As an experiment (and a bit of a personal project), I’ve migrated robotsprocket.com to a new home: robotsprocket.dev.

The new site runs on a self-hosted Ghost instance, living on a server here on my own network. It’s something I’ve wanted to try for a while—not just for the control and flexibility that comes with running my own infrastructure, but also for the satisfaction of understanding exactly how every piece fits together.

This means that the site is no longer running on WordPress. I’ve always appreciated what WordPress can do, especially for rapid publishing and its broad plugin ecosystem, but Ghost’s lighter, more focused approach feels better aligned with what I want the site to be moving forward: simple, fast, and distraction-free.

Of course, running a site on my own hardware does come with trade-offs. Because it’s no longer hosted on a commercial platform, robotsprocket.dev may occasionally be unavailable—whether because of maintenance, a network hiccup, or some other quirk of home-lab hosting. I’ll do my best to keep downtime minimal, but if the site goes dark for a bit, that’s probably why.

As part of this change, further dispatches will no longer appear on robotsprocket.com. That domain will remain online, though, serving as an archive of past posts and projects for the foreseeable future. It’s important to me that older content stays accessible—it’s part of the site’s history, and I don’t want to break links or lose the record of where things have been.

So, from here on out, new writing and updates will live at robotsprocket.dev. The move feels like the right next step—smaller in scale, more hands-on, and hopefully a bit more interesting both technically and creatively.

If you’ve followed along before, thank you. I hope you’ll keep visiting the new space, even if it flickers out once in a while. If you want to visit my dispatches as served by this iteration of the site, you can visit this link.
