Hello and outlook
The first post on raskell.io. What this site is for and what I planned to write about.

In short
This first post introduces raskell.io as a place to document real work and share patterns other engineers can use, not thought leadership or personal branding. The original plan was to write about Linux and BSD systems such as Void and OpenBSD, open-source tooling, platform automation and whatever hard problem I was stuck on. Looking back from 2026, the scope grew to include edge systems and AI-assisted engineering, held together by one thread: systems under pressure and the tools that keep them running.
Hello world
This is the first post on raskell.io. My name is Raffael. I build software, mostly in the space of platform automation, edge infrastructure, and applied security. I also have a long-running interest in open-source software, operating systems, and the kind of hardware you find in recycling bins and give a second life to.
This site exists to document real work and share patterns that other engineers can use. Not thought leadership. Not personal branding. Just notes from the workshop.
What to expect
At the time of writing, I planned to cover:
- Linux and BSD systems, particularly Void Linux and OpenBSD
- Open-source tooling and infrastructure
- Platform automation and operability
- Whatever hard problem I happened to be stuck on
Looking back from 2026, the scope grew to include edge systems, AI-assisted engineering, and a few deep dives I did not expect to write. The thread that held it together was always the same: systems under pressure, and the tools that keep them running.
