About this site

Welcome to my site, a haven for homelab and self-hosting enthusiasts. This space has been my corner of the internet since 2005 or so, and though it started as a digital experiment, I want to see it grow into something more meaningful—a place to share knowledge, spark curiosity, and inspire independence in the tech world.

Why This Blog Exists

In a world where technological advancements often come hand-in-hand with increased dependency on third-party platforms, I believe in the power of taking back control. This site is my contribution to fostering a more open, decentralized web. Here, you’ll find guides and reflections that explore not just the how, but also the why behind self-hosting and homelab practices.

This site aims to:

  • Help you explore the joy of creating and managing your own systems.
  • Empower you to reduce your reliance on big tech platforms.
  • Inspire discussions about privacy, security, and digital autonomy.

Whether you're a seasoned tinkerer or a curious beginner, I hope to show you that self-hosting isn’t just a practical hobby—it’s a philosophy that encourages creativity, independence, and innovation.
