About

Hey, I'm Jon. I'm a tinkerer — the kind of person who sees a broken piece of hardware at a garage sale and immediately starts thinking about what could live inside it.

This site is a place for me to write up my experiments, projects, and occasional failures. If something took me a weekend of troubleshooting to figure out, it probably deserves a write-up so the next person doesn't have to go through the same.

My interests tend to cluster around homelabs, privacy, physical computing, and the security community. I've been to DEF CON more times than I probably should have, and I have an RFID implant to prove it.

The "Idiot" in the title is self-deprecating on purpose. I'm not a professional. I'm someone who tries things, breaks things, and occasionally gets them working.

The Setup

Currently running a three-node Proxmox cluster at home with more containers than I'd like to admit. You can find me on GitHub.
