Building.Breaking.Forging ahead.
Linux, open source software, operating systems,
and field notes from the journey.
At the forge
Things taking shape.
The work that currently holds my attention, professionally and otherwise. Most of it lives somewhere between operating systems and "this should be straightforward."
uCore
An opinionated Fedora CoreOS image with useful batteries included: containers, storage, virtualization, and servers that should quietly keep doing their jobs.
Snow & Floe
Debian-based bootable container images: a desktop, a server, and a useful excuse to explore what modern image-based Linux can become.
Open source systems engineering
Working where Linux, containers, automation, and upstream communities meet. The interesting problems tend to ignore neat category boundaries.
Field Notes
What happened
along the way.
Practical notes from building and using systems, especially when the obvious solution turned out to have opinions.

Working principle
Good systems are like old steel. Reforge them when you must; keep what made them sharp.Maintenance is a feature.
