2025-05-16i fell in love with running my own network services after becoming familiar with linux and finding the selfhosted subreddit when i was in high school. at the beginning of 2020 i moved back in with my parents due to the trifecta of losing my hearing, dropping out of college, and the US' inadequate response to the COVID-19 pandemic fucking everything up, so i had lots of time and the privilege to hide in my room and mess around with computers.
