lerko96	22660bed7a	fix(theme): unblock light mode in dev Hardcoded class="dark" on <html> meant React owned it via JSX. HMR re-renders and reconciliation kept restoring the class after classList.toggle removed it, so light toggle never stuck. ThemeScript already handles initial paint; suppressHydrationWarning covers the post-script class mismatch.	2026-04-27 00:49:57 -04:00

lerko96	e9d7a994c7	chore(content): refresh projects + timeline - featured: swap helm → nib, drop claude-vault, reorder - helm → archive - homelab description: 7 VLANs + Wireguard VPN (matches access-tier framing) - timeline: add Proxmox Backup Server 2025; pfSense entry corrected to Netgate 1100	2026-04-27 00:49:47 -04:00
lerko96	f6118aa7a4	refactor(homelab): rename VLAN col to Segment for VPN row VPN is an L3 tunnel, not an 802.1Q VLAN. Reframes the table as network segments / access tiers so the VPN row is consistent with the others.	2026-04-27 00:49:42 -04:00
lerko96	5dea6121a3	docs(homelab): trim operational detail from network table and ADRs Pure copy edit. Page now publishes the reasoning behind decisions, not the operational specifics (IPs, subnets, ports, hardware fingerprints, build pipeline mechanics).
