Starting with a forgotten laptop and a desire to keep learning Linux, this homelab journey spans five years of upgrades, unexpected failures, budget hardware, and self-hosted services that eventually became the foundation for my personal projects and websites.

A niche benchmarking platform focused on transparent and verifiable hardware data, built as an experimental project in 2022 and developed into a standalone product.
