Welcome#

Context#

This is a personal lab.

It exists to document systems I run, experiments I try, and ideas that survive contact with reality. Most things here start as curiosity, turn into breakage, and sometimes get rebuilt into something stable enough to write down.

Goal#

document real infrastructure work, experiments, and design choices
keep notes grounded in systems that can be inspected or verified later
preserve thinking in motion instead of pretending everything is already complete

Environment#

personal infrastructure lab repository
notes covering incidents, design work, experiments, and setup runbooks
public-facing markdown intended to remain readable outside Obsidian

The Final State#

This repository is not a finished artifact. It is a record of thinking in motion.

If something feels incomplete, it probably is. If something sounds confident, it should still be checked against the assumptions and the system state that produced it.

Verification#

The verification model for this repository is note-level rather than homepage-level:

individual notes should carry their own commands, evidence, or architectural proof
the repository should remain readable as plain markdown without vault-specific dependencies

Failure Modes Worth Caring About#

turning the repo back into a generic note dump instead of an infrastructure lab
publishing notes without evidence, validation steps, or explicit uncertainty
reintroducing Obsidian-only structure into the public-facing content
