// lab notes, mirrors, and recommendations.
a public garage for the things i refuse to lose.
videos, code, art, field notes — all archived here so they survive if other platforms decide to forget. recommendations come tier-ranked, no affiliate, no sponsorship. tools you can trust. signal, not noise.
hubs
// each tile is a destination. dots show node status — live, standby, or offline.
videos, walkthroughs, build logs. mirror copies of everything i upload anywhere else — survives takedown.
tools i wrote · mcp servers · scripts that earned their keep. mirrored from github so it lives here too.
tier-ranked software recommendations (S/A/B/C). no affiliate, no sponsorship — just honest ratings.
hardware: laptops, keyboards, drives, networking. same tier system, same honest-opinion rule.
photography & art — cars, travel, things worth looking at twice.
long-form writing. field notes, post-mortems, opinion pieces. atom feed at /dispatches/rss.xml.
a permanent library of things i refuse to lose: papers, talks, mirrors, takedown-resistant copies.
physical things — stickers, prints, hardware kits. open when there is actually something to sell.
hire-a-hacker channel. defensive engineering, deception, honest pentests. ping for scoped work.
house rules
- honest over hype. tiered ratings (S/A/B/C). no "best of" listicles.
- zero affiliate, zero sponsorship. if you see a link, it's because it earned the slot.
- own work is labeled. if i made it you'll see OWN. otherwise it's a link, not a mirror.
- archive what i'd hate to lose. videos, talks, code — copies live here too.
- recommend, never demand. your stack is yours. mine is just a suggestion.
