For a few years, but more seriously starting around 2023, I have been interested in internet privacy, free and open source software (FOSS), and self hosting. I started exploring this interest by starting to build a home server and diving down that rabbit hole. This interest led me to stumble upon some videos about the IndieWeb and motivated me to start this website. My goal is to generally carve my own space out here on the internet.
