Infrastructure Lab
Networks, VLANs, routing, telephony, monitoring, automation, and the home systems that tie it all together.
Personal infrastructure garden
Systems, signals, software, and old machines.
Apfel Orchard is a personal lab and notebook for network engineering, home infrastructure, vintage computer restoration, preservation work, and creative experiments.
Orchard rows
Separate spaces for the parts of the lab that keep growing: infrastructure, preservation, music, and written notes.
Vintage Computing
Machines, disks, documentation, odd interfaces, and restoration notes from the vintage side of the orchard.
Creative Work
Music experiments, sound design, photography, and small digital artifacts from the less deterministic side of the lab.
Working principle: build the system, document the behavior, preserve the weird parts, and leave enough notes for the next person to understand what happened.
