start with a problem

Expensive nerd infrastructure, documented by scar tissue.

Pages are written as field notes and build guides: what was tested, what broke, and what is still just a researched candidate.

⬡

Local AI

Ollama, GPU sizing, memory systems, assistant operations

◈

Homelab

ZFS, 10GbE, containers, media, backups, gotchas

◇

VR + Sim Rig

Pimax, Quest, OpenXR, sim racing configs, frametime fixes

Gear Notes

Owned, tested, rejected, and researched hardware lists

documentation standard

Documented with context.

Each page should show what was tested, what changed, and what remains uncertain.

  • Firsthand gear is labeled as owned/currently used or previously used.
  • Researched picks are labeled separately until they are actually tested.
  • Affiliate links, if added, will be disclosed and will not change the testing status.
  • Stale pages are marked clearly and updated when the configuration is verified again.
