Hello again, fediverse! 👋

I’m Alex, a Linux sysadmin in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I first joined in 2019, then wandered between servers and took a few breaks along the way, so consider this a fresh start.

I’m now running my own instance on GoToSocial, because I enjoy self-hosting things I probably don’t need to self-host. Outside of work I dabble in music production and plan to start on game development, both strictly as hobbies. Expect a mix of homelab tinkering, Linux war stories, open-source and privacy chat, the odd travel photo, and whatever I’m playing or listening to at the moment. I’ll use content warnings for heavier topics and alt text on images.

Question for you: what’s the best thing you’ve self-hosted that you couldn’t live without now?
