I selfhost this blog, do a lot of coding, and generally do "computer stuff" on a number of different systems. Here's what I use, current as of 2026-01-27.

My server infrastructure is quite sprawling, but here's the short info. For more detail, please see my perpetually-"upcoming" blog post or [my rack tour videos on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNfKWbHAcA3PcEpFfS1GqFcs7EkKiBOQr).

## Networking
My network infrastructure hardware is relatively tame - a pair of switches and a pair of FreeBSD `pf` router/firewall systems at each side for redundancy.
### Core Switches
Dell N3048P - 48x 1GbE PoE + 2x 10GbE SFP+
Dell N4064F - 48x 10GbE SFP+ + 2x 40GbE QSFP+
### Wireless Access Points (x2)
Ubiquiti Unifi UAP-AC Pro 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.3ac PoE
### Local Routers: FreeBSD on Debian on SZBOX G30B Mini-PCs (x2)
