Building
- Quill by MapleSpike — Canada’s public-sector data pipeline. The portal reports 207 data modules, 184 MCP tools and 13 jurisdictions; the API and the MCP server run on the homelab cluster.
- Astral Key — a single-binary Rust auth sidecar: WebAuthn passkeys, SIWE wallet login and JWT sessions on SQLite.
- k3s homelab — four Omarchy hosts, 120 Argo CD applications and eight GPUs, declared in git and reconciled by Argo CD.
- Hermes agent fleet — four hosts running Hermes Agent with role profiles, 18 MCP servers and a kanban production desk.
- AI Inference Gateway — an OpenAI-compatible gateway for local models: routing, circuit breakers, caching, RAG and MCP brokerage. Public code, not deployed in the cluster today.
- Site agency — a consent-first pipeline that builds local-business sites and hosts them from k3s.
Writing
The notebook is open. Three series are live:
- The Sovereign Architecture — twelve parts, a bare-metal diagnostic of the self.
- These Worlds Are Made of Light — five essays on the worlds, the people and the light that holds them together.
- The Sovereign Sysadmin — five essays on technology that earns its keep when you can still read, modify and rebuild it.
The newest two are The Airgapped Mind and Root Access and the API of the Sovereign Mind, both published 24 October 2026.
Music
Two albums so far, both on Suno as Reverb256 and both playable in the music section.
- GENERATION ZERO — eight tracks of dark cyber-trance, released 16 October 2026.
- These Worlds Are Made of Light — twelve tracks, released 11 October 2026.
Learning
- Advanced Rust patterns: SQLx, Axum, WebAuthn.
- MCP server development and integration.
- Agent orchestration with Hermes profiles.
- Local inference optimization on owned hardware.
Elsewhere
The professional half of this — client work, self-hosted AI systems, the pitch — is reverb256.dev. This site stays the notebook: the essays, the music, and the record of what the stack costs.
