I’m a software developer interested in backend systems, self-hosting, networking, weird Internet protocols, developer tools, and game modding.
Mostly .NET, usually something running on Linux, occasionally something that probably didn’t need to be a server.
A few things I’ve built and keep coming back to.
Infrastructure / applications
A home for the events, host status, and diagnostics from my self-hosted services. Agents collect the data; a durable event pipeline makes it useful across web and desktop clients.
.NET · NATS JetStream · SQLite · Blazor
Games / applications
For when choosing a game takes longer than playing one. Picks from a public Steam library, with unplayed filters, local exclusions, and cached lookups.
.NET · Blazor · Steam API · SQLite
Networking / protocols
A small C program that listens on exposed TCP ports and watches the scanners, bots, and strange payloads that arrive. FreeBSD/Linux networking experiments with SQLite/NATS and companion tooling.
C · POSIX sockets · FreeBSD / Linux
I use GreenCloud VPS for several of my public services and project infrastructure, including Mission Control, Random Steam Game, and the Happy protocol services. Their pricing has made it practical for me to keep public services and networking experiments running without spending a pile of money on infrastructure.
The GreenCloud link is an affiliate link. I may earn a commission if you sign up through it.
This is the I2P deployment. Browser assets are local; some optional integrations may be unavailable.
I also do paid development and deployment work: .NET, APIs, Linux/VPS deployment, Docker, self-hosting, and infrastructure.
More tools, smaller protocols, and a few detours.
An experimental .NET shell with command packs you can rebuild and reload while you work.
SourceA task picker for too many projects: what’s been neglected, and what do I have the energy for?
Source.NET servers for the small web, with static content, dynamic pages, and plugins.
Routing, overlay networks, and finding more ways to put services on the Internet.
SystemsPerformance work, quality-of-life mods, and occasional interference with the colony’s gods.
WorkshopThis fake shell is an optional interactive feature. Type help to explore commands, including the visitor BBS.
Code, conversation, games, and mods.
