Topics

This isn't a complete index. If you want every post tagged with a particular technology or domain, the tag pages exist and are thorough and alphabetically ordered and slightly tedious to navigate.

These pages are editorial — an attempt to explain what the site is actually about in each area, which posts are worth your time, and where to start if you're arriving without context.

Linux

More than twenty-five years of Linux — from floppy-driven trial and error to production systems. What stuck wasn’t the tools, but the way of thinking.

Infrastructure

Physical networks, Linux servers, platform administration. The full arc from plugging in cables to inheriting a two-hundred-and-forty-four-portal enterprise platform with no documentation and no predecessor.

On the habit of understanding why a system behaves the way it does before you change it. The networking posts, the platform posts, and one odd post about the limits of knowing something too well to explain it.

Homelab

Old hardware given a second life, controlled environments for learning things you can't learn in production, and a YouTube channel that documents more dead ends than success stories.
