| I have fond memories of people opening up personal web pages, posting their links, stuff and hobbies for everybody to enjoy without the expectation to become a rich influencer or make money from a "side hustle". Because life should not be about monetization but about enjoyment, fulfillment and enriching yourself and the society in which we live. | **/start:** //old man's grumpy mumbling...// |

| | ====== A bit of history. ====== |
| | |
| | When i started i repurposed an old laptop and had lots of fun. Slowly i started moving more and more self-hosted stuff on it, so that limitations and availability issues become issues. I am currently in the process of moving the first "low effort, low cost" setup to a more mature and robust "need more study, need more hardware" approach. These pages will reflect a little bit of both as i am working on rewriting them to house both approaches with pro's and con's so that you can choose your way and pick the best that suits your specific case. |
