hey, i'm rusty.
I'm a technically-minded teenager with a soft spot for computers, Linux, homelabs, weird side projects, and the kind of books that ruin your sleep schedule. This is my little corner of the web, built by hand, hosted because I wanted to, and updated whenever I feel like it.
Most of my life runs off a heavily customized Hyprland setup and a homelab built out of one repurposed Dell Latitude. If you clicked in from a webring: welcome, take your shoes off, the guestbook is right here.

go somewhere
This site rewards poking around. Try the sidebar, or start with one of these:
- /computers: Linux, Hyprland, my homelab, and things I've broken on purpose to learn how they work.
- /projects: small, practical, occasionally ridiculous software I've built.
- /links: a hand-picked directory of other people's websites, the old-fashioned way.
- /guestbook: sign it. say hi. it's nice here.
webrings
This site rings through a couple of real webrings, Hotline, Null, and Rewild the Web. My own button, other people's sites, and a few stray buttons live over on cool websites.
