ADVICE

Use Static Backups For Big Sites

  • Convert heavy CMS sites to headless setups and export flat files for resilient hosting.
  • Use S3/CloudFront or similar static hosting as a fallback to survive major provider outages.
ANECDOTE

Lean Home Stack With Clever IoT

  • Wendell keeps his home setup lean with an ITX box and a small VM fleet for IoT and services.
  • He isolates IoT on a separate network and runs a Pi Zero at the driveway to turn lights on by detecting his phone.
ADVICE

Automate Paper Capture Early

  • Automate document capture with a scanner, OCR and simple scripts to tag and store bills locally.
  • Train models later; start capturing data now so automation can be applied incrementally.
