+
+
+

+ [FAMILY FIRST] +

+

+ Being a dad to an amazing toddler is my most important role. Family time is + sacred - whether it's building block towers, exploring parks, or just + enjoying the chaos of everyday life together. Tech can wait; these moments + can't. +

+
+
+

+ [ACTIVE LIFESTYLE] +

+

+ I believe in keeping the body active. Whether it's hitting the gym, playing + sports, or just staying on the move - physical activity keeps me sharp, + balanced, and ready for whatever life throws my way. +

+
+
+

+ [ENJOYING THE SIMPLE THINGS] +

+

+ Life's too short not to enjoy it. A good drink, a relaxing + evening after a long day, or just not doing anything a blowing some steam off. +

+
+
+

+ [TECH WITH PURPOSE] +

+

+ Yes, I love tech - self-hosting, privacy, tinkering with hardware. But it's + a tool, not a lifestyle. Tech should serve life, not the other way around. +

It's a place where you'll get to know me – my thoughts, my mistakes, and my victories. I believe that this personal touch makes the content more engaging and relatable. +2. **Beyond tech**: While I'll be writing about technology, I also want to explore other topics that interest me, such as mental health, productivity and so on.... I think a well-rounded approach can help create a more engaging and informative space. +3. **Self-hosting adventure**: As you might have guessed from the title, this blog is self-hosted. This was an exciting journey for me, and I'll be sharing my experiences, challenges, and learnings along the way.

No more compromises or limitations imposed by third-party platforms. +- **Owning my data**: It's just, that I can have control over my data without others snooping around. +- **It's fun**: Started looking into sysadmin/devops for a long time, after a burnout I stepped into selfhosting more convincingly. + +## What to expect + +As I mentioned earlier, this blog will be a mix of tech tutorials, personal thoughts, and everything in between.
