I’m Triston Line, a Solutions Architect based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. By day, I design infrastructure: Proxmox clusters, ZFS arrays, networks that actually work. By night (and weekend, and vacation), I’m usually somewhere between a mountain peak and a kayak seat, trying to remember why I thought this particular route was a good idea.

This blog is a space for the things that don’t fit neatly into a LinkedIn profile:

Poetry. I write about mountains, trains, love, loss, and the strange freedom of choosing to wander. Some of it rhymes. Most of it doesn’t.

Travel. Train journeys across Canada and Switzerland. Arctic expeditions. The ongoing project of experiencing every passenger rail route in the country.

Philosophy. Existentialism, ethics, the meaning we make in an indifferent universe. Light reading.

Technical Writing. Solutions architecture, Linux systems engineering, the occasional deep-dive into storage protocols that nobody asked for.

The Other Stuff. Harry Potter analysis, political science, why I donate blood, learning piano at 25, the distributed computing projects running on my servers.

If any of that sounds interesting, stick around. If not, the photos section has pictures of mountains, which are objectively nice to look at.
