Even though I primarily work on a local code forge, I am trying to get code up on Codeberg & GitHub
Allow employees to file critical safety paperwork for COR safety compliance. Store user data within Google Sheets for human readability, and for the power of Sheets query. Recall filed paperwork that requires manual review and signatures. Format Sheets data back into a structured and printable form including employee signatures. Automatically print and notify the required parties on user submissions that require oversight. I'm using Google Forms API, a bit of Google AppScript, server side JS, and some Linux magic on the back end to make all this happen.
Building out 10G fiber at the rack, and two separate office spaces within the house. Using Intel X520-DA1 PCI-E nics for x86 boxes, thunderbolt Sabrent TH-S3EA dock in the upstairs office, and a L2 managed TP-Link JetStream TL-SX3008F 8-Port sfp+ 10G switch. I don't really need my switch managed but price and performance are right👍️
Android Server Dashboard is a JS project that allows users to manage Android devices in a central place. Users can view device information, install apps, remote display access, remote fastboot flashing, and even SSH access.
From diy racks with full HPE ProLiant, Dell PowerEdge, and cisco l2 switches. To artisanal purpose build compute that is planned, purchased, assembled, and deployed. The lab has taken many forms over the past 10+ years, with countless software stacks, and technologies tested. The current 2025 lab is heavily NixOS with a focus on reproducible software builds, container management, MicroVMs, and networking. You can peruse most of my Nix code that is managing all this on Codeberg
Creating environments and testing technologies, deploying systems in the wild, and absorbing technologies... 😐 absorbing
Creating structures from raw materials, designing and actualizing with my hands.
To the core ☱ I bleed🩸for this
Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration.
Is a Flake to run lightweight NixOS virtual machines on NixOS.
For when a container isn't reproducible enough.
You could raise an issue on GitHub for this repo | Maybe over here on Mastadon | Formally with Linkedin I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
