Keeping prod up, homelab half-broken, opinions always on.

DevSecOps practitioner in Indonesia, running a cloud ops team by day and a stack of Linux boxes by night. I write things down because I forget them — that part moved to blog.wibenson.com.

Current status

Five things I am nominally responsible for. Two of them are fine.

  • Production

    Operational

    Orchestrated workloads, declarative infrastructure, databases that hold real data. Boring on purpose, and I would like to keep it that way.

  • Homelab

    Degraded, as usual

    Linux boxes held together by a private mesh network. Something is always half-broken. It is usually DNS. It is always DNS.

  • Coffee intake

    Elevated

    Sustained well above baseline. Monitoring is in place. No remediation planned.

  • Football Manager save

    Major outage

    Lost the dressing room. Lost the league. Root cause identified as me. Rollback unavailable.

  • Blog

    Migrated

    Moved off the root and now lives at blog.wibenson.com. This page is what stayed behind.

What I run

Three services, two of them unpaid. Tools change every few years; the practice does not.

svc/production

The day job

DevSecOps, day to day. Container workloads that reschedule themselves, infrastructure declared in code and reviewed before it ships, relational databases carrying data someone would miss, and enough telemetry to know what broke before a ticket arrives.

Security and ISO 27001 compliance are part of the work, not a separate project. Running a cloud ops team mostly means unblocking other people before they get stuck.

  • Container orchestration
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Database operations
  • Observability
  • Incident response
  • ISO 27001

svc/homelab

The homelab

A handful of Linux boxes stitched together over a private mesh network, self-hosting more than they reasonably should: the blog, DNS filtering for the whole house, and a memory service so my agents remember what we did last week.

Permanently degraded. That is not a bug report, that is the operating model.

  • Linux
  • Mesh networking
  • Self-hosting
  • DNS filtering
  • Service uptime

Everything personal

Also me
SLA
None, obviously
svc/agents

The agent tinkering

Coding agents and a setup of my own, pointed at real operational work instead of demos. They handle the parts I would otherwise forget, which is a long list.

Supervised. Mostly. The memory service exists because I do not trust my own recall either.

  • Agent workflows
  • Ops automation
  • Context and memory
  • Human review
