All quiet on the ridge
The homelab, the machines it runs on, and the services living inside them. Three servers named after halls, watched over by a fourth named after the guard who never sleeps.
The naming Valhalla and Asgard carry the load. Heimdall watches the bridge, which is exactly what he was put there to do.

Uptime
Nothing is measuring this yet.
Ninety days of marks, one a day, as soon as something is collecting them

Nothing is timing this yet.
Percentiles rather than an average, once there is something to take them from
Shape of it

Drawn by hand, uneven on purpose. The dashed box is the standby path that wakes when the fibre does not.
