projects

write-ups on homelab builds, security experiments, AI tinkering, and anything else i've documented along the way.

my intention here is to eventually have more detailed writeups available about whatever projects i work through.

plex media server

// UNDER CONSTRUCTION // CHECK LATER FOR ACCESS //

this is a private media server for friends and family. if you've been given access, log in below to browse the library or submit a request.

not sure what to watch? browse the collection through plex, or use overseerr to request something new and i'll see if i can get it added.

plex — stream movies & TV
overseerr — request new content

about

hi, i'm joey!

at the moment, i'm studying cybersecurity and AI. most of my free time goes toward tinkering with my homelab, and working on this site to braindump whatever i'm working on (when i remember).

when i'm not in a terminal (read: breaking my systems), i'm trying to learn more about web development, deep-diving music (discovery, as well as playing guitar), or gaming.
