Esse quam videri — to be, rather than to seem.
I build small, self-contained tools and run them myself. Most of it lives on a Raspberry Pi 5 in my living room — around 30 containers, no cloud, backed up off-site. What I publish is the part that is useful to someone other than me.
DNS blocklists against disinformation, propaganda and tracking — 11 categories, 6 languages, exported for Pi-hole, AdGuard, dnsmasq, Unbound and RPZ. Runs entirely in the browser: no build step, no dependencies, works offline.

Storage is NVMe, shared over Samba. Fan curve, watchdog and backup verification are scripted — if something breaks at 3 a.m., the Pi tells me before I notice.
