OH, YOU FOUND ME! 👋
I'm Jenny.
Cat-powered infrastructure gremlin. I build things, break things, fix things, collect books, and occasionally remember to `git add .`.

ABOUT ME
A little about the creature behind the keyboard.
I'm Jenny! I like computers, complicated ideas, good stories, and finding out what happens when I press buttons I probably shouldn't.
Most projects start with “I wonder if…” and end with a few extra services. When I'm not experimenting with infrastructure, I'm probably reading something sapphic, getting lost in Kingdom Hearts lore, or being supervised by Miso, Mirco, and Sweety.
“This should be a quick little project.”— famous last words before 5,000 new side projects

FEATURED PROJECTS
Things that escaped the TODO list.
ARIADNE
Ariadne
A location-tracking system for our group, with OwnTracks, maps, a database, and a Discord bot. It started as a little “where is everyone?” idea. Naturally, it became a whole application.
TRACKER
Mnemosyne
A personal home for my growing book collection, because apparently books need infrastructure. Built after the existing options didn't quite fit, with a particular weakness for sapphic stories, vampires, (dark) romance, and fantasy.
HOMELAB
Homelab
Servers, containers, Linux VMs, reverse proxies, dashboards, and services that all seemed like excellent ideas individually. At some point, the side projects became infrastructure. Now the infrastructure has side projects.
HONEYPOT
Arachne
The internet keeps trying passwords. I keep receipts. Deliberately fake services and login portals attract automated scanners, collect their requests, and send the highlights to Discord.
GOOD NEWS
Euphrosyne
The Good Fucking News Goblin. She looks for good news in science, animals, medicine, space, and technology, checks the sources, and brings the stories to Discord. A small antidote to doomscrolling.
Meet Euphrosyne →SIDE QUESTS
Little scripts, Discord bots, half-built apps, and ideas that became projects while I was supposed to be working on something else. Some are finished. Some are waiting patiently. Some may have developed their own ecosystems.
KATBYTE ARACHNE
The internet keeps poking the box. 🐈
Fake admin panels, imaginary infrastructure, and suspicious endpoints give automated scanners plenty to poke at. They bring the requests; Arachne keeps the receipts.
The public Observatory offers a small glimpse into that traffic, with activity graphs, aggregate patterns, and a recent feed. Apparently I needed a dashboard for internet goblins.
