Disclaimer

I’m just one person trying to share my experiences with like-minded individuals. On this site, I may write about things I’ve built and how I built them. When I do so, I’m writing as an enthusiast sharing what worked for me, and none of this is professional advice. Content and techniques presented here are for informational purposes only. My intention is to share and perhaps inspire. Not to instruct.

Learning in public. I consider this site a platform for learning in public. My posts may contain errors, omissions, or be otherwise incomplete. There are often many ways to solve a challenge, and what I share here are things that have worked for me.

Do your own homework. Before implementing anything from this site, please apply your own judgement, common sense, and analytical skills. I get things wrong, things change, and your equipment, systems, and configurations will never match mine exactly, so what worked for me may not work in your environment. Read the documentation, do your own research, check other sources, and make sure you understand something before you do it.

Computers and self-hosting. Commands and configurations posted here can delete data, break things, or expose your network if they don’t fit your specific situation. Read code before you run it, maintain (and test!) backups, and try things out somewhere that doesn’t matter first.

Woodworking and other craft projects. Many tools are dangerous even if you know how to use them, and that includes hand tools! Finishes, dust and fumes can make you sick. My shop habits aren’t a safety standard. Know your own tools, follow the instructions provided with them, review best safety practices before doing anything in your own shop, wear the right protection, and if something feels unsafe, stop. For anything structural or electrical, follow your local codes and talk to someone qualified. I am not an authority on codes or best practices.

You’re responsible for what you do. If you follow along, you do so at your own risk, and I can’t be held responsible for what happens.
