Your data, your hardware, under your roof.

We set up software that runs in your house instead of a data center, install security that answers to you and nobody else, build websites, and fix the electronics you already own. In person, close to home.

Illustrative. A typical family setup on a refurbished desktop.

Immich / Nextcloud / Vaultwarden / Jellyfin / Home Assistant / Paperless-ngx / AdGuard Home / Actual Budget / Tailscale or WireGuard / and whatever else fits the job

Four kinds of work. One idea behind them: you should own the technology you depend on.

Self-hosted software

Details

Photos, files, passwords, movies, notes, and the smart home, running on a small computer in your house instead of on a subscription.

Immich, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, and more

Security you own

Details

Cameras, locks, alarms, and sensors that record and run in your building. If someone wants your footage, they have to ask you.

Cameras, door locks, garage access, alarms, sensors, access control, point of sale

Websites and apps

Details

Fast, plain, good-looking sites and small web apps for businesses and people who want a real home on the web.

historiclineup.com, larrystokes.com, more on the way

Build, repair, repurpose

Details

PCs, laptops, phones, TVs, monitors, printers. We fix what can be fixed and give old machines a second job.

Screens, batteries, drives, cleanup, custom builds, home servers from old desktops

Renting your own life back is a bad deal.

The same six questions, answered their way and ours.

Question	Their cloud	Under your roof
Where your data lives	A data center you will never see	A box in your closet
Who can read it	The company, its partners, and anyone with a subpoena	You, and whoever you hand a key to
When the internet goes out	Cameras, locks, and files go dark	Everything keeps working inside the house
When the company changes its mind	The price goes up, or the product is discontinued	Nothing changes. It is your hardware
What it costs over five years	A subscription, every month, forever	Hardware once, plus a little electricity
Getting your data out	An export tool, if they offer one	It is already on your drive

How a job goes.

Four steps. You can stop after any of them.

Step 1
Talk

Tell us what you are paying for and what bugs you. Fifteen minutes on the phone or at your kitchen table.
Step 2
Plan

You get a written plan: what we would install, what it replaces, and what it costs. No surprises.
Step 3
Install

We bring the hardware, set it up, and move your data over. Watch, ask questions, or go about your day.
Step 4
Support

We show you how it works and leave written notes. When something breaks, call. We come back.

Some of the work.

Two live sites, and a demo system on the way so you can try the software before you buy a thing.
