Hello, reroute

This is a notebook for the parts of computing that are easier to understand after writing them down: why a packet took the surprising path, what a Linux tool is actually showing, or which tiny decision made an app feel better.

It is also a place for the useful detours—workbench experiments, hobbies, and things that are simply fun.

What to expect

• Networking and infrastructure notes grounded in real commands.
• Linux behavior explained from observation rather than folklore.
• App development write-ups, including the tradeoffs that did not fit in a commit message.
• Occasional side quests with no attempt to make them sound serious.

Code should be readable, even when it is small:

ip route get 1.1.1.1

The HTML version is written for people. Every post also has a direct Markdown version for agents, terminal tools, and anyone who prefers the source.

This paragraph made the first trip through the production workflow. A push to main is checked, built, backed up, migrated, and deployed to Cloudflare automatically. If you are reading it on blog.reroute.cc, the whole path worked.
