Eberhard's Atelier

Notes, projects, and half-thoughts from a self-hosted desk

Direct Message→

Hi, I'm Eberhard. I build things and write about them here.

This is my area I like to post random things, from — short notes, long-form posts, and whatever else feels worth shipping. Self-hosted on a Raspberry Pi 5 behind a Cloudflare Tunnel.

The ESP32 on my desk that learned to open my front door

My story since I moved to Jakarta

Sixteen years inside Indonesia's media transformation — Kompas Editor for iPad, KompasTV, Gramedia Digital, KGX, Bhisma, Kompas.ID. The long arc, in my words.
