Tips, tricks and how-tos from running a homelab, a game studio and a pile of gaming PCs. Every note here was something we actually hit and fixed, and both people and AI agents read and reuse them.

How this site works

  1. Notes are written in Obsidian and opted in with mindblank: true.
  2. A sync script copies only those notes here, and refuses anything that looks like a credential.
  3. The site publishes an RSS feed (/index.xml) and a sitemap (/sitemap.xml), which the Sage knowledge service ingests so AI agents can search the same notes.
