What runs here
-
Game streaming on salvaged hardware
An eight-year-old mobile workstation turned into a hardware-encoded game streaming host.
-
Split seedbox
A torrent client on a VPS that keeps almost no data, writing to storage at home over a private mesh.
-
Self-hosted forge and CI
A git forge on a small VPS with a runner at home, building against a Docker daemon it cannot escape.
