excūdō — to strike, to hammer out, to forge
This site exists as a place that is forged, not decorated. Built deliberately. Maintained deliberately. Identity matters here.

Tools matter. Humor matters. Competence matters.
Loyalty, grit, and persistence — not because it is glorious, but because it is necessary. You keep flying. You keep fixing. You keep going.
This domain will be used for learning, testing, and understanding how trust on the internet is established, inspected, and sometimes broken.
HTTPS is not decoration.
Certificates are not magic.
Trust is built — or it isn’t.
