Hi, I'm Bug, the human behind The Bug Report. I previously served as the Lead Content Writer for The Multiverse School, exploring the practical frontiers of Large Language Models and NLP. You can still find my work there—I highly recommend their Prompt Engineering track or any of their AI classes if you want our machine gods to look upon you favorably in the AI wars of 2030.
What kind of content can you expect?
I focus heavily on foundational infrastructure, self-hosted environments, and the physical hardware that makes it all run. Instead of chasing the latest JavaScript frameworks, I spend my time configuring OpenBSD servers, deploying local agentic AI frameworks, managing enterprise-grade network routing, and reviving retro game consoles and other hardware.
Most of all, I build, analyze, and break things. Expect project logs, writeups, and deep dives into the technologies that give users actual leverage.
My Philosophy
I am a massive advocate for Linux, BSD, and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). On the Links page, you'll find resources that inform my design choices and my stance on digital autonomy. Complete privacy and security might be an uphill battle, but my goal is to help people explicitly define where they choose control over convenience — whether that means spinning up a personal Matrix server, routing through anonymous networks, or simply understanding how their data moves.
The Backburner
I have a habit of dreaming up interactive web apps inspired by projects like If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel by Josh Worth and One Million Checkboxes by eieio.games. Here are a few ideas I am putting out into the world as a form of public accountability:
- A website designed to induce the McCollough Effect on users
- Network graph depicting the community relationships that emerge from my site traffic, displayed on a 3-sphere or Ollivier-Ricci curve
- A client-side generator that turns any photo into a stereogram
- An interactive visualizer illustrating the size difference between a million, a billion, and a trillion things
They are listed from most to least likely to be built. Eventually, they will live here.
