Home-lab cloud, done the old-skool way.
Private storage, media, mail and messaging for family and close circles. Built on Synology, DNSSEC and too many late-night experiments.
About Scott
ScotNet is a personal infrastructure project built to stay quiet, stable, and boring in the best possible way. Everything runs on hardware I own, networks I control, and services I maintain so my family never has to think about where their data goes or why a provider suddenly changed the rules.
I don’t live online, but I trust systems that don’t panic when the internet does. Control beats convenience. Calm beats chaos. And if you never notice any of this, it’s working exactly as intended.

A small pet return page. No accounts, no ads, no trackers. Print your own tag (QR and/or NFC) and link it to a public page so a finder can contact you.
