Bytes & Bites is a practical journal for people who keep a home lab humming, cook after a long shift, and still glance at the markets before bed — without the corporate fluff.
I am EKS. This site is where the three desks of my week live in one place: IT security and technology notes, kitchen experiments from San Nicolas, Ilocos, and calm Philippine market write-ups.
Meet the crew
Say hello to Byte, Bite, and Mint — with intro videos for TECH · COOK · INVEST.
What you will find here
Three pillars, three colors:
- Tech — IT security and technology notes for operators: hardening, networking, cloud and home-lab practice, and defensive security explainers across platforms — not locked to one OS. Clear runbooks; never exploit walkthroughs.
- Cook — Home recipes you can actually make with local ingredients: air fryer, stove, and rice cooker plates with honest nutrition estimates.
- Invest — Educational PSEi notes and dividend context. Charts and grades for learning — not buy/sell instructions.

What this site is
Bytes & Bites is a personal journal that weaves technology, the kitchen, and calm market learning into one place. Each piece is meant to be useful the day you read it — practical, opinionated, and free of corporate fluff.
The look is deliberate: Byte Navy, Bite Orange, and Market Green, with Josefin Sans headings and Domine body type — so Tech, Cook, and Invest stay easy to tell apart at a glance.
What this is not
- Not financial advice
- Not medical or diet advice — recipe macros are estimates
- Not a hacking tutorial site
