I have been playing around with computers since the early 2000s, starting with digging old computers out of my grandparent's basement and trying to fix them up to see how well I could get them to run. I would've been in middle school at the time. As I got into high school, I started playing around with Linux, Ubuntu, to be exact. As time went on, I started fiddling with more and more distros and desktop environments. I currently run PopOS on my primary laptop as a dual boot with Windows 11. In more recent times, I have become a follower of the degoogle and de-big movements. I have also, partially related to that, started self hosting whatever I can. This section will cover projects and thoughts related primarily to self hosting, degoogling, and Linux. However, I will sometimes throw in something else I might be working on as I see fit.
Part 1 of building a pirate box out of an old E-waste laptop I found in the trash. This covers choosing a machine for the project, installing debian, software install, firewall config, and some of the why.
Part 2-the exciting conclusion to part 1. This covers getting a homepage onto your apache server, setting up the router, and a few polishing touches.
