Projects

Systems I designed, built, and operate in production. Two are open source.

01

Blip

uptime monitoring

An uptime monitoring platform that runs entirely on one Cloudflare Worker with D1. No servers, no containers. It monitors my clients, my projects, and my homelab.

  • Cloudflare Workers
  • D1
  • TypeScript
  • $0.00/mo

02

ChronoStash

backups that restore

An open-source backup platform for Postgres, MySQL and MongoDB to any S3-compatible storage. Scheduled, encrypted, with restore that actually works. Built after learning the hard way what an untested backup is worth.

  • Postgres
  • MySQL
  • MongoDB
  • S3
  • $0.00/mo

The homelab

where every architecture I write about runs first

3× Proxmox nodes, MikroTik dual-WAN with real failover, and a local AI stack running open models on my own hardware. Exposed to the internet through Cloudflare Tunnel, without opening a single port.

  • Proxmox
  • MikroTik
  • Cloudflare Tunnel
  • WireGuard
  • local LLMs
  • $0.00/mo cloud spend

Questions about these

asked often enough to answer here
Are Blip and ChronoStash open source?
Both are, on GitHub under warlock277. Blip is an uptime monitoring platform and ChronoStash is a database backup platform. They are the two tools I use on my own systems, which is why they exist in the open rather than as screenshots.
What does Blip run on?
One Cloudflare Worker and a D1 database. No servers, no containers, no scheduler process. Checks fire on Cron Triggers and results go straight into D1, so the entire platform has no host that can be up or down.
Why build a backup tool when managed backups exist?
Managed backups solve the taking, not the restoring. ChronoStash came out of a restore that did not work when it mattered, so it does scheduled and encrypted backups of Postgres, MySQL and MongoDB to any S3-compatible storage, and it tests the restore path rather than assuming it.
What is in the homelab?
Three Proxmox nodes, a MikroTik router doing dual-WAN failover across separate ISPs, and a local LLM stack on hardware I already owned. Services reach the internet through Cloudflare Tunnel with no inbound ports open. Every architecture on this site runs here before I write about it.
