What I write about

This is my personal site for technology, projects, and notes. I write about software development, share things I build, and dig into how systems work. Some posts are detailed technical investigations; others are simply things I want to write down.

The topic guides connect those articles into reading paths. The projects page collects code projects.

How to read the findings

These are technical write-ups, not a claim of expertise in every system mentioned. Versions, access requirements, source inspection, code fragments, and demonstrations matter more than a broad conclusion. A result on one build does not establish behavior on every version or server; a snippet is not necessarily a complete reproducible project.

For example, the Deno extraction article targets Windows binaries from Deno 2.7.0. The RabbitMQ scenario requires existing queue access, not an authentication bypass. The Vintage Story posts distinguish local client changes from server permissions and position validation. Read each article’s scope and caveats before trying to reproduce it, and test only on systems you own or have permission to examine.
