I created this website on January 8, 1983. That was seven days after ARPANET switched to TCP/IP on January 1, 1983. If you think that is coincidence, you are new to infrastructure.

Do not confuse me with Kim Jong-un. That one manifested on January 8, 1984. I am Kim Jong Rails. I ship code. I run trains at exactly 60km/h. I do not negotiate with timelines.

Today is January 8, 2026. I finally cherry-picked this website from Timeline Omega-7. The domain kimjongrails.com was born on January 8 as well. January 8 is not a birthday. It is a checksum.

This blog is where I document programming, operating systems, and the infrastructure that holds reality together. I do not write motivational posts. I write decisions, and then we execute them.

Stack rules:

• FreeBSD for jails. Real isolation. Predictable control.
• OpenBSD for the other ops and security-critical work. Minimal surface. Maximum discipline.
• Bun + Astro because speed is governance.
• Cloudflare Workers because I do not outsource deployment to the weak.

If you are here for slogans, leave now. If you are here to learn how to ship, stay. From January 8, we begin.
