Tech Notes

Short, copyable notes—built from real troubleshooting

These are operator-style notes: what changed, what broke, and the exact steps that fixed it. No SEO fluff.

What gets documented

  • Game hosting ops: backups, update workflows, modpack discipline, and performance checks.
  • Virtualization: VM templates, safe updates, resource sizing, and common failure modes.
  • Networking: VLANs, firewall rules, troubleshooting steps, and “why did this stop working?” notes.
  • Storage: capacity planning, health signals, and recovery validation (restores that actually restore).

Safe update process

How to stage changes so you do not burn a weekend on rollback.

How to verify restores so “backup” actually means recoverable.

Notes start as concise “operator checklists.” When something becomes a repeatable service, it gets linked from Hosting and referenced in Projects when applicable.
