README
Welcome to my Digital Garden!
Here is the place where I share my notes on just about everything that interests me since February 2022.
If you have some time to spare and want to explore, here are some nice entry points:
Maps of Content
- HomeLab
- Detection Engineering & Purple Teaming & Penetration Testing
- Digital Forensics & Incident Response
- Electronic Music Production
New Notes
- The Zen of Security Rules
- Public Attack Simulation Repos
- Public Detection Rule Repos
- Audit Deamon Rules
- Proxmox Backup

Atlas
Maps of Content, or MOCs for short, serve as a way to mark and organize the most prominent areas. To classify a note as a MOC, I use the #MOC tag in the yaml frontmatter and list the most relevant notes directly in the newly created MOC under their "Atlas" header.
If a link is greyed out, this either means that the reference is not public yet, or that I simply haven't written it. I often link to non-existent notes when I want to delve deeper into a topic at a later stage.
Tagging
Notes are tagged with the status or stage they are part of. Currently, the following statuses exist:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| #status/dump | This is used for brain dumps or new notes in general |
| #status/elaborate | When the content of the note doesn't satisfy me, I apply this tag indicating that it needs some more work |
| #status/link | Used when the content satisfies, but the backlinks to existing and future notes have not been established yet |
| #status/done | This is used when a note is considered done. This doesn't mean that changes aren't allowed, they happen quite often, but for the time being I'm done with the note |
| #status/timeout | These are notes where progress has not been made in a long time, but I also don't want to delete what has been already written |
Goals for This Garden
- Build a basic understanding across a wide range of subjects by understanding the gist of its main topics. → Pareto Principle
- Force myself to thoroughly work through the articles I read, rather than read, highlight and forget.
- Uncover connections between ideas I otherwise wouldn't have found.
- Working With The Garage Door Up

Guiding Principles and Questions for effective Note-taking
- Feynman Technique
- Only write if you instinctively know what to write.
- Translate the ideas into your own words, but keep the original meaning.
- What is not meant or excluded from the claim and why?
- What does the question's phrasing include and what does it exclude?
- What distinctions have been made and why?
- Is there any proof that the proposed idea does not work? → Tools for Research
- Does this idea conflict with an existing idea? → finding errors is good!
- Does this idea complement an existing idea? → link it or merge them
- What does this idea mean for the other ideas in the space?
- What are the idea's broader implications outside its space?
- How can this concept be applied to other subjects? → tinker with the idea
