The same work, read as through-lines instead of a list. Each thread is a hand-picked arc, oldest ideas to newest.

Monitoring, twenty years running 4 stops
I have run monitoring as a managed service for nearly two decades, and the homelab is where the practice sharpens. This thread follows one idea across all of it: watch everything, alert honestly, and let the failures teach.
Event technology that cannot fail 8 stops
One weekend a year, twenty thousand people show up and the software has to work. This thread walks the platform that runs HamCation, and the apps around it that scan badges, feed volunteers, and keep the prize drawings honest.
AI as a coworker 3 stops
I treat AI tooling as a practical trade, not a spectacle. These projects connect assistants to real operational systems and hold their output to production standards.
The network underneath 5 stops
Everything above depends on the network being boring. Segmentation, DNS, certificates, and throughput — the quiet work that makes the rest possible.
Practical automation 3 stops
If I have to do something twice, it gets automated. Small, dependable automations that keep paying rent long after the weekend they were built.
