I build offline-first shelter, heat, and compute you can stand up on a phone and a used PC.

Index: canonical · pins, not a third clone
Operator notes: wisdom-scaffold · v0.1.0 sidekick
- Local 7B coder on an OptiPlex. The phone is the client. No cloud required for inference.
- Proof-of-physical-work ledger — append-only hash-linked jsonl in openroot.
- AeroCement + Black Locust RMH — walls and heat you can build with a drill and a bucket.
- Missouri plantings and a two-node Syncthing mesh (A15 + box).
η = useful joules / human joules. If a repo does not raise that ratio, it is archived or pinned, not featured.

Pinned on the profile should stay: openroot, une, aerocement, black-locust-rmh, openroot-spoke-template, wisdom-scaffold (swap agape-une if you must drop one).
This is not a product funnel. It is a public workshop.
If the code or the build notes saved you a furnace, a cloud bill, or a week of setup:
- Use it and file one concrete issue. That is the highest-η gift.
- Sponsor time so the next commit is a measured yield (ledger line, not a new brand): GitHub Sponsors on this profile when enabled, or email jesseray718@gmail.com with a single sentence of what you used.
- Hardware / travel / trees: say so in the email. I will not invent a token to take your money.
No countdown clocks. No “only 3 left.” Proof first, then ask.
