Your data, your hardware, Under Your Roof.

We set up software that runs in your house or your shop 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. Shops run the same thing, bigger.

Four kinds of work.

One idea behind them: you should own the technology you depend on.

01

Self-hosted software

Mostly homes

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

03

Websites and apps

Mostly businesses

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

04

Build, repair, repurpose

Home and Business

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.

QuestionTheir cloudUnder your roof
Where your data livesA data center you will never seeA box in your closet
Who can read itThe company, its partners, and anyone with a subpoenaYou, and whoever you hand a key to
When the internet goes outCameras, locks, and files go darkEverything keeps working inside the house
When the company changes its mindThe price goes up, or the product is discontinuedNothing changes. It is your hardware
What it costs over five yearsA subscription, every month, foreverHardware once, plus a little electricity
Getting your data outAn export tool, if they offer oneIt is already on your drive

Every one of their answers has happened to someone. Here is the record, dated and sourced.

How a job goes.

Four steps. You can stop after any of them.

  1. Step 1

    Talk

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

  2. Step 2

    Plan

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

  3. Step 3

    Install

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

  4. 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.
