|XCP-ng]] tested out the new Asus NUC10FNH (BXNUC10i7FNH1). This platform is amazing for the home lab and works like a dream with Terraform.
+  * **March 2025** - I wrapped up my long-running AWS labs (my wallet thanks me) and am working on DevSecOps this week. This might lead to some more interesting labs! I also send out 2 more NUCs to learners who want to grow their IP and network skills. Mentoring is one of my favorite things.
