Spent time this week treating my notes as a first-class part of the homelab.

📂 Migrated my Obsidian vault into a versioned location, initialised git, pushed to a private GitHub repo, and configured Obsidian Git for auto-commit and pull. History, backups, and sync across devices with zero manual effort once it settled in.

🗂️ Then I restructured the vault into a numbered folder hierarchy: 🔹 00 - Hub 🔹 01 - Career 🔹 02 - Homelab 🔹 (and so on)

Each top-level folder has a hub note linking out to subtopics in a star pattern. Nothing more than a couple of clicks from the index.

📚 Finally, I wrote actual reference docs into it: hardware inventory, network and services architecture, IP scheme, runbooks, service-specific notes, research notes. The stuff I'll thank myself for when something breaks at 11pm and I can't remember which port on the patch panel goes to which room.

Documentation isn't optional infrastructure. It's the difference between a homelab and a pile of cables.
