Self-hosting

Eighty pages to put a login in front of a website is a design failure, not a you problem.

The infrastructure this site runs on, and the routing and failover work that keeps it up.

A self-hosted deep research platform: multi-step retrieval and synthesis without sending the queries to somebody else's server.

Config files and local commands hold up on one host. Add a second machine and the cracks show. This is what breaks, and why.
