Reading, sketches, parked experiments, and things I quietly shipped. Not essays — just a dated trail.

• 13 MAY 2026 shipped

  Shipped v1 of blog.robbohome.com

  Astro + nginx on svr002 via the usual Pattern A CI/CD. Two essays, three notes, hand-drawn schematics, OG images, RSS.

• 12 MAY 2026 reading

  Re-reading the SRE Workbook SLO chapters

  Specifically the bits on multi-tier SLOs and burn-rate alerting. Looking at whether I can lift the framing for some smaller-scale things at home.

• 10 MAY 2026 note

  Drill restore — second one this year

  Pulled from the off-site Pi, mounted the dump on a fresh container, verified row counts. Found a path-assumption bug in the restore script (now fixed). Wrote it up as a note.

• 8 MAY 2026 parked

  AdGuard at home — turned off

  SPOF + IoT-bypass + non-engineer support overhead. Replaced with one router-line change to Cloudflare for Families. Project entry written up.

• 4 MAY 2026 sketch

  Sketched the homelab as a single SVG

  Three boxes, two arrows, one off-site dashed line, one Cloudflare cloud. Now used at the bottom of the production-system essay and on the homelab project page.
