● Sudo-Development / online

Build it.
Break it better.

I document systems projects, troubleshoot difficult technology problems, and explain what I found. I also keep a record of the failures and fixes that survive a reboot. The longer write-ups are in Writing.

updated as I go

I add a page when there is a project to document. Some entries end with a fix; others stop at the exact point where the evidence runs out.

// what this is

Sudo-Dev is my working notebook: Home Assistant and network hardware, macOS tools, small websites, storage problems, and the commands that finally made a machine behave. The subject changes; the notes keep the trail.

// the short version

What I work on

practical systems work

Linux systems administration

Servers, services, storage, permissions, updates, and the troubleshooting that keeps a system understandable.

Infrastructure & networking

Home networks, DNS, remote access, routing, and the connective tissue between devices.

Home automation & protocols

Home Assistant, Zigbee, Thread, Matter, and the hardware decisions that make those layers cooperate.

Documentation & web

Small sites, deployment work, technical notes, and explanations that leave a useful trail behind.

// a little context

360+ technical project threads.

This count comes from an exported project history covering Linux, networking, automation, web, and hardware. It includes follow-up troubleshooting threads, so it is not a claim of 360 separate finished products. It is a more honest measure of how much work has gone into the notebook.

Home Assistant / Thread

Too many border routers

A myQ garage door led to Homebridge, an Odroid M1, Zigbee2MQTT, and an ESP32-S3/H2 Ethernet build in 2024. The result is a working home stack and a documented Thread build.
