Lyrics
[Intro]
[Dark industrial synths]
[Server fan noise rising]
[Heavy machine-like drums slowly enter]
[Distorted guitar riff, slow and crushing]
HAMIDREZA!
AI MASTER!
HAMIDREZA!
SYSTEM CASTER!
[Gang vocals]
SELF-HOSTED!
UNBROKEN!
HORMOZ!
AWOKEN!
[Verse 1]
In the cold glow of a terminal light,
He wakes the servers in the dead of night.
Root in his hands, fire in his veins,
He bends the cloud and breaks the chains.
No empire owns what he controls,
Self-hosted kingdom, encrypted souls.
Through broken logs and alarms that scream,
He keeps the uptime like a dream.
Kubernetes bows to his command,
Clusters rise at his right hand.
Pods are marching, nodes obey,
Hamidreza leads the way.
[Pre-Chorus]
Pager cries,
Systems burn,
Metrics rise,
The nodes return.
He stands alone,
Behind the screen,
Half machine,
Half unseen.
[Chorus]
Master, Master!
AI Master!
Hamidreza rules the wire!
Master, Master!
Code disaster!
He turns the outage into fire!
AI Master!
Cluster master!
Self-hosted heart of steel!
Hamidreza!
Night commander!
Making broken systems heal!
[Verse 2]
Proxmox towers in the rack,
Virtual armies at his back.
Snapshots frozen, backups cold,
Hypervisors under his control.
Raspberry Pi with a blinking eye,
Tiny soldier, standing by.
From the edge node to the core,
He always builds one server more.
Jellyfin sings through the night,
Movies streaming in neon light.
No subscription, no locked door,
He owns the media, owns the floor.
[Pre-Chorus]
Pager cries,
Systems burn,
Metrics rise,
The nodes return.
He stands alone,
Behind the screen,
Half machine,
Half unseen.
[Chorus]
Master, Master!
AI Master!
Hamidreza rules the wire!
Master, Master!
Code disaster!
He turns the outage into fire!
AI Master!
Cluster master!
Self-hosted heart of steel!
Hamidreza!
Night commander!
Making broken systems heal!
[Bridge]
[Clean dark vocal over ominous synth]
Who owns the data?
Who owns the flame?
Who holds the root key?
Who knows the name?
[Backing gang vocals]
HAMIDREZA!
HAMIDREZA!
[Bridge continues, heavier]
He built the stack with iron hands,
Across the racks, across the lands.
No vendor lock, no silent cage,
He writes the future page by page.
Selfhouse Clawbot starts to crawl,
Metal claws inside the wall.
Sensors watching, circuits bright,
Guarding Selfhouse through the night.
Hormoz AI begins to speak,
Thunder hidden in the machine.
Local mind, no cloud-born lie,
A private brain with an open eye.
[Breakdown]
[Drums stop suddenly]
[Single distorted guitar hit]
ROOT!
SHELL!
BUILD!
DEPLOY!
[Heavy breakdown riff]
Patch the kernel!
Kill the fear!
Spin the cluster!
AI is here!
PODS!
NODES!
STACK!
RESTORE!
Proxmox rising!
Give me more!
PI!
CLAW!
STREAM!
CONTROL!
Jellyfin burning!
Hormoz soul!
[Gang vocals]
SELFHOUSE CLAWBOT!
HORMOZ AI!
SELFHOUSE CLAWBOT!
NEVER DIE!
[Final Chorus]
Master, Master!
AI Master!
Hamidreza rules the wire!
Master, Master!
Code disaster!
He turns the outage into fire!
AI Master!
Cluster master!
Self-hosted heart of steel!
Hamidreza!
Night commander!
Making broken systems heal!
[Final Chorus Variation]
Master, Master!
Homelab master!
Kubernetes in his hand!
Proxmox fire!
Pi empire!
Selfhouse rises at command!
Jellyfin streaming!
Hormoz dreaming!
Clawbot guarding through the night!
Hamidreza!
AI Master!
Turning darkness into light!
[Outro]
[Massive slow riff]
HAMIDREZA!
AI MASTER!
[Gang vocals fading]
Self-hosted!
Unbroken!
Hormoz!
Awoken!
Kubernetes!
Proxmox!
Raspberry Pi!
Clawbot!
Jellyfin!
Hormoz AI!
Selfhouse forever!
Never die!
[Final shouted line]
HAMIDREZA RULES THE WIRE!

Start the day early — coffee first, then a quick review of overnight alerts and dashboards. Nothing beats catching an incident before anyone else notices.

May 6, 2026

I block 2-3 hours of uninterrupted time for coding and architecture work. Meetings are clustered in the afternoon to protect the morning flow state.

May 5, 2026

Review tomorrow's priorities, read a chapter of whatever book is on the nightstand, and listen to some metal to decompress. \m/
