NETWORKS · HOMELAB · AUTOMATION · QUESTIONABLE IDEAS

Welcome to
Diablo's Realm.

A personal corner of the internet for networking notes, homelab projects, useful tools, technical rabbit holes, and whatever else seemed like a good idea at the time.

01 / ABOUT

Built for the stuff I actually care about.

This site is equal parts notebook, launchpad, and excuse to keep building things. Expect networking, infrastructure, self-hosting, troubleshooting writeups, and the occasional rant about technology that should have worked the first time.

Nothing here is trying to become a startup. If it solves a problem, teaches me something, or makes the homelab a little more ridiculous, it probably belongs here.

Homelab Production, but with worse change control
Cloudflare Because exposing ports is overrated

02 / TOOLS

Useful doors into the realm.

Some services may require authentication or may not be intended for general public access.

03 / PROJECTS

Things currently consuming electricity.

CURRENT PROJECT

This website

Static site on Cloudflare Workers, deployed from GitHub, because apparently one harmless little homepage required a CI/CD pipeline and a DDNS migration.

Cloudflare GitHub

HOMELAB

Home infrastructure

Servers, containers, networking, reverse proxies, VPNs, storage, and a collection of services that absolutely could have been simpler.

Unraid Docker

NETWORKING

Lab & field notes

Useful commands, migration notes, weird edge cases, and the kind of troubleshooting knowledge that normally gets rediscovered at 2 AM.

Cisco Meraki Fortinet

04 / BLOG

Notes from the troubleshooting mines.

Things I wish vendors would stop making difficult

A completely calm and professional collection of infrastructure grievances.

Keeping old enterprise hardware alive against its will

Power bills, questionable drives, and the enduring spirit of "it still works."

Commands worth remembering so I don't have to

A searchable place for the useful little things that never stay in memory.
