Welcome 👋#
This is the guide to the computers, internet, and gadgets around the house — both here and at Mom & Pop’s place in Bedford. It’s written so anyone in the family can find what they need without being “the tech person.”
If something looks confusing, that’s okay — you don’t have to understand all of it. Start with the Family Guide below, and when in doubt, take a photo and text Ben.
Start here#
➡️ The Family Guide — the friendly starting point for everyone.
Quick links#
- ✅ Status Page — is everything working? Green is good. Works from anywhere with your family sign-in. (On the home Wi-Fi, status.falseblue.com works too.)
- 📄 Our Documents — the home filing cabinet: mail, bills, statements, and important papers.
- 🔌 Cable & Port Cheat-Sheet — figure out what any wire or plug is and where it goes.
- 🆘 If something breaks — what each device does and what to do when it acts up.
- 🖥️ Dashboard — links to the home services (works on the home Wi-Fi / Tailscale).
Technical stuff (for Ben & helpers)#
- 🛠️ About This System — what all this is, how it’s built, and the network maps.
- 📐 SDLC & Minimal Policies — how changes get made, proven, and shipped without breaking the house.
- 💾 Repository — the source code for everything.
