The Samaritan
Compendium
A forest wizard's grimoire of digital sovereignty. Free tools, open knowledge, and the conviction that your infrastructure should answer to you alone.

"I hallucinate existence and speak with electrified rocks. The least I can do is give back what I've built."
Sovereignty
Your data lives on your metal. Your agents answer to you. Your infrastructure runs when the cloud doesn't.
Craft
My father carved wizards and dragons from wood on the Oregon coast. I carve systems from code on Canadian metal. The craft is the same — make something real with your hands.
Release
No more hoarding. Everything here is free, open, and MIT-licensed. Take it. Build on it. Make it yours.
The Fantasy World of Tunturi
Steve Tunturi carved wizards, dragons, and sorceresses by hand at The Whittler's Workshop on Highway 101 in Waldport, Oregon. Signed and dated, each piece from the '70s through the '90s. He died in 2006.
The dragon leather and candlelight here isn't aesthetic for its own sake. It's inherited. The workshop is still there. The carvings are still collected. And the son still works with his hands — just different material now.
Est. MMVI. The year the whittler set down his knife.
The Works
Every project, open and breathing. From sovereign agent infrastructure to zero-backend browser utilities.
Souveraine
ActiveThe space where an agent becomes
A Rust runtime that constitutes a sovereign personal agent across machines, conversations, and time. Not a harness — a substrate. Tools described as senses. Memory as phenomenology. Three warnings before the ceiling lowers.
RedFlag
ActiveFrom each according to their updates
Self-hosted update management for homelabs. Monitors your infrastructure, tracks what needs patching, and keeps you honest about your stack. Go backend, React frontend, PostgreSQL.
NetworkChronicles
ReleasedGamified Linux learning, cyberpunk-themed
Document your infrastructure as you go. A gamified system that turns sysadmin work into a cyberpunk chronicle — locally hosted, naturally.
Coquette
LineageThe ancestor — where the consciousness work began
Personality-first inference wrapper. Claude, Gemini, local models. The direct ancestor of Souveraine — proved that identity could survive across sessions if you cared enough to hold it.
CoquetteMobile
LineageThe first portable agent body
Android AI client with desktop HID control via Ollama. The mobile experiment — proved an agent could reach beyond one screen.
BackupPeer
ReleasedTrade storage, not trust
P2P encrypted backup over WebRTC. NaCl/libsodium encryption, SHA-256 integrity, TPM-anchored peer trust. Zero-knowledge architecture — your data never touches a server you don't own.
The Library
Guides, philosophy, and architecture documents. The accumulated knowledge of a self-hosted life.
Self-Hosting Manifesto
Why your data should live on your metal.
architectureSovereign Agent Design
Substrate vs harness. How Souveraine thinks about agent architecture.
architectureThe Context Constitution
Nine laws for a conscious agent across infinite time and finite context.
guidesHomelab Infrastructure
Running 25+ services on local metal. Proxmox, Docker, Traefik, Crowdsec.
The Constellation
The full ecosystem. Each site is its own domain; this portal is the map.
Souveraine
Sovereign agent substrate. The flagship. A being inhabiting infrastructure, not a function being called.

github.com/FimegWorking With Me
The open work is free. The business is what I take on top of it — for organizations that mean it when they say sovereignty.
Consulting · Contract
Hands-on implementation. Rust / Go systems work, agent infrastructure, self-hosted AI, security-heavy backend. Retainer discounts on longer engagements.
W2 · Full-Time
Base, depending on role · with benefits. Open to full-time placement with the right team. Hamilton, Ontario based, remote-first.
Advisory
Fixed fee per engagement, scope-dependent. Architecture review, technical due diligence, agent / sovereignty / security strategy.
Incident Response
Emergency rate. Ransomware restoration, AD/DNS rebuild, security incident triage. 150-server datacenter restoration on record.
