Self-Hosted Setup
Linux Mint, Beelink mini PCs, Gitea, Syncthing, KeePass, MoneyDance, and practical home infrastructure.
Tech Experiments
Self-hosted tools, small automations, and practical tinkering.
Linux, dashboards, local tools, data models, home systems, and experiments that solve actual annoyances.
This section is for the technology experiments that are useful enough to document: Linux setups, self-hosting, MagicMirror modules, local dashboards, data utilities, and tools that make home, work, or planning a little easier.
Overview
Useful tinkering beats shiny tinkering.
First-pass page shell. We will add the real content next.
I like technology when it solves a real problem, reduces friction, or helps people see something more clearly. That is true whether it is a professional business system or a home dashboard running on a small Linux box.
This page will collect notes, screenshots, setups, lessons learned, and future ideas for the technical side of the site.
Focus Areas
What this page will cover.
2
MagicMirror Modules
Weekly meals, choice boards, health dashboards, chores, calendar, NASCAR standings, weather, and radar.
3
Automation & Data
Small scripts, reporting, data models, workflows, and tools that make recurring tasks less painful.
Next Content Pass
What we should add next.
These are placeholders on purpose — structure first, content second.
Add system inventory
Document current home tech and self-hosted services.
Add MagicMirror screenshots
Show modules, layout, purpose, and setup notes.
Add script/project notes
Track MoneyDance import scripts, automation ideas, and utility tools.
Add lessons learned
What works, what breaks, what is worth repeating, and what should be left alone.
Ready for the next layer?
Once the structure feels right, we can add real posts, examples, photos, links, downloads, and page-specific navigation.
