Why I run my own bastion host
On Tailscale, Next Terminal, and the quiet satisfaction of owning the access path to private machines.
Operational memory
Write the decisions.Reduce the unknowns.
Short records about infrastructure, networking, and the practical choices behind a small self-hosted setup.
The LAN that steel built
Networking notes from inside an industrial rolling mill, where reliability is usually more important than novelty.
Zero trust for a home lab
No open management ports, no public admin panels, and fewer assumptions about where a trusted network begins.
