About a year ago, I set out to build a local environment to run some of my side projects on my home network without relying on cloud services. Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services introduce network latency and can be cumbersome and expensive—especially for projects that involve running local AI models or storing large datasets. While the cloud is excellent for corporate-scale projects, it’s not always practical for those without corporate-scale budgets. I decided that creating a dedicated server was the best solution for my needs.

Hello and welcome to the new iteration of my personal blog.

I still have a few quality of life features to add, but at thw time of writing, most of the core functionality of what I am trying to achieve here is nearing completion. Expect a few changes if you happen to be reading this near the post date. In the meantime, I would like to write a little bit about this website and why I created it.
