Every blog starts with a post about starting a blog. It’s tradition at this point.
So here we are.
Why now?
I’ve been meaning to write publicly for a while. The usual blockers: not having anything interesting to say (wrong), waiting for a polished enough setup (irrelevant), needing a clear niche first (a trap).
Writing forces you to actually understand something. You can hand-wave through a conversation in a way you can’t hand-wave through a post. If you don’t know it well enough to explain it, the draft will make that obvious pretty quickly.
So this is partly about sharing things I’m working on, and partly about making sure I actually understand them.
What I’ll write about
Home labs, networking, Linux, and general technology. The things I’m tinkering with or have figured out the hard way. Mostly practical stuff.
The setup
This blog runs on Astro, a static site generator that ships zero JavaScript by default. Posts are Markdown files. It works, it’s fast, and I can write in my editor of choice.
I’ll write more about the stack at some point.
Anyway. Hello.
