Tech for the UP,
built with sisu
We help individuals and small businesses in the Upper Peninsula with technology, self-hosting, and digital tools — building open-source solutions from the heart of Yooper country.
Self-Hosting Setup
We'll help you set up your own server — email, cloud storage, websites, and more. Own your data, ditch the subscriptions.
Web Development
Modern websites for UP businesses. Fast, accessible, mobile-first. No WordPress bloat — just clean code that works.
Security & Privacy
Password managers, encrypted email, VPNs, and security audits. We make digital safety simple for normal people.
Community Tech
Open shop nights, tech workshops, and one-on-one help for anyone in Delta County who needs it. No cost, no catch.
Automation & AI
Streamline your workflow with smart automations, chatbots, and AI tools. Small business doesn't mean small tech.
Network & Infrastructure
Home lab builds, mesh networks, IoT setups, and Proxmox clusters. Enterprise-grade infrastructure at UP prices.

PlannedWhat is sisu?
Sisu is a Finnish concept meaning extraordinary determination, resilience, and grit in the face of adversity. It's the defining trait of the Upper Peninsula — where Finnish heritage runs deep and winters test your resolve.
906.sh embodies that spirit. We're a tech services outfit from Delta County, Michigan — helping our neighbors build, connect, and stay independent in an increasingly digital world.
We believe technology should empower communities, not exploit them. Every tool we build is open-source. Every service we offer puts ownership in your hands.
