Building a fusion reactor in the garage.
Not literally. But that's the energy. The forge is the working half of the site — field notes, code, the tools I build, and the work I sell. Every part is welded in the open and mirrored here, so it keeps running even if a platform somewhere decides to forget it. No affiliate, no sponsorship. Signal, not noise.
forge stations
the knowledge base. notes, code, papers, and mirrors — every entry tagged to its source: my repo, github, vendor docs. copy it, clone it, or follow the link. takedown-resistant by design.
self-hosted model context protocol servers — email/domain enrichment and cheap-first model routing. real code you can run today, sold as custom builds.
managed deception. a live public sensor with an activity graph, plus custom honeypots that imitate your stack. nothing legitimate ever touches them — so every hit is intel.
defensive engineering, deception, honest assessments. basic to advanced, priced in the open — then we scope the rest over a call.
videos, walkthroughs, build logs. mirror copies of everything i upload elsewhere.
recon tooling on its own hardened node. external — opens jrt.joeromaine.com.
the arcade — gemtd builder and the gr86 encyclopedia. external — opens gaming.joeromaine.com.
house rules
- honest over hype. tiered ratings (S/A/B/C). no "best of" listicles.
- zero affiliate, zero sponsorship. if you see a link, it earned the slot.
- own work is labeled. if i made it you'll see OWN. otherwise it's a link, not a mirror.
- archive what i'd hate to lose. videos, talks, code — copies live here too.
- recommend, never demand. your stack is yours. mine is just a suggestion.
