The machine that
doesn't go to sleep.

One always-on host carrying the things that cannot be down when nobody is watching — the podcast feed, the static sites, the mail relay and the monitoring that grades all of it. Everything below runs here.

A human hand and a machine hand meeting at a spark — the Asylum Software brochure cover, reshot in 2026.
2026 the handshake that never times out

Services

running on this host
Podcast →
podcast.aspl.net
Castopod — Chai & Chronicles with Kirti. Episodes, show notes and the subscriber feed.
RSS feed →
/@chaiandchronicles/feed.xml
What Apple, Spotify and every podcast app actually read. Audio is served by Castopod at /audio/ so downloads get counted.
Poolhound →
poolhound.aspl.net · pool.aspl.net
Pool chemistry and equipment, measured rather than assumed — runtimes every fifteen minutes, two labs kept apart, and dose arithmetic fitted to this pool. Stats, the chemistry reference and the volume calculator are open to anyone; the controls are behind Entra.
Status →
status.aspl.net
Public board — is each service up or down right now, with 24-hour history. No login.
Uptime Kuma →
uptime.aspl.net
The monitoring application itself: every probe, its history and notification rules.
Kuma login
Capacity →
live.aspl.net/metrics
CPU, memory, disk and feed latency over time, with a projection of when the disk fills.
Entra ID
Threats →
live.aspl.net/threats
What is actually attacking this host — credential scans, WordPress probes, CVE hunting — and what fail2ban did about it.
Entra ID
VM On Demand →
aspl.azurewebsites.net
Start, stop and rebuild the on-demand axa box — the machine that does sleep, so it only bills when in use.
Entra ID
Web terminal →
ssh.aspl.net
Browser shell for when there is no laptop. Entra sign-in, then a system login.
Entra ID
SecScan →
secscan.aspl.net
Security posture across the estate — scan any host over SSH from the browser, ranked by verified exposure rather than raw CVSS.
Entra ID
Media assets
media.aspl.net/media/…
Artwork origin for the feed — the cover art every podcast app fetches. No browsable index; only referenced paths resolve.
