- Footer: substrate line claiming the self-hosted stack (container, Traefik, 10G fiber, Forgejo registry, Terraform). The point is the substrate. - Avatar: CSS-only emphasized scanline treatment (color photo + 1px CRT lines at 0.28 opacity, slight contrast boost). Pulls the photo into the page's terminal aesthetic without re-encoding the source image. - Interest tags split into two visually distinct groups: PROFESSIONAL (accent border, accent text, tinted background) and OUTSIDE (default tag style). Keeps the at-a-glance technical credentialing for scanners while letting the personal tags read as personality. - Find me sidebar: Forgejo link now flagged with a small "self-hosted" badge in the same accent style as the project tech pills. - Layout tightening: main max-width 64rem -> 60rem, padding 1.5rem -> 1.25rem, sidebar 18rem -> 16rem, column gap 3rem -> 2.25rem, project list spacing tightened, footer max-width 36rem -> 32rem. Body has overflow-x: hidden as a safety net and several elements got overflow-wrap: break-word. - Bio cleanup: removed the generic "exploring agentic AI" sentence that pulled punches. (Tracked for replacement in archeious/unbiasedgeek-com#2.) - Not into copy: cryptocurrency + tribal arguments (vim vs. emacs, tabs vs. spaces, pineapple on pizza). Replaced "tech holy wars" with "tribal arguments" for tone. - Prose dash cleanup: replaced all `--` separators with the right punctuation per the new global rule (parens, ellipsis, comma, colon based on intent). Single hyphens preserved for compound modifiers and prefixes. - Added docs/session-13-transcript.md capturing the session story.

|
I've been working in IT since 1998, starting out as a system
|
|
administrator wrangling Windows NT 3.5 and Linux boxes before
|
|
either of them was particularly forgiving. I knew I'd end up
|
|
working with computers back in the third grade and never
|
|
seriously questioned it. Over the years the work has shifted
|
|
from racking servers and keeping them alive to writing the
|
|
code and infrastructure that does the keeping-alive for me,
|
|
which is roughly how I ended up as a Site Reliability
|
|
Engineer. Off the clock I build self-hosted developer tools
|
|
and agentic AI systems, mostly in Go and Python, and run a
|
|
homelab built around a fleet of Dell enterprise servers, a
|
|
Cisco Nexus 10G switch, and a 10 Gbps symmetric residential
|
|
fiber connection, which I'm slowly bringing under proper
|
|
infrastructure-as-code management.
|
|

|
|
<p>
|
|
When I'm not at a keyboard you'll find me on a trail
|
|
somewhere, hunting raids in Pokemon Go (already planning for
|
|
GoFest 2026), or losing an evening to anything space-related:
|
|
rockets, telescopes, the slow strange physics of it all.
|
|
I'm a lifelong video game collector across retro and modern,
|
|
console and PC, with a soft spot for city builders and
|
|
systems games like Factorio and Pokopia. Anything with a
|
|
satisfying loop and a spreadsheet hiding underneath.
|
|
Currently reading <em>Thinking in Systems</em>, and bouncing
|
|
between Helldivers 2 missions with my weekly game group and
|
|
Pokopia on the Switch 2.

Served from a container on bare metal in my basement, behind

Traefik, behind a 10 Gbps fiber drop. Built and deployed by

Terraform from a Forgejo container registry I also run. The

substrate is the point.
