I'm the guy with a million hobbies because I find so many things interesting. I'm also a textbook hyperfixater, so I created a space to keep myself organized. That eventually evolved into a space to do that while also sharing, showcasing, and learning about all things open-source, self-hosted, data privacy-focused, or things I simply just like. I don't have a computer science or engineering degree, and I don't know how to code (other than HTML basic enough for a toddler to understand). I'm just an accountant who got sucked into the software world career-wise, who also just happens to enjoy computers, tinkering, and data ownership hobby-wise.
My day to day tech usage is centered on small, open source, and private technology with a focus on self-ownership and autonomy of personal data. The projects you find here are either in an effort to help others acheive this, just for fun, or for both. I am a huge proponet of responsible tech usage and creative solutions to protect your data via secure and private solutions (r/degoogle provides tons of great resources on this topic).
I'm also not perfect. I have an Xbox Series X, I use Windows, I probably have a couple too many logins, etc. The important thing is balance and intention for healthy technology usage. Think about what's important to you and be mindful of who has your data and for what reasons. The concept of a "digital footprint" is always going to be more relevant right now than ever.
The computers that I daily drive are listed here.
