👋 Hey Fediverse. I'm Doc.
I run things that aren't supposed to fail. Then I make them fail on purpose just to make sure.

☠️ I build and maintain hardened, multi-site infrastructure for radio stations, DJs, streamers, and anyone tired of rebooting a VPS because “the cloud” decided today was patch day.

⚙️ Backend’s mostly FreeBSD and HardenedBSD with ZFS everywhere.
💾 Storage: mirrored, snapshot, replicated, probably blessed by a data priest.
🔁 DR: tested, scripted, and verified hourly—because I don’t trust Tuesday me to remember what Friday me broke.

🐧 Also fluent in Linux (Debian, Arch, and sometimes the devil that is systemd).
PostgreSQL replication? Got it. Object storage failover? Mirrored.
Mastodon instance? Running glitch-soc. Because of course I am.

🧠 Tools: rsync, zfs send, tmux, profanity, and my own Bash scripts duct-taped together with just enough sanity to pass CI.

I believe in uptime, plaintext config files, and yelling at your own mirror before production does.
No Kubernetes. No YAML worship. Just clean, brutalist sysadmin work.
