Field notes

Homelab, self-hosting, and Claude Code

I'm Jayson Stemmler, a data scientist who runs a homelab and self-hosts more than is strictly sensible. This site collects the things I've learned that weren't obvious — problems that took real digging to diagnose, written down clearly enough that the next person doesn't lose an evening to them.

Each debugging post opens with the wrong hypothesis first, because that's usually what you currently believe. Every command shown was actually run, and every number is real.
