about

Nothing public-facing here. This server lives behind the couch, hosts a few self-hosted services for me and friends, and politely declines unauthenticated traffic.

It's been my main home machine since 2024. Mostly it's quiet. Once a week it grumbles for a few minutes during the backup window, then goes back to sleep.
