- Sovereign AI Is Not a Flag Sovereign AI is often discussed as ownership of a model. The more useful question is what dependencies remain when the model changes, is withheld, copied or orchestrated.
- The Infrastructure You Cannot Copy A companion to "Sovereign AI Is Not a Flag". At the model layer, sovereignty is fragile because everything copies. At the physical layer, dependence becomes harder to escape because almost nothing does.
- Reusing public data at the point of friction How cup-check turns OpenCUP data into a local-first operational control, and why the design choices matter for public-sector software.
- Data in the digital transition of Italian public administration Analysis of the persistent gap between digital governance normative frameworks and organizational implementation capacity in Italian public administration.
- No Final Diagram Every stage of this homelab simplified something the previous stage made too complex. The next one will do the same. Infrastructure does not converge on a final state. It converges on a clearer understanding of what you actually need.
- What Breaks, What Survives Backup and monitoring are not separate concerns. Monitoring tells you when something breaks; backup determines how far back you can go. Together, they form the operational contract that makes the rest of the infrastructure sustainable.
- The Ciphertext Outlives Its Key Nine years ago I asked whether quantum computing would eventually kill Bitcoin. The same question, asked today about a national genetic database, has none of the qualities that made the original speculative.
- The Commit Is the Deploy How a private Git repository, a deploy script, and encrypted secrets turned a multi-node homelab into infrastructure that scales without scaling complexity.
- Two Nodes, One Lesson in Constraint From a four-node plan to a two-node reality. How energy costs, operational complexity, and data management shaped the compute layer.
- The accountability satisfies the citizen, not the agent Agentic AI promises to transform government. But in a system built on explainability and open government, where every decision must be traceable and attributed, where does the agent end and the bureaucrat begin?
- Building a Home Network You Actually Control Designing residential network infrastructure from scratch with architectural separation of concerns and principled infrastructure design.
- The process you know but cannot describe Formalizing a process you know intimately but cannot articulate. A case study in process modelling using BPMN and the Italian Highway Code.
- Building compliance tools before I knew what governance meant Two software projects that taught me more about digital transformation through failure than any textbook could. A retrospective on naive tool-building.
- A Single Source of Truth Is Not a Technical Problem Why centralising authoritative data in federated institutional networks is fundamentally a coordination problem, not an architecture decision.
- Why I Built a Homelab (and Why It Matters) Journey from commercial cloud dependency to self-sufficient infrastructure. From frustration to capability.
