+# Why I Created This Blog & Why It's Not Just About Tech
+
+Hi there! Welcome to my blog. If you're wondering why I created this space, it's because I wanted to share more than just technical tutorials or how-to guides – though you'll find those here too. This blog is a reflection of me and my journey through the world of technology, self-hosting, and beyond.
+
+## Why a blog?
+
+You might be thinking, "Why create another tech blog? There are plenty out there."
+Well, yes, there are. But I believe that sharing some of my opinions and experiences will eventually act out as a journal:
+
+1. **Personal touch**: Even though i've been working corporate all my career, this webpage won't contain that sugar coated language 😅. 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. If you're interested in self-hosting or just want to understand what it's all about, you might find what worked for me or didn't.
+
+## Why self-host?
+
+![Selfhosting rig](./whythispage/selfhostedrig.gif?w=400 "My self-hosting setup | A look at the hardware running this blog")
+
+Now, let's talk about why I chose to self-host this blog. In a nutshell, self-hosting gave me:
+
+- **Full control**: By hosting my own website, I have complete control over my content and how it's displayed. 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. Here's what you can look forward to:
+
+- **Tech how-tos**: Step-by-step guides on various topics, from setting up your own development environment to configuring your server.
+- **Self-hosting adventures**: My experiences, learnings, and tips on self-hosting, including challenges faced and solutions implemented.
+- **Random musings**: Thoughts on productivity, mental health, and other interests of mine that might not be directly related to tech.
