dec0de.xyz — where smart homes, weird hardware projects and sane clouds meet.
A division of 1406557 B.C. LTD | Based in British Columbia, Canada.
We make systems behave. Most of the time. The rest is physics, weather, or fate.
| ✨ Service Tier / Offering | 💸 Typical Starting Point |
|---|---|
| Smart Home & Automation Zigbee, Wi-Fi, sensors, automations, and weird experiments that actually increase your sanity. Hub selection, wiring, lighting, scenes, integration with voice/assistant-systems. Hardware pricing is case-by-case. | Quoted per project |
| Home Servers, NAS & Lab Builds Unraid, Proxmox, media servers, backup boxes — safe home for your “what if I lose everything” dreams. From partially-built hardware to full turnkey systems. | $85/hr |
| Linux / Networking / Systems Consulting Yes, we still do the nerdy bits. Routing, firewalls, Linux servers, observability stacks, automation. Note: We do *not* do full-managed campus-wide networking services across Okanagan/Canada (see non-compete below). | $85/hr |
| Private Cloud & Compute Hosting Run your apps, side-projects, or homelab workloads on our hardware and infrastructure. Priced per resource: $2/GB RAM, from $4/vCPU, $0.08/GB storage. | From ~$25–30/mo for small VM |
| Hardware Fabrication & “Weird Projects” Custom sensor boards, electronics enclosures, mass-broadcast tools, SIP MESSAGE + dashboard builds, weird integration. If it hasn’t been done before, we’ll knock the rate down; if it involves raccoons or chain-saws, we’ll charge more. | $85/hr (scope depending) |
Non-Compete & Service Scope
What we do not do:
• Managed networking services covering the Okanagan region or all of Canada for clients outside our home-lab / project scope (i.e., we don’t act as a full-service MSP for large campus networks).
• Phone/VoIP service provisioning or ongoing phone-system management (no full-blown telecom service).
• We can support friends, homelabs, side-projects, smart home installs, servers, and hardware builds; but we’re not offering large-scale network-ops or carrier-style services.
For clarity: if your use-case is a home, a lab, or a fun project needing Linux, automation, sensors, hardware, or custom dashboards — we’re your folks. If it’s "we need managed WiFi everywhere for 300 offices across Canada", then you’re looking at someone else.
Programming Languages & Tooling
| Languages: Go, TypeScript/Node.js, PHP, Bash, Java, Rust (on a good day), and just enough Python to glue together tools that refuse to behave. |
| Tooling: Proxmox, Docker, GitHub Actions, Grafana, ClickHouse, Postgres, Loki/qryn, and assorted Western Canadian strategies for when the internet gremlins show up. |
Availability & Service Area
| Remote: Available across North America — handled over secure access, telemetry, and midnight SSH sessions. |
| In-Person (Okanagan Valley): Weekday evenings: 5 PM – 9 PM PST. Weekends: Available by prior arrangement — or immediately if something’s smoking, flooding or caught fire. Yes, we’ve done all three. |
| Focus: Primarily Western Canada, but latency doesn’t scare us. If you can ship it or plug it in, we can probably help. |
| Timezone: Pacific (PST/PDT) — but we speak fluent UTC and caffeine. |
Sample Projects (GitHub)
| Project | Use Case |
|---|---|
| NetWatcher Agent | Lightweight monitoring agent for edge devices and homelab/MSP environments. |
| NetWatcher Controller | Backend orchestrator — ingests telemetry and feeds dashboards. |
| tb-export | Prometheus exporter turning cryptic appliance stats into usable metrics. |
| tb-cdr | Transforms log data into structured analytics — less Excel, more SQL. |
| gofaxserver | Multi-tenant fax platform in Go — legacy tech, but tamed. |
| gomsggw | Messaging gateway for when you need to push bits between strange systems. |

Basement racks. Sensible hardware. West-coast “yeah, we can make that behave.”
Could be a flood. Could be a solar flare. Could be a bored electron taking the scenic route. We’ll still trace it, log it, and fix it before your coffee remembers it was hot.
Uptime, automation, weird hardware — until physics or the heat death of the universe files a ticket.
