Field notes · 2026

Small infrastructure, carefully kept.

We write about networks, hosting, backups, and the unglamorous work that keeps small services online.

Routing without surprises

A backup is a rumour until someone has restored it. A short checklist for proving the copy is real.

Keep what answers questions, rotate what fills disks, and never log the things you would not email.
