About

Infrastructure engineer. I keep a small number of machines alive and write about it.

I work mostly on the boring end of systems: Linux boxes, load balancers, TLS, DNS, and the long tail of things that go wrong at three in the morning. Most of what appears here started as a note to myself during an incident.

What this site is

A static site. Three HTML pages, one stylesheet, a feed, and a 404 page. It is generated by hand and served by nginx from a directory on a single node in Frankfurt. There is no database, no CMS, no JavaScript.

What it is not

Not a consultancy, not a newsletter, and not updated on a schedule. When something interesting breaks, I write it up. When nothing breaks, nothing gets written.

Colophon

Set in the system UI stack, because it renders the same everywhere and costs nothing to load. Markup is hand-written, which is why the typography is inconsistent in places and why the page weighs about twelve kilobytes.
