About

This is my personal site. It is a general public extension of my homelab as well as a place for me to publish my notes on various topics.

About the site

To a great degree, the site is more or less a space for me to practice with PHP/SQL/LAMP stack administration, SIEM monitoring, etc etc. As stated above, the site is mostly just my public extension of my homelab.

Following from this, much of the development, administration, security, etc etc, is done manually and in-house for the sake of my own education and for research.

As far as content goes, most of what will be on this subdomain is going to be technical information relating to my professional knowledge.

When I'm trying to learn a topic, I tend to read up on it, do some practical application of the topic for a bit, and then to solidify my knowledge, I try to summarize and re-teach the topic. Accordingly, most of the content you'll see here is mostly me dumping my "re-teach" notes in a public space.

Of course, when I discover interesting things monitoring the server's logs or through other sources of research, that will inevitably be published here as well.

In any case, I hope the site can be useful to you.

The old glowbox.cc

From about 2011-2014 or so, I previously owned this domain, only re-registering it in 2023.

The old glowbox.cc was primarily a public Minecraft server and in-house developed imageboard to service the game server's community. We had a staff of around 3 or 4 moderators, a core userbase of about 50 people, and a cycling turnover of about 200 monthly new players.

For the most part, that iteration of glowbox was just another way for me to play around with PHP development and LAMP server administration.
