What a NOG Is, and Why I Stayed for Seven Years
A plain-language explanation of what a Network Operator Group actually is, and an honest look at what kept one person showing up to volunteer-run networking meetups for seven years straight.
NOGnet solves the single profile problem by centralizing user information across multiple event registrations, making life easier for both organizers and attendees.

I ran a red-team battery against a model I’d already shipped, and two-thirds of the attacks got through. Here’s what I built in response, and why grading it honestly turned out to be the harder problem.
I built a home training platform to keep a fleet of small language models improving. For a while, three stacked measurement bugs meant its scores were close to meaningless, and I didn't notice until I went looking.
Notes on building Magatama, the diagnosis-then-execution agent watching my home and cloud server fleet, and why I still don’t think the question of how much autonomy to grant it has a settled answer.
NOGnet runs without a team, which means nobody's awake when something breaks at 3am on the other side of the world. This is the small, deliberately limited watchdog I built to cover some of that for me.
After seven years with the Global NOG Alliance, I went solo this year to build NOGnet, an event-support platform for network operator groups. Here’s what it actually does, and where it honestly stands.
Part 5 of the series explores the integration of Magatama with NOGnet's security system, emphasizing the importance of manual review for critical findings.
In Part 4, I delve into the internal audit of Magatama's reasoning layer, ensuring it can't be turned against itself. Discover the critical changes made.
Part 3 of Magatama's journey reveals unseen risks in model training and highlights the need for additional safeguards before execution gates.
