About

Indie developer and writer, Australia. I build websites and network infrastructure, flip budget hardware, run Linux on machines that were supposed to be dead, and document all of it here. This site is static, self-published, and serves you exactly zero third-party requests.

The thread connecting everything: you shouldn't have to be watched to be online.
