After years of letting other people run my compute, I decided to take some of it back.
This site is the result. A small corner of the web where I document what I’m tinkering with. No analytics, no tracking, no cookie banners. Just text and the occasional schematic.
Why bother
The 90s had something. You could understand a computer. Not fully, but enough. You knew roughly what was happening when you typed a command. That sense of legibility has been systematically engineered out of modern computing.
Homelabbing is one way to get some of it back.
What’s running
The host machine is a 2013 Mac Pro, the trash can. Apple called it a pro machine, then quietly abandoned it. The used market called it a bargain. It runs Proxmox now, which feels like an appropriate second act for hardware that was once someone’s creative workstation.
What’s next
More posts. More tinkering.
